‘Even Osimhen can’t save Chelsea’

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 14, 2023

Some fans of the English Premier League club, Chelsea, believe the signing of Nigeria international Victor Osimhen cannot save the club from their woes as the London outfits’ underwhelming performance deepens, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

It has been a season to forget for the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League winners as they currently find themselves sitting in 11th position on the EPL log and are on the verge of getting knocked out of the prestigious club competition after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

The Blues during the summer and winter transfer windows spent the sum of €611.49m to bring in players after American billionaire Todd Boehly completed the club’s takeover in May last year.

Under the American billionaire, Chelsea have sacked Thomas Tuchel as well as Harry Potter before appointing former midfielder Frank Lampard as caretaker manager.

The return of the club legend has not had any impact on the team’s performance as they are yet to register a win after three games since he took charge.

However, after Wednesday’s defeat to the Spanish giants, Frank Khalid, a British entrepreneur, the owner of West London Film Studios, Elbrook Cash and Carry wrote on his Twitter page that he hoped the club could spend on signing Osimhen.

He wrote, “Personally I would not spend the £80m on buying Joao Felix in the summer and use that money to buy Victor Osimhen, we need a goal scorer and someone who will make a difference.”

Fans however disagree with Khalid, stating that even the signing of the 24-year-old striker can’t save the club from drowning.

Duke of Kiambu said, “Even if we buy Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) or (Erling) Haaland with the way we play we can’t score goals. Kai (Hervertz) was scoring goals at Leverkusen just for fun but he became an ordinary player at Chelsea, (Raheem) Sterling was playing well at City but things changed at Chelsea. There’s something constant about us.”

NitraM Kay added, “A good player with a poor tactician is good as dead. Lampard is poor, no playing from the middle only 11 individuals playing together and no chemistry at all. You can’t run for long like with a defender next to you and have a clear shooting. We need a proper coach.”

“And Osimhen is the one? Go back and watch Timo Werner before he came to Chelsea then, as a Chelsea fan you should be able to know the number of goals he scored before coming to Chelsea that year, he was a good goal scorer and played good football, he had everything,” Effizy said.

A Nigerian Chelsae fan, Omoba Àdìmúlà, tweeted, “If I know Victor Osimhen personally, I’ll advise him not to join Chelsea. We are not ambitious and it won’t help his career.”

Oladunni Oluwaseun believes the club is suffering due to poor management.

“It’s not about buying the players, do we have a manager that can manage them yet?

Because to me the problem we have now in Chelsea is management. Lampard is not worth being called a first-team coach.”

John wrote, “I won’t advise him to come to Chelsea now. See now Felix is lazy or the club is killing players.”

Breez Theunseen implies that signing new players will change the club’s fortune.

“If the team don’t get back to track, any player that comes in may just look bad,” he said.

“We need a disciplined coach who plays with the system. Not even a new player right now. We’re having quality players right, they just need to be disciplined.”

Robert Wozniak added, “Osimhen isn’t suited for Chelsea. Your pitch is too small and cramped. He needs a big pitch with space. Same reason Mudryk will never succeed for you.”
