Danny Drinkwater

Tbh if he really wanted to salvage his career he could have pushed for a move to a different team to get game time. Instead he decided to stay and do f*ck all.

I know he’s troubled and had problems but he could have used football as distraction.

 
The personal issues, family deaths, custody battles etc are enough to impact anyone, multi millionaire or otherwise....

But....

...We need to separate the personal from the professional. If he REALLY wanted to play football, then it was an easy thing to make happen. Chelsea would have let him go for free, and all he needed to do was accept a huge paycut to go and play elsewhere. I bet Chelsea would have even subsidised half his salary for the remainder of his contract to get him out of the door. IF he agrees to play for 15-20k per week, then there would have been endless offers. But no...he stuck around for the money. I don't blame or begrudge him that, I would have done the same, but lets not dress it up to be anything other than what it is...Bogarde lite.

Drinkwater just kept going on a downward spiral. He's a millionaire, he could have start a business, feed hungry kids etc. He chose to drink
