Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has criticized the club’s goalkeeper transfer strategy, calling it fundamentally flawed.

Speaking on the Dressing Room podcast, Cole questioned how a club could have as many as nine goalkeepers and still struggle to identify a clear first-choice.

“There’s something systematically wrong because you can’t have nine goalkeepers on your books and not know which one is your number one,” he said.

Chelsea currently have four goalkeepers in their first-team squad: Robert Sanchez (27), Flip Jorgensen (22), Lucas Bergstrom (22), and Marcus Bettinelli (32). Meanwhile, Djordje Petrovic (25) and Kepa Arrizabalaga (30) are out on loan, and Genk’s Mike Penders (19) is set to join in 2025.

Cole believes the club’s recruitment policy for goalkeepers has been mismanaged. “If your system works well, you shouldn’t make as many mistakes that have been made with goalkeepers,” he added.

Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”

“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”

Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.

It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.

Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
