Ruut Gullit has been quoted slamming Chelsea’s current squad after another bad result for the Blues.

Liam Rosenior’s team are crumbling in the Premier League and, Gullit crushed the ill advised “project” which is suffering so badly right now:

“I understand that you want to win… but you have only young players there. You need some veterans to teach these young players in training what they have to do. The mistakes they make… all the time they make the same mistakes,” Gullit said in quotes picked up by the Daily Mail.

Chelsea youngsters overpaid claims former Blue

The Blues have made a major effort to lower their average wages, but Gullit still thinks these youngsters are overpaid:

“There’s a lot of players that earn too much money and are not that good. That creates a problem. I’d rather have them from the grassroots than coming for all the players. That’s the problem of Chelsea. They’re coming from all of the other places.”

He’s bang on, and he’s echoing what most right thinking fans have been saying right since the start of this “project.”
