A lot of dust, so far only verbal and written, has been raised about Chelsea’s unprecedented spending in the last two transfer windows. The new boss Todd Boehly spent a total of 611,490,000 euros, of which about 330,000,000 went last January. There is no position where Chelsea has not brought in reinforcements, but even that is not enough for the Blues to get involved in a serious fight for the Champions League.This summer, reinforcements were brought to Thomas Tuchel, meanwhile Graham Potter succeeded him at Stamford Bridge, but even the English expert is not doing much better. The leaders of the club decided to try to catch the last train for the Champions League with new, fabulous investments, and their moves were met with a lot of negative comments.Time will tell whether, due to such moves, Chelsea will one day face numerous sanctions such as, it was announced today, those that are threatening Manchester City. But Graham Potter sees nothing wrong with the fact that Chelsea have spent more than all the other clubs in the remaining four ‘big leagues’ combined.##NAJAVA_MECA_7007013##In an interview for the club’s website, Potter talked about the most current topic of the recently concluded winter transfer window and in some way answered Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. Speaking about Chelsea’s purchases, the Spaniard recalled when the Premier League players signed a request for City to be penalized (if you look at it nowadays, it makes sense), while the German said that he must not comment on the given topic without a lawyer.”It’s all normal. We’ve spent the money we’ve spent. The media aren’t going to let that go under the radar. All of football will be singing that song, that’s for sure. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. There’s free speech, which is good. I don’t worry about that” he said.Potter continued: “Envy isn’t a good quality to have. I’ve never been envious of anybody. I’ve tried to work and do the best I can in the circumstances I have. You’re best to compare to yourself rather than somebody else because you don’t know the context or the situation. I also understand that’s the world we’re in, and that’s fine by me.”Graham Potter attacks Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola: Envy is not a quality to have.I don’t understand how it’s possible, but it’s not for me to explain how it works, said KloppGuardiola, meanwhile, stressed that the reaction would have been far worse if it was City. pic.twitter.com/VHLdkTIEfT— BelgiumAFTV (@AftvBelgium) February 6, 2023 Potter continued by saying that it is not good to judge people because you don’t know their story or what’s behind the scenes.‘You’re best to compare to yourself rather than somebody else because you don’t know the context or the situation. I also understand that’s the world we’re in, and that’s fine by me.”And then poked the competition, or just presented a true fact.”Most managers would love to be in my position”.A statement that we are not used to until now. But apparently, a significantly more demanding environment than the one in Brighton is gradually taking him over. Although he may have exaggerated a little, because the big question is how many experts would want to lead a giant without a classic striker who is trotting in the ninth position of the Premier League and as things stand it is unlike to play in the Champions League next season.
