The former Blues star, who is now back at Stamford Bridge as a youth coach, believes there benefits to be found in not being able to sign new players
Joe Cole sees benefits to Chelsea’s two-window transfer ban, with the “opportunity” having presented itself for the Blues to try something different under new boss Frank Lampard.
A club legend returned to Stamford Bridge in a managerial capacity this summer fully aware that his hands would be tied in the recruitment market.
He has been able to turn Mateo Kovacic’s loan from Real Madrid into a permanent deal and welcome Christian Pulisic onto his books after seeing a deal for the United States international agreed in January.
