MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So you are saying he left on his own?Yes because we didn't offer him 2 years he wanted, Drogba all over again basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 One of footballs best unkept secrets. When he came over to us at the end of the Cardiff game , it was obvious it adios Ashley.I do think theres more to this than meets the eye, and will be in the inevitable book when he retires.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'm guessing he was offered a contract from Chelsea but he probably has much better options on the table as well. My guess is that he goes to Monaco or makes a u-turn and accepts what Chelsea offered. He could go to a weak league but I don't think he's fallen off that much yet.

iseah100 5,612 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So you are saying he left on his own?I'm saying they lowballed Cole, and he thought best to seek other adventures. He was mistreated this season. Can't disagree with him. As for the club, they thought best to replace an aging leftback, can't really blame them either. bushman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The right move for both parties. Cole is still good enough to play very good LB for someone but just not at Chelsea level anymore. I'd be surprised if Aziplicueta is the starter there next year though. He had a very good year as an extremely defensive player in an extremely defensive system but if we want to improve, Chelsea need to get a LB who can offer more in the attack as well. I'd be shocked if we don't buy a left back. The Skipper and Eden2020 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I also don't get the Lampard comparisons. Lamps had a better season than Ash did.Spot on. Lamps held together that midfield at points in the season, mainly before we signed Matic. If you look at our defenders then we have a very nice spread of ages from older guys like JT (33) to guys in their prime (Cahill, Ivanovic) to guys approaching their prime (Azpi) to young guns (Ake, Kalas, Zouma). That simply isn't the case in midfield and there's also the point that Lamps could be a coach too. kc_blue and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been used more, it's a shame he wasn't. But Azpi was better defensively and Mou wanted a defensive team. I hope he can still perform at a top level and win some trophies, not at the expense of Chelsea, obviously , but I think it was the right move for both parties involved. Still sad about it though.

Maybe a factor but I am sure he also doesn't want to start once every 3 months when he could be playing every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Can't see him going to the states. He can still perform at a top European level. You can hardly find a team in Europe who wouldn't want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
