What's new

Danny Drinkwater

Remember when people told us to trust Lampard, Coles and whoever elses judgement because they're pros and they know best? Bare in mind, this guy cost more than Timo who gets absolute dogs abuse.

What does Ben Chilwater really bring to our team that is better than what we previously had? I see the guy running forward and playing more like a left winger than a left back. We see him wasting possession with poor crosses into the box and distrupting the flow of the attack. 

Being honest when I say it, if we can find a suitor to take him off us we should cut our losses and sell. Look at Drinkwater 5 year contract earning 100k aw for doing nothing same thing more than likely will be the case for Chilwell. Also, notice how the media stay tight lipped about Chilwell terrible performances since joining not once has he really looked like a good buy.

With Gallagher on his way to Palace on loan and Gilmour already gone to Norwich, is Danny Drinkwater in line for the fourth midfield spot as it stands? Seems that way to me unless we sign a midfielder before the window close but I doubt we do actually.

Funny thing is I wouldnt actually be against it if he was still at his mid 00's level, proven PL player (with a proven partnership with Kante) who would know his place regarding minutes.

However after the few years he has had it would simply be too big a gamble.

 
There's Barkley and Ampudu to consider too...

Surely no one wants him now, he can't even make it in Turkey. Think we're going to keep him around as a homegrown player and training partner.

 
Drinkwater is a talented footballer, not a top footballer but he could easily make it at a mid/lower table prem team, but it does seem like because he’s getting that £100k a week from us he just can’t be bothered to play at a level he should be. At this point he’s ruined his reputation and I don’t think another premier league team would touch him 

 
Drinkwater has scored and assisted an Andy Carroll goal away to Swansea this afternoon.
