Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists his squad isn't overloaded.
Lampard refused to believe that the squad has now become too bloated.
"I don't agree with that," he said. "I had two other windows where I was here. The first window we couldn't [sign players], the second window we didn't bring anyone in.
"Off the back of the year, the club's trying to improve at all times and what we did do is try and invest predominantly in younger players and for that you maybe have to wait your time. They're for the present and they're also for the future.
"I don't see that [Chelsea signed too many players]. People can speculate as much as they like but for a club you're always trying to move forward. I believe heavily that these players can be good players for the club.
"They are very good players. At this moment it's a tough time for everyone."
