Frank Lampard was amused by Jurgen Klopp’s criticism of Chelsea.
The Liverpool boss indicated that not at all clubs can operate on the same model as Chelsea and go on a spending spree.
Chelsea have enjoyed a prolific transfer window with over £200m spent on bringing in Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr and Kai Havertz.
Lampard’s reply was in reference to Liverpool’s own expenses in player transfers under Jurgen Klopp. The Reds spents millions on Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah to formulate their championship-level squad.
When asked about Klopp’s comments, Lampard said, “I found it slightly amusing because when you talk about the owners of clubs, I don’t think it matters what line of business they come from.
“We are talking about some very rich owners in the Premier League. With Liverpool’s story, I referenced it a lot last year. They’ve managed to get recruitment right to a really high level.
“The reality is – other than maybe Leicester – most clubs that win the league in the modern day have recruited at quite a high level money-wise.
“You can go through the Liverpool players – Van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho, Keita, Mane, Salah – incredible players that came at a very high price. Liverpool have done it over a period of time. What we have done is come off the back of a ban and try to address the situation ourselves. It’s par for the course. There’s no point doing the maths.
