Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has warned
Chelsea that its new team could be ‘more inconsistent’ and ‘less reliable’.
Neville also reminded manager Frank Lampard that previous
attempts to play open, attacking football at Stamford Bridge, have cost coaches
their jobs.
The Blues have broken their transfer record to sign Kai
Havertz, in addition to Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell and Thiago
Silva for over £200million.
Despite the financial impact of COVID-19, the spending will
not stop there, with a £25m deal for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy almost
done.
Neville has said the brand of football Roman Abramovich
expects his side to play doesn’t always produce results.
“Chelsea’s interesting because Roman Abramovich has wanted
for 15 years a flamboyant team.
“But every time he’s gone for the flamboyant managers to try
and get the flamboyant team, he’s been pulled back to that more methodical type
of approach that’s been successful for the club.
“I think this year
he’s probably investing, partly because of COVID-19 and he sees an opportunity
to exploit the market, but I think because what Frank Lampard has done
invigorated him.
“He wants excitement, he wants thrill and that’s why he’s
invested this summer, to go again at this moment because he sees a team that’s
got something he’s always wanted.”
Chelsea finished in fourth place and lost in the FA Cup
final to Arsenal in Lampard’s first season in charge.
