I think he is overrated! A walking red card is a close description.

If I was an opposition player and he was on the pitch I’d be rubbing my hands with glee and winding him up till the cows come home. Zero discipline

If I was an opposition player and he was on the pitch I’d be rubbing my hands with glee and winding him up till the cows come home. Zero discipline Four red cards in 171 appearances. By my reckoning you’d have been wasting your time for 167 games.or 98% of the time.

Arse fans utterly hate him. They slag him off every game.
I think he might have fitted into our system well back then. He's always exposed in that Arse team which why he is constantly getting caught. Might have done well for us.

That’s quite a lot and he should have had more Yes it is but dare say not all four were a result of ‘players winding him up’. Also wonder just how many our heroes such as Smithy and Pej would have earned had they been playing today?

No actually he has decent ability but decides a football pitch is the best place to display his fuckwittery

As an aside, the players Hughes wanted, a lot went on to be super stars, its unfortunate he didnt land more, and we ended up with the shit that he did get over the line, if just 20% of the A list players (that we could afford) landed i have no doubt we would have been in europe again and still very much part of the furniture in the Premier League. As it is we went hell bend on Berahino, Wimmer, Imbula, Eric 10 names and an fucking wanker of a spanish dr dre wanna be.

He was really good at Leipzig but he seems like a different player at Chelsea. 78 goals in 127 games for Leipzig, played more as a wide attacker there too. Chelsea don't seem to know where to play him and all confidence in front of goal has gone?

Also wonder just how many our heroes such as Smithy and Pej would have earned had they been playing today? I am confident they would have adapted to the modern game. In their day tackles from behind were legal, so they would learnt to tackle from the side. Their biggest attribute was a total fearless approach to defending, especially big Den who would tackle with head first if necessary. Pej would have also made a great wingback - in those days they were called overlapping full backs but the concept was the same. Pej’s other role was to protect TC by knocking the oppositions right back into the paddock if they messed with him.
