Former Chelsea shot stopper Asmir Begovic has delivered a scathing assessment of the club at present.
The Stamford Bridge team are still struggling to find an identity and a run of wins under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
QPR goalkeeper Begovic, who knew a different Chelsea that would win trophies for fun, criticised how the club was signing players in recent months.
“I, honestly, I mean in the last 12 months... What has happened at Chelsea Football Club? It just beggars belief," Begovic said to Alex Goldberg on The Byline podcast.
“I mean the squad of players at Pochettino's disposal, the amount of money spent is 12th in the league - it's mid-table! It is literally mid-table. If they were any higher you would be working miracles.
“You have a bit of luck with [Christopher] Nkunku, I get it, he's a top player. Cole Palmer has only just come in. But what is going on with the recruitment of these players? Why is Chelsea Football Club rebuilding?
“Why is Chelsea Football Club in a transition? This is one of the best. I mean I've been there. I'm proud to have been there. It's one of the best locations to play football in the world."
