GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT

genius :

Drogba is a strong brute of a striker.
Which gives me a love/hate view of him.

I love the brute aspect.
But because of that, I hate it when he does his 2 and a half reverses with pike (he is strong enough to STAY ON HIS FEET ) .

rdbd


He does that to win freekicks in dangerous areas of the pitch and it works 99% of the time resulting in sometimes a goal or atleast a shot on target. He hasnt dived/feigned injury for a while and even when he did it was made into a bigger issue than if an english player dived. Nowhere near as bad as everyone made him out to be.

Mr Chelsea :

1. Tis *CHEATING* , period.

2. So "for a while" is licence to forget.
Bet there are plenty of crims who would like the same logic applied to their current punishments.

3. Introducing racially prejudicial claims into the assessment.
Class.


When the reality is :

Drogba is a bigger man than that. Literally. And I would like to see it in him in character too.

Genius we have no worries. Gervinho signed straight off the back of fabregas and nasri staying, do inform me how thats a problem?

Haha.

Dont lecture me about class

Everyone knows it, you donut. Foreigners get a hard time about diving in this country than English born players

Nice essay by the way. 10/10 for presentation. Shame the content was garbage.

"If there was such an agreement, then Levy has broken it."

If there was an agreement it would have been written down in the contract like every other player who has a release clause. There was no such agreement and no agent, player or chairman of a football club would be naivie enough to agree to a gentlemans agreement.

Mr Chelsea :

Spurs had for one season a player whose "diving" prowess/reputation makes Tom Daley soil his trunks.

I believe this player was called ... what was it .. Jurgen Klinsmann. Yet this guy did no such thing during his time at Spurs (apart from two very sarcastic goal celebrations) .

So, what do we have :

1. Foreign player
2. Notorious diver
3. Didn't do it at Spurs

Which means Klinsmann manned up, and got his act sorted on day 1.

And Drogba, well he hasn't done it in the PL "for a while" . And we're all complaining about it because he is "foreign" .

QED.

"If there was an agreement it would have been written down in the contract like every other player who has a release clause. There was no such agreement and no agent, player or chairman of a football club would be naivie enough to agree to a gentlemans agreement."

A gentlemans agreement would not be written down, but that does not mean one was not discussed.

I agree with you, it would be very naive if such a thing was discussed between Levy and Modric. I suspect it's just the player engineering a move.

We had a similar thing happen when the United took Jones. The number of players that cry out for a move less than 12 months after signing new long term contracts is disgraceful.

There must be a way to even up the contract playing field between player and club, becuase at present it's too biased in the players favour.

Luka said to me that if he leaves Spurs, he will donate his house & all future earnings to me. And i can sleep with his daughter when she reaches the age of 16 years & 1 day.

If he goes back on this gentleman's agreement, i will not be happy.
