José Mourinho has provocatively suggested rival clubs have adopted a "dodgy" approach to Uefa's new financial fair play (FFP) regulations as the Chelsea manager prepares for Monday's daunting trip to the current leaders, and fellow lavish spenders, Manchester City.
Chelsea completed their January transfer business with the £12.5m arrival of Kurt Zouma from St Étienne on Friday, the centre-half returning to the French club on loan for the remainder of the season, to take their spending this month to over £45m.
Yet the Londoners have recouped over £55m with the sales of Juan Mata and Kevin de Bruyne and, despite announcing losses of £49.4m in the figures released on new year's eve, are confident they will satisfy all FFP rules.
