Danny Drinkwater

[OhForAGreavsie 5,778]

I feel for Danny and the crappy turn his professional life has taken. When recruiting him, Chelsea must have made a convincing case that there was a role for him as an active member of our squad. There clearly isn't, and never really was. We've let him down and I hope that we'll help him find a move in summer whether permanent or temporary. But, but but..

There is no excise whatsoever for drink driving and putting other people at risk. None. How would you feel if anyone who, "thought they were OK" caused harm to a young kid you know? It's totally irresponsible to endager other people. Danny, mate, irrespective of the bad situation at the moment, you still have a dream job with lots of benefits for your health, and a salary which is equivillent to winning the lottery, year after year. You can afford an Uber even if you're travelling from one end of the country to the other. So what if there's a risk of emabarrasment if it comes out that you might have been drinking when you shouldn't?

The article I've read doesn't say if this is a first offence or not. Hopefully it is and it will also be the last. At the very least there's likely to be a big fine. However much it is Danny, I hope you'll publically make a matching donation to a group working on drink drive awareness. I know this post sounds preachy. It is preachy, I can't deny it. I did this foolish thing once, when i was probably a lot more over the limit than you were. Very, very, luckily, I got home without hurting anyone or myself. Everytime I think about how I might have ruined someone's life that night, I feel like an absolute w*****. I was probably about your age when it happened. I had a partner and a young baby who depended on me. I should have known better and so should you.

Just great. Why did we give him so mich wages in the first place? He would have joined for half of that as well I am sure. Lets hope we can make some use of him. He actually was a pretty good player at Leicester. Lost his mojo completely here tho. But we are so loaded with more talented mids, i honestly hope he never steps on the pitch for us again. Maybe he can be a sub in the development squad...

Just like Sarri he will never get involve in any game during the season...

If it was a throw up between him and Bakayoko okay fair enough but if not, fuck knows what is going on.

[MoroccanBlue 5,234]

Wishful thinking to expect him to just leave. He’s under contract and is getting paid handsomely. Undeserved yes, but who’s at fault for giving him such a ludacrus contract? The club for yet again poor long term planning. Tie down a Conte type player. Sack Conte 

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Drinky was never fucking good enough for us anyway, just another last sec buy on immense wages. Who in their right mind would go for him? Not even low tier PL Clubs would be that stupid. He has nothing to offer as mean as that sounds. JUst another fuck up by the iron lady herself......now we are stuck with him, fuck marina is all I say. And dont tell me " but it was a Conte buy " cuz he wasnt. He was a last min transfer out of utter desperation.

[OneMoSalah 8,642]

Also regardless of his situation here, I am starting to doubt he was even a Conte buy. Conte already had the likes of Kante, Cesc, Bakayoko, even Ampadu in MF and maybe if the club listened to him, Matic would of stayed and they wouldnt have panicked and felt the need to sign Drinkwater. 

[NikkiCFC 7,661]

How is it possible nobody wants him? What about Bakayoko?

no, it was Marina

Conte said Donkeywater was not who he wanted

Conte had a fit when Matic left, like Sarri did with Cesc

we should have snatched up Corentin Tolisso

yet another huge cock-up

Drinkwater wasn't but the other signings that window were.

I read Conte was the reason the Tolisso transfer didn’t go through.

Tbf Tolisso has looked bang average whenever on the pitch for Bayern. he has been wrecked by injury tho

Was really good for Lyon though. Proper all rounder. Not quite worked at Bayern maybe but think it was a shit move for him too with Thiago, Martinez, Vidal, Rudy and Kimmich there at the time (although Kimmich has played RB more genuinely think he is more than capable of starting for Bayern in MF though) and now, Goretzka and Sanches there too, although Rudy and Vidal arent.

Drinkwater as turn into Winston Bogarde he's just happy picking up his wages than moving to another club
