Joe Cole has urged Chelsea to sign John Stones and Robert Lewandowski. Both players have announced they will be leaving Manchester City and Barcelona respectively.
Inexperience has widely been identified as a weakness at Stamford Bridge and Cole believes the experience duo would instantly help the team’s dressing room. Cole said to football.london: “We don’t know what the finances are.
“So it’s alright saying that we’re going to buy that player and buy that player. We may have to sell players, we don’t know.
“One thing we’re sure we don’t want is wholesale changes because these young players that you had belief in three years ago: they’re still the same players.
“They just need what I’ve been saying for two or three years, where you have experience around them within the group that helps them through games to coach them, whilst on the pitch to give them their wisdom, you know, and build it out that way.
“And then you bring in your John Stones and Robert Lewandowski and players on a free transfer who don’t need to play every minute of every game, but they understand winning, they understand culture and they can still help out in the pitch and do bits.”
