Chelsea is really an idiat club. Look how arsenal handled the reyes, cole situation and how unno dealing with it... hurry come up club.

[Balla]

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

Typical

Do you hear cole, reyes or who ever slanging off their former club and manager ?

I think this needed to be brought to light - Cole was willing to play for Arsenal, he made himself available compare that to threats of an own goal

The hurry come up thing is stupid , did Arsenal start at the top , did Man U , every record as to start somewhere

It seem to be that Gallas started this crap before Jose and his promise of reserve football , you saw where they said he didnt want to play against Liverpool in the FA cup semi?

Well Cole's book is coming out, lets see how Arsenal handles that

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

I think your manager talks too much and your president or chaiman loves divulge too much. Its the new money thing, why I call you guys hurry come up. You got a palyer you wanted in cole and loss one who did not want to be there. So move on.. dont sully the man reputation by saying he theathen to score own goal. I dont know one balla who would even do that in a scrimmage in a family picnic. What next will Jose call him a slave too.... There is a pattern with chesea.. almshouse..

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

Face facts, balla - Chelsea has just sunk to a new low!

Think on it - What purpose Chelsea's 'public relations job' on Galla serves?

[Courtney]

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

aaaaahhhh bwoy .

yuh really support this stupid behavior , the baller gone move on . What is this supposed to achieve ???

If he counters and the counter starts a tracing match who yuh think will lose ?? Brand Chelsea or Baller Gallas ??

Reeks of unproffesionalism if you ASK ME .

[Balla]

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

expected from you

tell the baller to move on

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

It seems you would agree with France's treatment of Makelele, characterized as that of a slave by your manager)if the baller considered or resorted to undermining that country...

The Gallas matter suggests Mourinho is protecting the interest of Chelsea, with the cruelty of slavery taking a backseat.

There is likely nothing altruistic or cosmopolitan about Mourinho's reference to slave in the Makelele matter, and Gallas'(perceived)follies are reactions to not being allowed freedom.

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

this site have some of the most remarkable posters

do you understand the concept of a contact?

Do national players sign contacts?

[Gamma]

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

i think gallas has denied those claims refusing to play against liverpool and the own goal threat. do you think the "slavery" comment was appropriate?

irrespective of it's appropriateness how can mourinho use that term in those circumstances and NOT expect it to raise a heated debate?

[Rockman]

RE: Have your say - Chelsea v Galla

I remember being taught two types of contracts, oral and written, I do not know if our boyz actually sign some document but I know they have a binding agreement;they CAN"T play for another country.

I guess the get out of clause is what is of interest, in light of France seemingly winning the battle..., it seems favorable to the country, besides Gallas seems to be successful in his bid for freedom.

Makelele wants to retire..but wishes to stay and compete at one of the most competitive clubs.

France want to burn the baller out!
