I don't get how people can blame Malouda? its almost certainly the fault of the club. From what i see he's more than happy to contribute to the first team but is not wanted or used. That's fine and so he continues to train and behave with dignity and class. At no point have I heard that he has refused to play, turned up late to training or insulted any person within the club. Why should he just give up a nice contract and leave to save the Russian a few quid.
