'Special talent': Jamie Carragher thinks Chelsea have actually made the best signing in the PL this summer
Pundits have not been shy to criticise Chelsea in recent seasons, and that has certainly continued following their recent transfer business.
The Blues have continued to add to an already bloated squad, leaving Enzo Maresca to have to drop some big players from his matchday squad entirely for the season opener.
Raheem Sterling was one of those who missed out, with him reacting by releasing a statement that looked for clarity over his position at the club.

Jamie Carragher has previously called for the Blues to stop making new signings at this stage, and allow the players they already have the chance to develop.
However, the former Liverpool star has certainly been impressed by the addition of Pedro Neto this summer.
Carragher thinks Pedro Neto is best signing of summer
When making his end of season predictions for the Premier League in this campaign, he named the winger as his predicted impact signing, and stated just how good he thinks he can be.
He said to Monday Night Football: “If they can keep him fit, he’s a special talent. I think he is one of the top players in the Premier League if fit.”
Neto was named on the bench for the first game of the season against Manchester City, however was the first man Maresca looked to when it was time to chase the game late on.
Chelsea fans believe Neto should start the next Blues game, with them not really starting a natural winger in their last game at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea close to signing Joao Felix
Already though, it looks as if his place in the side is going to come under even more of a threat, with Chelsea close to announcing the signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid.
Questions remain over what position Felix will play, with many wondering if he was the signing Chelsea really need to make at this stage.
It could be a first Stamford Bridge start for Neto later this week in the Europa Conference League qualifier on Thursday against Servette.
