How Lampard managed a hazardous problem
Lampard has had to lean on young players unproven at the top level to fill that void, and even in January - after the transfer ban had been lifted - there were no reinforcements. Chelsea are the only Premier League side not to have spent a penny on signings this season. The average outlay of the other clubs competing for a top-four finish is £126m. Manchester United, three points below them in the table, have spent £216m.
