domrussell reacted to mclovin83 in David Luiz back at ChelseaWell, forcing a move through to a London rival the day before the transfer window closes, 4 days before our opening fixture, in a period where we are restricted with a transfer ban.
To add additional context, this is a player who the club recently bent their stern rules to accommodate, by rewarding him with a new 2 year contract just 3 months ago, despite him being 32.
None of the above is speculation.
The speculation would be him calling in 'sick' for training and having a row with Frank because he was told he would have to fight for his place like everyone else. We won't know the details, but it's pretty damn obvious that we as a club didn't plan for it to play out like this. Something happened.
You may think booing ex players is pathetic. That's your opinion. Gallas played a big part in our success and was boo'd by 40 odd thousand in Stamford Bridge back in 2006. It happens.
Ultimately, respect is a two way street, and it worth noting that players who have conducted themselves well, such as Lamps, Cech and Mata returned to a hero's welcome.

domrussell reacted to WalterWhiteCFC in David Luiz back at ChelseaSort of puts me off signing Brazilians they seem to get awfully stroppy when things don’t go their way, look at Naymar as well.
Maybe because they are from poor backgrounds and become such hero’s as the country is football mad that they just get big ballooned egos.
Mind you SSB and William as well always seem very humble in interviews, but it does seem Latin players in general get the handbags out at the first hint if something they don’t like ?????
Guess it’s like diving as well just different football cultures, different ideas of what’s ok, what’s annoying is English players are becoming divas when it comes to transfers and are diving more now as well, it’s certainly not a sport with many JT type characters anymore, body on the line and loyal as a dog, lots and lots of girlie stuff going on.

domrussell reacted to abramovich in David Luiz back at ChelseaHe's 32 and signed a new contract (until 2021) only in May.
Given his age, what does he care about playing time, it's not as if he's a young starlet wanting to get noticed and develop his career. At 32 he should realize he'll spend more and more time on the bench, it's only natural.
Pulling a no-show in training trying to force a move with the club unable to replace him due to the transfer ban and him extending only three months earlier is a disgraceful behaviour. If John Terry, Petr Cech and Gary Cahill can accept the reduced role with dignity, who the hell is Luiz to throw his toys out of the pram?

domrussell reacted to chi blue in Vintage Blues pictures and filmCouldn't imagine Christiano Ronaldo or Messi getting messy like that, doubt it would be in their contract!!!! Can remember many a time coming back from park like that, mum saying "get your kit off at the door", a few years later we would be saying the same thing to a bird but with a whole new meaning!!!
