OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Looking back at a few of those comments of people saying they didn't think Anelka would be good enough for us but he was quality. Him and Dider in 09/10 were unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It seems Anelka isn't liked in China - Anelka argues with angry fan after Shanghai Shenhua lose againHopefully Drogba will do better. He should become their captain, Anelka will never be skipper material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRonaldo 55 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Nine straight games without a goal in China, but he already insulted some fans.Anelka will always be Anelka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Wonder why there is no topic for him. Truely one player that should be mentioned within this forum section.Probably one of the players with a more complicated relationship with the fans, but certainly a very good player for us, well most of the times. An instinctive finisher, selfless as well, worked wonders together with Drogba upfront.This whole story with him and Alex being sent to the reserves feels like ages ago. In my opinion not a good way to treat players.Anyway, here is a little reminder of what he did for us. Was instrumental keeping us in any sort of position in the Scolari/Hiddink conundrum of a season: sorry, just relised there is a topic for him. my bad, mods, delet this then.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks like someone is upset and jealous because they were sold before we won the CL an Fa Cuphttp://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2880/england/2012/10/15/3450764/anelka-claims-chelsea-dispose-of-players-over-30?source=breakingnews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well, what can you do when they're better and younger players out there?True but supposed you can understand his frustration and anger given how he was treated and pushed out of the club after having achieved and done so much for us.

He could have stayed if he'd wanted, but handed in a TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 What Nico said is right, we have a stupid 30s plus contract policy. We try to shove players out too quickly just to reduce the squad age. Rmpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try to shove players out too quickly just to reduce the squad age.Completely ignoring the fact that these players start to decline as they reach 30, offering them longer contracts - which they of course want - leaves you stuck with them even when they're clearly not good enough anymore.1 year contracts allows the club to protect themselves, and not have to pay wages to a player that isn't needed.

We try to shove players out too quickly just to reduce the squad age.Because we have learned from our past mistakes, back in the 00's we were far too sentimental, which led to our squad stagnating and hitting stupid level's of lethargicness late 2010. Is Anelka saying we should have stuck with him, Malouda and the rest for the next 10 years out of gratitudefor what they did in the double season?Given the age of most of our starters this time two years ago, i wonder if Anelka is on drugs.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Didnt mean all of the 30 plus players, Ash, Drog, Ballack and a few others should of got 2 year deals. Said Ash there because its likely he wants 2 years rather than 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
