Chelsea midfielder Obi Mikel questions Man City transfer policy

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has taken a swipe at Manchester City's transfer policy.

Chelsea won the Double last season without any major changes to the squad in the summer.

And Nigeria international Obi Mikel told chelseafc.com: "It's not about how much you spend but the team you have. We have a team here, Madrid keep buying players but they don't have a team, and that's one of the problems Man City will have this season.

"The team has always been complete, Yossi (Benayoun) is the only one we bought but we have young players coming through. It will still be the same team playing, and it is important we play together. We know each other's game, if Didier makes a run you know where to pass to him."
