''I look at Kai Havertz and wonder if Chelsea really needed to sign him'' : Jamie Carragher

Carragher says that Lampard may not have the best XI in England but he certainly has one of the strongest squads.

The former Liverpool defender feels that Havertz has great potential.

However, buying a player simply because he's highly-rated never works, as per Carragher.

"After an inconsistent run, Frank Lampard has been playing down the idea Chelsea were ever title contenders," Jamie Carragher wrote in his column for The Daily Telegraph.

"Maybe this season was too soon, but although he may not have the best starting XI in England, Frank certainly has one of the strongest squads.  

"I am starting to wonder if he has too many options and that is why he is yet to settle on the right formula. 

"I look at Kai Havertz and wonder if Chelsea really needed to sign him last summer? He is obviously a player of great potential, but it never works buying a player because he is so highly-rated, unless you have a predetermined idea where he will fit into the side."

The German youngster has not quite settled into English football yet, scoring just 1 goal and providing 1 assist in his 14 league games so far.

Havertz is still only 21-years-old and thus has plenty of time to prove his doubters wrong.
