Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta were all quizzed on Chelsea's business in their first press conferences since the transfer window shut
When asked whether the amount of money spent on transfers last month was good or bad for football, Arteta responded: “It’s the context that we are living in. We had in our side the possibility to do certain things that we didn’t do in the summer, and we were willing to improve the squad.
And Guardiola insisted that Abu Dhabi-owned City would have been widely criticised if they had embarked on the same sort of spending spree as Chelsea.“Despite being the fifth or sixth in the Premier League team for net spend, we won 11 trophies, four Premier Leagues in the last five years.“That is what really counts to us. What Chelsea have done is none of my business.
“We were accused. I don’t forget, eight or nine teams in the Premier League send a letter to the Premier League for us to be banned.
