Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has slammed the spending of Chelsea.
Souness claims it shows a lack of understanding of football.
He wrote in the Daily Mail: "What we have been witnessing in the last few weeks is the inflated fees Chelsea are distorting the market with. [Todd] Boehly has come with a great big chequebook, not understanding the valuation of players.
"He has bought three midfielders at vast expense and still doesn't have a world class striker. That's an example of someone not understanding our game.
"You can have the best goalkeeper, defence and midfield but unless you can put the ball in the net, you don't win matches.
"The numbers speak for themselves. Fernandez didn't score for Chelsea last season. Caicedo scored once for Brighton. Lavia scored once for Southampton.
"You can be playing average football but if you've got a great goalscorer, it drags you to respectability and possibly a trophy. It can win you games when you don't deserve to win and wallpaper over all your shortcomings."
