funny, was justing writing a massive post about this and my ****ing internet explorer randomly shut off!!!!
Basically I feel sorry for Charlton and Alan Curbishley. I mean £10million is A LOT for a player that has only had two seasons of top flight at a young age. But he HAS been passing and talking at Roy Keane level according to Opta, so eye brows have to raise when that sort of statistic is thrown at you.
Charlton have worked hard to get where they are. They have go there because of players hitting good form together. Breaking up that unit and loosing one of there best players is damaging. Scott Parker has been with Charlton for 10 YEARS! Surely the loyalty they showed in him should of justified a wait til the end of the season before a move. Apparently he has been made dizzy with this Chelease talk and became useless in training with Charlton as thats all he could think about. well, after many games on the sub bench at Chelsea, will he still be so happy about the move?
Hmm..
I feel sorry for Joe Cole as well. I mean he was at first used as bate for Parker! I mean christ! after a few months of being at your new club and finding that after every 60 mins you play your being subbed, hearing this would piss you off. But surely Parker has to read in to that. Chelsea have 15 MIDFIELD PLAYERS. Thats an home midfield team, an away midfield team and a midfield team for sunday best!
Crazy...
Parker will be a big player and I've wished that Newcastel would of picked up on this last season as a low bid of £3million would of seen a good move. But as Chelsea are willing to go higher and higher to get there man, it becomes a game of not "how much is this player worth?" but "how much can we fleece off Chelsea..." and too bloody right, share the wealth init.
