Nicolas Anelka

[Buffalo talks Blue 85]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don't see anything wrong with Malouda's treatment. He had the chance to leave but decided to stay for the money.

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..

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.

[Tomo 21,751]

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.

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.

The image was very disturbing

[Tomo 21,751]

How's he getting on in Shanhai?

It's Anelka?

Maybe, he is Muslim after all. Chances are he's pro-Palestine.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's being linked with a move to West Ham, I hope it's not true.
