Yuri Zhirkov

[Jose M 140]

Yuri doesnt once say He wants to leave in that article. He's just state-ing that if He doesnt get started enough Heks going to have to consider moving as he's a quality player!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Chelsea allowed Zhirkov to seek his own treatment in Germany last month after little progress in treating his achilles inury and specialists discovered the problem actually lay in his hip.

No..fucking..way

No..fucking..way

If true this is scandalous. Even Arsenal's medics haven't failed like that.

[True_Blue 469]

Our medical staff is hopeless

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He did more in five minutes than Malouda did in the whole second half

[Ollie 4,400]

He should play a lot more than he does. Either as a winger in a 3 or in a 4-4-2, he should play the majority of games. Has great ability and can beat players.

[Kostas 1,468]

I've always had the feeling he didn't "click" with the rest of the team, its like the chemistry is missing. Even tonight you could see Ashely Cole ignoring him despite Zhirkov having a good position and later on he went on by himself despite Drogba literally asking for the ball. I've always believed in his talent and he was quite good last year but it's like his not playing for the team and the team isn't playing for him.

I think if Carlo is to stick with the 4-4-2 we saw today, then no doubt Zhirkov is to be featured over Malouda.

Could it be due to his inability to communicate? Is he able to speak English now?

Anyway... the same sort of goes for Torres... Torres seems to be a magnet for defenders. gives anelka chances to score more easily...

It's Daily Mail ppl. When same news appear on SSN or BBC website I will believe, rignt now it's just paper talk.

I think he took part in one of the press conferences ahead of the Spartak games and his English was actually decent. It looks mostly football related to me.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I agree with you Kostas. I've never voiced that, but I absolutely notice that. He seems to lack the ability to function in this side - though in fairness, it has been very difficult for him due to consistent injury. That being said, he impressed me between February and April last year.

[quinner 9]

Hopefully he gets a chance..very underated & skillful player!!

[steve5221 91]

Seems to be a confidence type player and being in and out of the side does not help. At least give him the same chances as Malouda

Should we let him go, or let him try to fight his way back to the main team?.

[zagger 47]

I think he should stay. He is a good substitute, he can replace Malouda and Ash. IMHO he is better thank Malouda, I hope he'll stay.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Dude, there's is already a Zhirkov thread.
