Radio pundit Natalie Sawyer believes Chelsea should get the same "amount of stick" Nottingham Forest did after signing several players in the summer.
The Reds spent around £145 million in the summer transfer market, signing 23 players in their squad rebuild following promotion from the Championship. Meanwhile, several players left the City Ground after coming to the end of their contracts and loan deals thus replacements were necessary.
However, Steve Cooper's side still received some criticism for their transfer business. Chelsea, on the other hand, have so far signed 13 players this season, the latest being Mykhailo Mudryk for a reported fee of £88.5m.

Sawyer questioned the Blues' transfer business, claiming they are already stocked up in the positions they reinforced. "They [Chelsea] seem to be buying players in position they have players in already, it's not like they're players that aren't getting into the team, there are injuries," Sawyer said on talkSPORT.
"We know Chelsea have had heavy injuries but when you're bringing another winger in and there are already wingers, I'm just thinking, how are they going to make everybody happy?! The amount of stick that Forest got for the players they signed and yes it was an incredible amount of players, but they had a number of players out of contract, a number of players who had been on loan at the club, they had to bring in a big turn around of first-team personnel.
"Chelsea don't have that issue and yet they don't seem to be getting any flack about the number of players they're bringing in. 15 player under Todd Boehly, that's an incredible amount of players and they've still got [Christopher] Nkunku to come and who else as well. I just can't get my head around it."
