Jamie Carragher has said that Chelsea need to replace their summer signing, Robert Sanchez.
He said the Blues should be ready to sign at least four top players to stand a chance of finishing within the top four in the Premier League table.
Chelsea have spent about £1billion in the transfer market within a year under their new owner, Todd Boehly
Carragher still feels Chelsea need to spend more money in bringing in a new goalkeeper despite spending £25m on Robert Sanchez this month.
“I think what you’d say about Chelsea in these first two games, disappointing results for them, but they’ve actually impressed in terms of how they played against Liverpool and I thought they played well at West Ham,” he told Sky Sports
“But I do feel when you spend that amount of money, it does feel strange when – we’re all asked before the start of the season [for predictions] – not many people are putting Chelsea in the top four.
“Now we’re not all great tipsters, so it doesn’t mean they won’t finish there, but not many people are thinking that squad, with that much money spent on it, will finish in the top four.
And that doesn’t seem right to me, because that is an unbelievable amount of money.
“And I do feel, even though I’ve been really impressed with them in the first two games, if you asked me how many players they need to challenge Manchester City – I’m not talking about winning the league – I still think they need a new goalkeeper even though they’ve just signed Sanchez.
“I think they probably still need another top centre-half because Thiago Silva is 38.
“I don’t think there’s a real out-and-out goalscorer. Your goalscorer doesn’t have to be your centre-forward, Liverpool’s is Mohamed Salah who plays on the right wing so it’s not a dig at Nicolas Jackson.
“He’s only just come into the club and I’ve been impressed with him.
“But you think of those really important decisions, it still feels like four players, four top players, would need to go into that team just to challenge Manchester City and that doesn’t feel right when you consider the amount of money that they’ve spent.
