“Respect the Club” — Chelsea Legend Marcel Desailly Sends Message to Cole Palmer
Chelsea legend Marcel Desailly has shared his thoughts, stating that if Cole Palmer’s needs are not met by the club, the player might decide to leave.
While defending Palmer, he also added that the player should show respect to the club, as they have supported him over the years.
“If Cole Palmer chooses to leave Chelsea, that’s up to him, but I just want him to respect the club, because they are the ones who helped him become the player he is today.”
“I think Palmer is looking for more stability and a team setup that suits him, but he still needs to fully recover from his groin injury and return to full fitness.”
Joe Cole speaks on Arsenal and their chances of winning the Premier League this season. He suggests that if Arsenal can sign Victor Osimhen, the title could be theirs.
“I’m going to put an asterisk on this. I think Manchester City win the title if they [Arsenal] don’t bring in a number nine because I still think that will be a problem for them.
“Therefore, I am predicting Manchester City to clinch the league ahead of Arsenal, but if they sign Victor Osimhen, I would change my prediction. As it stands, my choice is Manchester City.”
Jay-Jay Okocha speaks on the popular GOAT debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and shares his pick.
“Ronaldo is a special player. But he’s, for me, a goal scorer. He can score 10 million goals. He is a goal scorer. It’s like Haaland. Haaland is a goal scorer.”
“But Messi, Messi, Messi is on another planet,” he said.
“Messi was born to play football, you know. Messi, I think Messi will get ill if he doesn’t play football. You know, he’s a genius,” he added.
