More importantly, how did he perform on the pitch before he left? Pretty poorly. It's not like we've suddenly got the chance to sign Riyad or N'Golo again as brilliant as Drinky was when we won the league. Not in the same class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t think he is going to take a £100k a week pay cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to work out the motivation behind the deal, assuming it's true. If it lifts morale it might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys more content with a squad role and I'd argue, certainly in King's case, capable of playing different types of midfield roles even if not as good as Drinky on top form in his particular role. Like you say, that'd be the main reason for bringing him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMELcfc Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 I think my last memory of him was constantly spraying passes out of touch... I said before he’d work well again with N’Didi but not bothered i think Silva is just as mobile around the pitch and genrally a better footballer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfieldfox. Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 Too inconsistent for my liking. Matty James was a better all round player before his ACL rupture. I'd prefer to let Chaudhury develop and learn from Wilf, Silva and Iborra. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to come back he’d restrict development of players that have shown promise and ability in a similar style to his. I don’t think need him.

I’m not comparing talent, my point is everyone’s saying they wouldn’t have him back because he choose to join Chelsea. Yet Mahrez did the same thing. The majority said Mahrez deserves a crack to play at a bigger club, where is that any different to DD? Im not saying I think 100% we should sign him my point is people are judging resigning him from the wrong point of perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd have Mahrez back, if his heart was in it, because he'd be far better than what we have now. I'm not sure I can say the same of DD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sets a bad example if your whisking players back in if they’ve done poor elsewhere. Also silva and Iborra don’t deserve to be binned for him! Iborra has great leadership and Silva is picking up with the speed of the game to match his technique Sign him on loan and let him rot in the reserves? We're fortunate that you're not involved in our player recruitment strategy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because Mahrez is close to being a world class player whereas DD has possibly reached his peak already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of quality, your missing the point. Why does it make DD such a bad person for wanting to test himself at the top, but it’s okay for Riyad?

MPH Posted 8 August 2018 Share Posted 8 August 2018 (edited) Need a 10-15 game run to find his rythm again... I don’t think we can afford to carry him until he does Edited 8 August 2018 by MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely class for us, bar his last season with us. He made the move to a bigger club and due to injuries etc. he’s never really had a chance st Chelsea. He he got into the England squad with us and was MOTM in his first game. Intelligent and classy midfielder and i’d Have him back here in a heartbeat. Some short memories from a few bitter fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizerud Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 He hasn't been anywhere close to as good as when he played with Kante and in the great escape seasono he was being kept out by Matty James. What does that tell you? I'd much rather give Iborra and Silva another shot now that they've had a full season behind them (well kinda with Silva). Would rather see Choudhury and even Mendy before paying Drinky's exorbitant wages to inevitably end up on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 We’re loaded in this area. I can’t see the point in bringing anyone else in, unless we offload someone. He was playing with an injury prior to leaving, he’s never shaken that off. He’s been injured ever since it feels like. Drinky is a bit like Henderson, I think people undervalue him. He’s better than people perceive. James has been injured for what, 2 years? Danny outgrew him as a footballer in that time. The question is, could we get him fit again? As we sure struggle in the aftermath of the Premier League title win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immense in the championship and showed his quality throughout the PL years and title winning season. I was annoyed he left as well but to then claim he was average at best is laughable.
