Share Posted October 15, 2012 Was it cold? or were they just not rolling over for contract demands any more?Not letting them park at Cobham and not letting them eat with the other players is pretty cold, imo.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not letting them park at Cobham and not letting them eat with the other players is pretty cold, imo.That bit agreed, but were they really that cold in contract talks? All the players that have departed had an offer on the table but they wanted longer or more money, in some cases both. The same will be the case with Cole and Lamps, there will be an offer on the table for them, whether they accept it is another kettle of fish.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 There's nothing wrong with the club's policy on contracts for players who're 30+...That being said, players like Alex, Anelka and Malouda could have been treated much better. I don't remember Ballack or Drogba being dumped in the reserves during their last few days at the club. Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Nico is talking about the cold treatment. Ballack also said something about the club being cold when he wasn't wanted anymore, Alex too. The club should deal with the players in a respectful manner in such matters.Indeed. I was disappointed on how the club treated nico, they could've at least gave him 2 minutes on the pitch as a farewell game to the fans. He was nothing but a professional during his time here and scored many vital goals for us. Jase, Muzchap, Kieran. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo talks Blue 85 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 When the players get older Chelsea starts treating him bad. If so then why weren't Didi or Ballack treated that way. (Not that I wanted them to ) But compared to the way Anelka has played for Chelsea and scored those massive goals, he deserved to be treated with huge respect but he got the total opposite during his last couple of days. Now that's a shame. A big club like Chelsea should know how to treat players. They should've given him the same amount of importance as much as he got when he was bought by the club.

Manuf 1,448 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wasn't he banned at the first team for contacting with other clubs and putting a transfer request? If so, why should we treat him like a hero when all he cared about was his own ass. CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I still think AVB did the right thing. Anelka put in a transfer request which means his mind was not 100% with the team anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anelka put in a transfer request which means his mind was not 100% with the team anymore.I agree, I think Anelka moving on was a good thing for Chelsea FC, when you look at the bigger picture. We needed an injection of talented youth into our first team and that's exactly what we got in the form of Hazard, Oscar, Moses, KdB, Romeu..

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Don't see anything wrong with Malouda's treatment. He had the chance to leave but decided to stay for the money.You mean the club wanted him to get out. The club was letting Malouda know their intentions by dumping him in the reserves, but there are better ways to treat someone who has contributed to the trophy haul. It was after all the club's decision to even let him stay this long with that contract extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I just fail to see Anelka' reasoning behind the "we forget about players when their over 30 statement, why? because we don't offer them long term deals with pay rises, boo hoo.One year contract's are more than fair when you get to your twilight years, its all Giggs and Scholes get's offered, the only difference between them and our players is they actually accept that fact.

Tacticalpanic 17 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 i dont get why we have gone from one exstreme to the next , from a team full of over 30 players to getting rid of all of them , the best players that are 30 or over and still puting in the perforances should get there rewards regardless of age within reson. Lampards 34 and doesint really fit our new system very well , so a 1 year exstention makes sence , what doesint make sence is offering just a 1 year deal to ashely cole.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Don't really care if Anelka comes back to the PL. It's not like Drogba, Anelka has already played with Bolton, Arsenal, City, and even with Liverpool. Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
