Joe Cole did an exclusive interview with the Sun yesterday where the former Chelsea winger gave some interesting thoughts about what he thought his old club were doing wrong.

He suggested that veterans could be brought in on free transfers to

“I think of experienced players who can come into the squad and help out immediately. So you’re looking at who’s available, I’m thinking players like John Stones.

“Lewandowski, he’s coming to the end of his contract, we need a centre forward.

“He probably fancies the Premier League and living in London, give him a year-long contract to come and play 35 games for us and help out Liam Delap and help out Joao Pedro. They need those types of players.”

Chelsea’s model could benefit from Cole’s suggestion

It would be a huge pivot from the club’s current model, but giving how badly that model is doing right now, maybe it’s worth a try. Certainly free transfers only have a small risk financially, and if they can help the players around them improve and help get the team into the top four, they would definitely be worth it.
