Manchester United have been linked with a sensational move for Cole Palmer after former Chelsea star Joe Cole suggested the England international could consider leaving Stamford Bridge amid growing frustration at the club.
Speaking in recent media appearances, Cole delivered a scathing assessment of ***CHELSEA***’s current direction, criticising the ownership model and warning that top players may begin to look elsewhere. He claimed that players are becoming “frustrated” and hinted that someone of Palmer’s quality could start questioning his future.
‘You can say what you like about the Roman Abramovich era but it was built with one thing in mind and that was to win trophies,’ Cole said on The Dressing Room podcast. It was pitch from the football pitch outwards. Under Roman Chelsea wanted the best managers we could get and the best players we could get. The idea was to try and win every game and win every trophy.
‘When that didn’t happen we’re going to change the manager, which can be chaotic, and we’re going to change players. We’re selling them if we have to.
‘You all knew what was going on, right? Now the new ownership group has come in and they spent a lot of money initially, wasted a lot of money, in my opinion, on not getting the right players in through the door.”
‘Over £1billion has been spent on the premise that these lads will develop and become players, and some of them will become great players. But the Chelsea fans are upset because they don’t feel like they’re competing, and they’re not really.
‘You’re not buying players to win games of football, you’re buying players as an asset and I don’t think that ever works.
Asked about players potentially looking elsewhere given the situation at CHELSEA, Cole added: ‘They’re frustrated. And you get into that position now, where the best players are going to start going…
‘If you’re Cole Palmer you’re thinking, I could go and play anywhere in the world. Like, what’s happening here? Do you know what I mean?’
