Former Chelsea player Noni Madueke has fired shots at his former employers over at Stamford Bridge after leaving the club.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Madueke left to join Chelsea\u2019s London rivals Arsenal last summer, but to be honest at the time, not too many Chelsea fans were that bothered about it.<\/p>\n

Madueke is not a needle mover, despite being a pretty decent player on his day. He can also be very inconsistent though, and no Chelsea fans were particularly bothered about losing him, even if it was to a rival.<\/p>\n

The bad thing about it is that due to our terrible ownership, we didn\u2019t improve on Madueke with new winger signings other than Estevao. But in terms of quality, we can certainly do better than him if we had smart recruiters.<\/p>\n

Anyways, Madueke left to win trophies, and he\u2019s going to do that it seems, so the last laugh is with him anyway I guess!<\/p>\n

Madueke told Sky Sports this weekend in quotes relayed on X:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just believed Arsenal were going to win trophies so that\u2019s why I moved (from Chelsea).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t blame him. Arsenal were much better off than Chelsea were at that time, and still very much are now too. At least in terms of winning things.<\/p>\n
