Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has taken a swipe at their transfer business.
Conte could not resist a dig at last summer's signings on the back of their title success but also made it clear that the current players must accept their responsibility for bad results.
Chelsea boss Conte said: “I don't know if it's a problem to attract a great player or not. I repeat, last season we won the title… and…. yep… You can see our transfer market.
“Our market. I think this is not the most important thing if you stay in the Champions League or win. Last season, we won the title…
“I think, or the result of our time, like last season, when we won title and reached final of the FA Cup, it's always the same: we must be ready to share the responsibility with the club, the players, me and my staff.
“Don't forget that two years ago Chelsea finished tenth, with many players of this season. And they decided to continue to play for this club, two years ago. Many players, they were here, when they finished tenth.
“I don't know (if they will leave). I think this is not a question for me. This is a question for the players. Not for me."
