Baffles me Essentially you were allowed to name your European squad on the bench last night. Drinky was not named in any Chelsea squad this season. End of thread. After all this shouldn't come as a shock as original squads were named in August last year

SystonFox Posted 30 May 2019 Posted 30 May 2019 So many steal a living and I’m not talking drinkwater or Andy king. look at the drivel we’ve signed in the last few years. Then we’ve apparebtly got rashford about to be offered 350k per week and lingard on 140k per week. Wow just wow
foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 May 2019 Posted 30 May 2019 Sanchez has been stealing a living for the last few years... happy to do nothing and just collect 600k a week

What’s to be unhappy about? He can either take an obscene amount of money every week to play FIFA and watch TV, or he can request a transfer. Not really ‘Sophie’s choice’
Koke Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Drinkwater, my least favourite title winner. I struggled hard to warm to him. Not really bothered about his non existent playing career atm.

Phube Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Just heard that Ross McCormack (he who was bummed out at Villa for not going to training because his front gates wouldn’t open - and has been out on loan ever since to Australia!) will now collect £70k a week because Villa were promoted! Not bad if you can get it!

But lets face it he has sat on that contract he was given big time when he should have moved on. Fair play to King.. League 1, Championship and Premiership titles. What else is he going to do? hes already massively over achieved he deserves a cigar and slippers for rest of his career.. i would have done the same as there must be absolutely no drive to do anything else with his playing career.

You’re still really rich either way! call me crazy I’d rather experience playing a game I loved in front for thousands of people each week…. And then have the memories and stories for the grandchildren! i enjoy my job (most of the time) and never take it for granted…. I have also experienced periods of my career where I have earned more , but, been bored and frustrated…. I know which I’d rather do!

Baffles me I think you view on Drinky is a little harsh. Why would he not go and double his wage. They came in for him obviously things have changed and he's been injured. I'm sure Drinky would rather be playing but Chelsea put him on a wage no one can afford. Just like we've fvcked ourselves with slim and Silva. Would you move for half the money?
davieG Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Maybe a thread on "Clubs that collect players" would be more appropriate. If you sign for a club and they don't play you it's hardly your fault unless you're not putting in the effort.

If you sign for a club and they don't play you it's hardly your fault unless you're not putting in the effort. Chelsea would win that accolade.. It's quite pure greed of them to keep many youngsters under their noses (around 30 out on loan?) with many unlikely to feature for their own first-team at all.

Baffles me Ignoring the specific example you gave as others have covered that. Why should it matter if a player is moving exclusively for money? There are plenty of footballers who don't actually enjoy their profession that much - Danny Rose being the prime example, but there will be plenty of others - so why shouldn't they aim to maximise their salaries wherever possible, even if that means reduced play-time?

Can you believe Sanchez has more assists than Ozil this season.

Wow just wow Not checked myself I seen on Twitter that Josh King has out scored Rashford the last 4 seasons and Trent alexander-Arnold got more assists last season then lingard has in his entire premier league career

Find that difficult to understand personally, absolutely love each one of the players that won us the title, especially the XI that started most games.
