Joe Cole and Frank Lampard Share Top Strategies for Building Chelsea Squad
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


The atmosphere around Chelsea has hit a boiling point. The once-calm waters have transformed into turbulent seas, and both Clearlake and the sporting directors find themselves facing a formidable backlash.

Supporters have reached their wit’s end. Their discontent is palpable, echoing in louder chants and planned protests. Songs criticizing the ownership ring out during matches, indicating a clear shift in sentiment. The waves of change are coming, and the decision-makers are about to feel submerged.

Now, consider this: Who would ideally be trusted with building a Premier League lineup? Would it be Chelsea legends Joe Cole and Frank Lampard, or would you place your faith in Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, long-time scouts turned sporting directors?

For me, the choice is straightforward. I’d trust the guys who know the ins and outs of playing at the highest level. Both Cole and Lampard have firsthand experience with successful teams, understanding precisely what’s needed to achieve greatness. They’ve witnessed the critical role seasoned players play in nurturing young talent, offering guidance on and off the field, providing a balance within the squad by serving as mentors and leaders.

And what about Winstanley and Stewart? We were led to believe they are ‘experts,’ right?

They deserve acknowledgment for their prowess in scouting, having discovered several affordable yet promising talents for us as well as their previous clubs. I can see them thriving as head scouts. However, managing squad assembly at a prestigious club like Chelsea, rich with recent triumphs, might be overly ambitious. Transitioning from scouting to commanding such an influential role is not a leap they ought to have made so abruptly.

Consider Winstanley’s path. Moving from heading scouting operations at Brighton to directing recruitment and transfers at Chelsea FC is astonishing. It’s like he leaped from being a match analyst at Derby to performance manager at Wigan, and now he’s steering Chelsea’s recruitment ship. Did he embellish his resume, do you think?

And then there’s Stewart. While he does bring experience to the table, having served as a Technical Director at Monaco, it’s unclear how much authority that position truly held—just think of Petr Cech’s role at Chelsea, which seemed largely titular. Managing recruitment for a global entity like Chelsea is a substantial step up. Stewart primarily led scouting before this, which is undoubtedly his forte, suggesting they’re more suited to finding players than orchestrating comprehensive club strategy.

Is this truly the apex of talent?

Neither Cole nor Lampard has crossed into the realms of scouting or recruitment, but they’ve both graced the pitch. To me, that insight is invaluable. That’s why, eventually, I’d like to see an ex-player in charge of football decisions. The most effective directors often come from a background of on-field excellence, seamlessly transitioning into these leadership roles.

While it’s not imperative that directors have played before, it undeniably adds a valuable dimension. Many legendary managers never played professionally, yet their experience offers them a unique lens.

Take this reflection from Cole, and you can’t help but agree. His words echo the twilight of playing days, a testimony to the benefit of mingling with experienced peers. Owners should ponder his message thoroughly.

Joe Cole once remarked: “Buying young talent is beneficial; they’re assets that grow. Stats can predict a player’s trajectory, but true development is achieved through playing and learning with seasoned professionals. I’ve grown immensely from such interactions, and Chelsea needs those stalwarts now more than ever.”

Cole emphasizes that playing alongside veterans shaped him into a formidable player. He’s not alone in this stance; countless pros would attest to similar experiences. It’s time to heed their advice.

Moreover, in 2024, Lampard echoed this notion. Mentioning the impact of watching figures like Didier Drogba and John Terry is crucial. The current leadership at Chelsea seems to overlook this necessity.

So, if there’s one takeaway for the club’s hierarchy today, it’s this: Listen to genuine game connoisseurs like Lampard and Cole. Their experiential wisdom is indispensable, and their insights are exactly what Chelsea needs to navigate through these stormy waters.
