Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 ah come on guys..they can`t be footballers AND Mother Theresa.....they are only mere mortals not immortal saints on earth to save the worlds children.Drogba can be a sulky stereotypical french twunt on times...arguably cost us a CL title and shamed a fair few Chelsea fans with his tantrum in the globally watched title winning game last season...but i`m sure there`s not one Chelsea fan who would say we don`t want him because of it.

BLionheart 516 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think any professional footballer who acts that way should be left to rot in the reserves; there are millions of fans out there who would play for their club for free and put in 110% more effort than wasters such as Mascherano, who really are an embarrassment to the modern day breed of professional footballers.well , you never know !!!!! we all have seen how much torres was faithful for A.Madrid but at the end of the day he moved on ... also henry with arsenal as well as faberegas and rooney those are all great players who were very faithful to their old clubs.but he is football player not a stoke city property so it's only fair for him to decide what is gonna do with his life as long as his club are getting paid a reasonable fee .even if u think a lot of fans will give 110% for stoke i bet that after two years if they received an offer from man utd , barca , real or chelsea coming in with bags of money .... may be they will change their mind .i mean no one will ever just put his club before himself as a priority may be he can do that for 1 or 2 years but no more .

Mart 29 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 He made the decision of what to do in his life by signing a contract for X many years. He made his decision, he can't expect to be able to just decide to leave.He can ask the club but if they say no it is tough luck, get on with it and be more sensible next time you sign a contract somewhere.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'd seen him play once, that was it. Didn't really think that much of him Then I saw him play at Euro 2004 and I was in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Also....Had anyone really heard of Petr Cech before we signed him ?I did! He kept letting in goals for Stade Rennais, suddenly, in his first season, he was... well, the rest is history to be honest :eyebrows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,963 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Also....Had anyone really heard of Petr Cech before we signed him ?Definitely! Remember his first game in the Champions League, Bayern Munich v Sparta and he kept clean sheet. It was predicted he would end up at a big club and voila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- 25 - 167 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 From SkySportsStoke reject Begovic bidChampions Chelsea make offer for stopper but Stoke refuse to sellStoke Chairman Peter Coates has revealed that the club have rejected a bid from Premier League champions Chelsea for goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. Coates insists that the Potters will not be selling the Bosnian international at any cost and expects the 23-year-old to remain at the Brittania Stadium.Begovic reportedly refused to play in the Carling Cup game against Shrewsbury after being linked with the West London giants.Stoke signed the keeper from Portsmouth and Coates said: "I felt huge disappointment. He's an exceptional young goalkeeper, one of the best in the country."Clubs like Chelsea make enquiries about them and their heads can get turned very easily. It's just bad advice they get given, they shouldn't listen to it but obviously they do."Reports have suggested that Chelsea made an offer in the region of £4.5million for the stopper.Coates said: "You may have heard a rumour and it may be pretty good information, but the fact is we've rejected any offer they've made. They made an enquiry and they did make an offer and it was rejected."Asked if a bigger offer might tempt the club to sell, Coates said: "Silly offers do have an effect on you but nothing like that has happened and we're not expecting it to happen and our position is we see him remaining our goalkeeper."BetrayedMeanwhile, Begovic claims that manager Tony Pulis lied over his refusal to play in the Carling Cup game in midweek.The goalkeeper's agent Will Sherling told the News of the World: "Asmir feels betrayed and let down by the club. He didn't refuse to play against Shrewsbury and anyone who knows him knows he would never do that."In return for 100 per cent commitment all a player asks for is honesty and unfortunately, that's been in short supply for Asmir over the last seven months."

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Why is it that whenever we're bidding for players, we get on the wrong side of everyone! Although I'd say a £7 million + Ross Turnbull sounds like a rather do-able deal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- 25 - 167 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think its crazy spunking £7m on a backup keeper, we could've upped our offer £5m and got Neymar a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Turnball plus a few million seems like a good deal, he is awful and never did really understand how he was transferred to SB anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Has anyone actually seen Begovic perform? I don't mean YouTube videos, but in actual games, we don't actually know if he'll be any better than Turnbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
