Raheem Sterling named 22-year-old the funniest player

  

The Blues have been terrible all season long and many of their players aren’t playing with smiles on their faces at the moment.

It’s so hard to keep the dressing room happy when you’re playing so poorly, and to make matters worse, it sounds as though one of the best influences in the Chelsea squad has just left.

Indeed, according to Raheem Sterling, speaking to StatSports, Armando Broja was actually the funniest player at Chelsea, but now, he’s just gone on loan to Fulham.

Armando Broja the funniest player at Chelsea

Sterling spoke about the Fulham loanee.

“Funniest teammate in the dressing room at the minute,” Sterling was asked.

“Armando, but he’s just left, but he’s definitely,” Sterling said.

Armando Broja may not have been Chelsea’s most important player this season, but if he was a good influence in the dressing room, perhaps Chelsea should’ve kept him around.

We’ve heard so often over the past 12 months the issues Chelsea’s players are having behind the scenes, and a player like Broja who can make people laugh and be friendly would’ve been a good distraction from the many problems at the club at the moment.

However, in all of their wisdom, Chelsea decided to let Broja go on loan in January, and these issues behind the scenes persist.

Don’t get us wrong, we’re not going to pretend as though Broja cracking a few jokes or playing a few pranks will solve every problem at Stamford Bridge, but having a player around the team who will keep the mood lighter and put a few smiles on a few faces is valuable.

Chelsea need to figure out how to improve on the pitch, and they also need to figure out how to make the squad bond behind the scenes.
