A Chelsea legend has launched a scathing attack on one of the club’s players, calling for his immediate departure from the team after a disappointing performance in their dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton.
Although the team as a whole put in a commanding display, the player in question failed to make any significant impact, leading the legend to state that his presence in the squad threatens Chelsea’s chances of sustained success.
The former player, who is highly respected by Chelsea supporters, made his views crystal clear: “With him in the team, Chelsea will struggle to maintain consistent progress,” he declared.
“He’s a complete disaster! I’m sick of watching him drag the team down. Tear up his contract now and give it to Jadon Sancho—at least he delivers!”
The criticism comes in the wake of impressive performances by other players like Raheem Sterling and Christopher Nkunku, which highlighted the ineffective display of the player under fire.
His inability to contribute in a match where Chelsea was comfortably ahead made his lack of form all the more apparent.
The frustration surrounding his performances has been growing, with former players and fans alike voicing their displeasure.
Chelsea legend John Terry is also reportedly in agreement with the assessment, suggesting that the player should be let go.
Known for his high expectations, Terry has stressed the importance of maintaining an elite squad capable of achieving top-level results.
“This is undoubtedly the biggest flop we’ve ever had,” the former player went on to say. “He was unbearable to watch yesterday. He needs to leave immediately!”
The intense criticism has divided the Chelsea fanbase, with some supporters agreeing with the call for the player’s departure, while others still hold out hope that he can regain his form.
However, the mounting backlash from both fans and club legends leaves the player’s future at Chelsea hanging in the balance.
The club’s management now faces a crucial decision.
Should they keep the player in the squad, they will need to see a drastic improvement in his performances in order to justify his place.
If he continues to struggle, it’s likely his time at Stamford Bridge will come to a swift and unpleasant end, as Chelsea looks to prioritize players who can help them achieve their ambitions on the pitch.
