"GARBAGE!" Simon Jordan's PASSIONATE OUTBURST about Raheem Sterling as PFA query Chelsea's conduct!

Enzo Maresca's comments about the so-called bomb squad at Chelsea have raised a few eyebrows as well. Who's lost more perspective regarding bomb squads? Bomb squads are players who don't train with the first team, who for whatever reason are isolated from the first team and the first team's squad. So who has lost more perspective regarding bomb squads? The players involved, the PFA or the clubs for allowing it to happen? Last week at Chelsea of course the PFA contacted Chelsea over Raheem Sterling and Axel Desassi being forced to train away from the first team squad and then in the evening, training in the evening at the club's Cobham training ground. In addition to that Sterling and Desassi made to eat separately from the squad which the PFA claims could constitute abusive conduct by the club and Sterling had posted a picture on Instagram showing him going to training under floodlights with the time showing 8 21 p.m sending a message out of some sort by doing that. Enzo Maresca was asked about this bomb squad situation and this is how he answered it. My father is 75 years old and for 50 years he has been fisherman working for two o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock in the morning. This is hard in life, not a player the way they work. I've been in Raheem's situation and Axel's situation as a player and for sure I know that is not the best feeling for a player because if you are a player that means that you want to train and play a game and then for different reasons the situation is the situation that is in this moment and I know that the club is giving them the opportunity to work in the right way and this is the only thing I can say but it's not just Chelsea it's any club in the world I can promise you Italy, Spain, England, France, USA, Brazil any club in the world when for any reason the player and the club doesn't find any solution you give the player all the tools to do training session and to do everything but if you are not involved in the squad. So when it comes to players like Sterling and De Sassi having it tough being members of the bomb squad Simon Enzo's basically saying oh don't give me that what about my dad 75 years old 50 years he's been a fisherman working from two in the morning till 10 in the morning that's tough the message from Enzo is these guys ain't got it tough. Well yeah I mean it's an easy way to go to because the average man in the street would go of course look what these kids are getting and look what they get and they shouldn't even begin to talk about hardship you know the appalling nature of the PFA just appalls me they have nothing to say about their I mean first of all I would have ignored them completely I'm sure Chelsea will do you know the PFA about troublesome was a cloudy day and relevant as well I mean coming in and talking about what our players doing Chelsea know the responsibility for the 50 million pound asset that they bought and the 15 million pounds a year that they pay in his wages they'll know what they can and can't do they don't need this ridiculous union to pop over nothing to say about ESAC nothing to say about players that you just don't like the PFA either I think they're a disgrace you don't like you I think that I think they're a disgrace I think they're a disgrace over the well-being of footballers in terms of what they did with Dawn Astle and Jeff Astle and a whole raft of other players I think they were a disgrace when they made a separate issue personal vanity project for Gordon Taylor I think their chief executive is weak and I think this examples it but the fact of the matter is is it abusive conduct of course it's not how's it abusive who who defines what abusive contact is the contractual obligations for Chelsea are is to provide the player of a sporting chance ask you put all of this to let me ask you what the players done wrong not been good enough how do we know that because the coach says so so they can't even eat with the other players well that's because they're training a different that's because you guys go way over there and train not with the first team squad in fact not now later tonight head over there so what I mean are we seriously just for the purpose of making this an interesting conversation are we seriously debating whether a player that's going to train for a couple of hours a day for let's work it out let's work it out what's that five days a week 75,000 pounds a week uh no 100,000 pound a week we're talking about 60,000 pound a day all right we're going to turn around and say that it's the hardship for them to train in the evening and their ridiculous agents are going to pop up and say well Chelsea weren't facilitary and let the play out the door the players on their books are 12 million quid there would have been a deal done the player would if you've got to ask yourself why is the player in this position stop looking at what other people are doing start looking at what the player's done why is the player in such a position who put himself in that position the player in his performance well it's even better than Simon because I've it's not always about why you're in the position it's how you know no no let me finish I've been in I've been in a bomb squad right I've been there and it wasn't my fault right no it wasn't I can tell you so what did you do to find yourself in the bomb squad I told the lie oh what did I do I fell out with curbs at Charlton because he tried to sell me a bun to my nose and I found out about it right anyway that's not the point it doesn't matter you still got to conduct yourself in the right way and understand your position you got to keep yourself fit keep yourself going shut up not whinge about it and try and get out it's your it's on you like you can't there's no there's no hardship in it other than it's a bit you don't have the banter with the lads because you don't see them or you might have to eat with a couple of the young boys or whatever it's not the end of the world it's fine it's temporary you know comes January because Arsene Sterling will find an exit route because they'll get sick of doing this and you've just got to get well you're right I mean the club reportedly have allocated a coach to the two of them with the aim of keeping them fit so they're in a position to secure transfers which benefits the club well there's the club's job done isn't it so why do we have to listen to a union and probably some idiot agent popping up with the fact that it's some sort of hardship on the player why do we actually have to listen to this but there is that's why I make the club's meeting an example of no they're not the only thing I'd say making an example of them because they're not fit for purpose he's not fit for purpose I'll tell you why I'll tell you why most managers don't want players who aren't involved around the others because they feel like they're cancerous and they tend to be they can be I think I've been in situations as somebody in this position and also seen other players in it I actually think at times if you if you are a good leader and you communicate well so my position for example I remember having this problem as well at Blackburn in my last year of my career and the manager didn't want me with the lads but I was actually understood his predicament I was like I just want to train but this generation of footballer cannot take any kind of criticism can't take any kind of pushback we've got a media that constantly or a fan base that constantly suggests that people have got to be looked at in a certain way this this whole frame this whole framework of a conversation is absurd it's absurd it's a club blameless in this why give them a five-year deal because you thought the player was going to be worth it and you took a punt on it and you paid 50 million pounds for him and 15 million pounds a season for him to do his job and they're paying for that and he didn't do it so they put him out on loan to Arsenal and he did nothing there so you look at it and say why is there no why is there no desire if someone said so if someone said we'll give Raheem Sterling to you on a free transfer for 10 grand a week they'll be loaded buyers so it becomes about what it costs everybody to be able to make the equation work and the reality of it is have Chelsea fulfilled their obligations they bought the player they've played the player and they've paid the player has the player fulfilled his no and now we've got to listen to this garbage I do agree whether it whether it's well it's his well-being whether he's training he took a knocker whether it's preposterous no I do agree I do agree but there is there is a a caveat to where you think for the sake of two players Desarzi and Sterling if you're the manager and you have a chat with them and they understand their predicament they're okay with it just let them join you with the lads it's not going to be a drama exactly you know if there's five or six fine it's too many and I know your training set up is this necessary that's a basic question if I do these lengths is this necessary if I was a coach I'd like to think I had the emotional intelligence to deal with two players they they know what lengths are they going to as I've explained what they have isolating them making them train at night I don't think so you're so basically you're not having to do your primary function which is actually play you're getting paid 300,000 pound a week to rock up a training ground for a couple of hours a day and go back home again and we're saying that's length are we wow I hope these players never get any real hardship then that's why you've got no character no resilience and no substance in society jim white and simon jordan monday to friday mornings from 10 on am on dav via the talk sport app and on your smart speaker talk sport
