Wow, newspapers printing bullshit. Yeah, that only happens with Chelsea. You do realise this is also being used by players agents to get signed/a better contract or whatever when there is absolutly no interest from Chelsea.

But you're right, it's all Chelsea's fault.

And i dont know how you can talk about Shaun Wright-Phillips as thats another player youve literally ****ed up by not having any chance to play. When he comes on he's one of the players with flair and energy and normally creates a chance for himself and one for someone else in a very short space of time. Now if he was playing for Arsenal (Heaven Forbid) or even somewhere like Bolton/Villa/Newcastle he'd be an instant regular, be 1st team for England and who knows what he could achieve.

Not to sound flippant but he knew what he was doing when he signed up. It was obvious that his chances of playing were gonig to be limited (he was automatically 4th choice at the time) so he either signed for money (which was his own choice so I have no sympathy) or he thought he could play his way into the team (like Joe Cole did), in which case good luck to him and in a couple of years he might make it.

For a large part of this season we have had Robben on the bench because the midfield is that good and he vastly superior to SWP in every way. So you can moan about how this effects Englands (illusionary) chances of doing anything romotely sucessful but at the end of the day it's all down to SWP.

If you're good enough you'll play and he just isn't good enough.

Now on to being ripped off... Andriy Shevchenko. Doesnt start off very well so he's cut from the side, relegated to the bench and soon he'l be out of the club.

He's had half the season so far and not been worth £30 million. Robben is playing far better and deserves to be in the side so it makes sense for him to be dropped. You can't expect to be gauranteed a place on reputation alone. If he finds some and form or starts scoring goals he will be back in the side.

Look at Real Madrid, that's what happens when reputation is more important than form.

Now i wouldnt be surprised to see Luca Toni or Torres come in for Chelsea in January. Just because you simply have a ridiculous amount of money that no team can match.

Of course he won't, there is no precedent for such a comment. We have a good reputation for giving strikers firing blanks plenty of chances. Kesman anyone?

Man Utd spent everything that had for Wayne Rooney who only now is coming really good, Chelsea spent that much on Sheva and will do it again in January/Next summer probably twice.

Oh boohoo, poor Man U, shall we pass around the collection plate.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy came to Man Utd and didnt score for like 11 games or something, Sheva has had 9 starts or something similar i believe and has scored and now he's cut? Shows how much of a prick Mourinho truly is.

Yes, that goal against Newcastle in the Carling Cup. He should get wold player of the year for that.

From the moment he first put on a United shirt Ruud Van Nistelrooy couldn't stop scoring. After scoring in pre-season friendlies and the Charity Shield clash with Liverpool it quickly became obvious United had got a striker of the highest quality in world football.

In his Old Trafford debut he got two against Fulham, goals followed against Newcastle, Spurs then a double at home to Deportivo. Ruud got his first hat-trick for the reds at home to Southampton in the 6-1 win as well as scoring twice against Boavista, Spurs, Sunderland. Vital goals also came in European away trips to Bayern Munich and Deportivo. A highlight was the FA Cup 3rd Round tie away to Aston Villa. With United 2-0 down, Van Nistelrooy came off the bench to score twice in two minutes and seal a memorable 3-2 victory.

If Sheva had done that then he would be in the side. Simple as.
