Berekum Chelseaââ¬â¢s General Manager Oduro Sarfo says the club will no longer be signing ââ¬Ëoldââ¬â¢ players due to their bad influence on the younger ones.
The Blues have been over the years a safe haven for several Ghanaian players who failed to cut it abroad and are looking for a platform to relaunch their careers.
Players such as Baba Adamu Amando, Charles Taylor are some of the notable spectacular failures of Chelseaââ¬â¢s then-model to attach experience to their squad which often came with heavy financial commitments.
But the clubââ¬â¢s general manager says this policy has been abandon since the ââ¬Ëoldââ¬â¢ players turn to have a bad influence on the budding ones they look to bring through.
ââ¬ÅThere are a lot of young boys all around with bright futures in football but these old players come in to influence them with their bad attitudes,â⬠he told Skyy Power FM.
ââ¬ÅThis is very bad. Instead of the players to guide the young ones, they turn themselves into rebel leaders and start dictating to officials. This must stop.
ââ¬ÅChelsea for instance will not be taking that route anymore. The modern day football is for the youth.
ââ¬ÅThe old ones should go into coaching or administration or other areas but not continue to play and badly influence the young ones.ââ¬
Chelsea escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth and will be looking to avoid such a torrid fight in the coming season.
