Transfer: Stop buying players – Carragher warns Chelsea co-owner Boehly

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has again hit out at Chelsea’s transfer policy after they agreed a deal to sign Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix.

The Blues have already brought in nine players before reaching an agreement for Felix.

Players like Pedro Neto, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen, Omari Kellyman, Aaron Anselmino, Renato Vega, Caleb Wiley, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo have all arrived at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea currently list 33 players in their first-team squad, which means 10 will miss out every matchday.

Speaking on Monday Night Football, Carragher said: “Chelsea have just got to stop buying players and players have got to stop signing for Chelsea.

“I don’t know why, if I was a player, why would you sign (for Chelsea)?

“The only reason why you would sign is because someone might say, your agent might say, ‘we’re getting a seven-year deal on big money, that’s guaranteed money for seven years’.

“You know what I would say? Back yourself as a player. Sign a four-year deal at a proper club and back yourself to do well, and then when you’re due for a renewal, your money goes up anyway. I don’t understand why players are signing seven-year deals.”
