Chelsea hero Joe Cole has questioned the decision to allow Romelu Lukaku to leave in the summer.

Chelsea continue to struggle for goals with Lukaku currently on-loan at AS Roma.

Cole said after defeat at home to Brentford: "With Romelu Lukaku, for all of his faults, he was in the door. He was a success at Inter Milan, he scored goals at Everton and West Brom in this country, why couldn't he score goals at Chelsea? What was wrong [with him]?

"He is scoring goals now for Roma. So we have to look within ourselves, what is wrong with this club at the moment? I don't blame the manager one bit. Him and his staff are doing everything they can and I don't even blame the players. They are all top players.

"The squad is unbalanced, but there is something wrong fundamentally with the club at the moment. You here all the buzz words around the club but at the end of the day, we can't score goals."
