Olivier Giroud becomes latest former Chelsea player to state the obvious issue there

Former Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has become the latest former Blue to state the obvious issue at the club right now.

Away from the drama of the comments made by Enzo Maresca for a bit, because that has taken over our reporting so far this week – and besides, Enzo Maresca has said his relationship with the sporting directors and owners is all OK so we can put that in a box and move on, right? RIGHT!?

EXCL: The full inside story of what is going on between Enzo Maresca and the Chelsea hierarchy as tensions reach boiling point!

Yeah, maybe not. Maybe it’s a case of there has been too much said at this point to move on properly. But let’s hope for the sake of the team and performances and results out on the pitch, that they can all at least move on together for now and focus on going forward.

Back to the comments made by Giroud this week, who was a welcome guest on Monday Night Football on Sky Sports last night, he’s basically backed up what many other former Chelsea players have said about this current Chelsea project under the new owners.

More experience needed

The likes of John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, John Terry, and Joe Cole have all said similar things to this and believe that this Chelsea team could use more experience added to it, and they’re not wrong either by the way.

And neither is Giroud, who becomes the latest former Chelsea star to say the same thing.

What Giroud said

The striker said last night:

“Maresca needs a striker who is consistent, and more experience in the squad, there’s a lot of young players.”

This many former top Chelsea players simply cannot be wrong, sorry but they can’t be.

But I really don't think it's that. We see how we improve when we have a better defense, that is the thing that is way obvious that the board did not want to see. 

And as well in mid it can't just be Enzo and Caicedo. 

It was supposed to be Lavia but he is always injured so get rid and get a replacement. And Santos I'm still not sure about him, he had one good game but on the entirity I prefer as of right now we sell him and get Elliot. 

BUT this decision should be taken at the end of the season because who knows Santos might go on a run and changed our mind. But as of right now I'm so so on him.
