Mathieu Debuchy has admitted he considered leaving Arsenal after losing his starting place to Héctor Bellerín.

 

The French right-back joined Arsenal for £12m in July 2014 and saw his first season at the club heavily disrupted by injury, with problems with his ankle ligaments and a dislocated shoulder limiting him to just 11 Premier League starts.

 

He has featured only once this season, in Arsenal’s 2-0 loss to West Ham, with Bellerín keeping him out of the side. The Spanish youngster also received his first call-up to the national squad this week.

 

“It is difficult,” Debuchy told L’Equipe. “Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery. But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerín.

 

“It was a surprise and a disappointment. Let’s say it [leaving] crossed my mind. But I want to be at Arsenal and to take my place.”

 

Debuchy is currently training with the France squad before their friendlies against Portugal and Serbia.

Welcome to the post Newcastle fails club. Chairman: Andy Carroll. Manager: Jose Enrique Pancake Man: Olivier Bernard Cheeky Scamp: Charles Nzogbia

 

Why is it our ambitious players that leave almost always fail at their next club?

Didn't realise Cuadrado had gone on loan to Juve.

 

Aye paid £23 million for him in January and loaned him out six month later . Is that Denman in your avatar ?

And didn't really give him a chance to get in the side in the 6 months either.

I still feel that Chelsea buy players to stop other teams buying them and getting more competitive, they then let them rot on the bench/in the reserves and loan them out to a foreign team later down the line.

 

Cuadrado and Salah being pointers of this.

Never heard anything as ridiculous as the 'buying players to stop other clubs getting them' chelp.

 

Why not?

What is your explanation for the large amount of players that Chelsea sign (that other top 4 teams/Tottenham/Liverpool want) that then go on to make less than 10 appearances for Chelsea before being flogged off.

Before you ridicule something, look into it a bit more.

For example...

 

Salah (wanted by Liverpool) - signed, no chances given, left.

Loic Remy (wanted by Liverpool/Arsenal) - signed, no chances given, offered around to leave

van Ginkel (wanted by Spurs) - signed, no chances given, left on loan to Stoke

Moses (wanted by Liverpool) - signed, no chances given, sent on loan to nearly every/anyone

Demba Ba (wanted to Liverpool/Arsenal/Man Utd) - signed, no chances given, left

De Bruyne (wanted by Man City/Arsenal) - signed, no chances given, left

Raul Merieles (wanted by Man City/Arsenal) - signed, no chances given, left

It's not that unlikely, it was common practice in the music business. Labels would sign bands similar to a big band that they already had and thrn never release anything by them so there was no competition. It's called parking iirc and not unusual in other businesses either.

Chelsea haven't signed and "thrown away" any player that could have made a difference to any of their true rivals. The only one that appears to be good enough is, guess that, currently playing for one of their true rivals (De Bruyne).

 

They just have a horrible transfer policy because they don't give a f*** about the money.

'Look into it a bit more'?

 

At best you're talking two clubs in England who would be able to do it, and between those clubs you're probably talking 10 players absolute maximum who the idea might apply to.

 

You are essentially saying that a football club might sit down and consciously decide to waste millions of pounds on players they don't even want in order to stop the theoretical sale of said players to another club.

 

The alternative being they've so much money they don't have to think out and research their buys so the moment someone shows something they buy them to get in ahead. When they arrive at the club it becomes obvious they're not going to work out so Chelsea sell them or loan them straight out because recouping money is also not important to them.

 

I know which one makes the most sense aye.

As opposed to the ridiculous amount of money Chelsea will earn by winning the title/CL or keeping teams like Man Utd out of the top four?

The merchandise alone from supporters deciding to follow Chelsea (because they're good) rather than Man Utd will recoup most of the money wasted.

 

By buying the player, they then have complete control over who he moves to and under what conditions. You honestly believe someone like Cuadrado was purchased in Jan, given 6 months and then sold because he wasn't good enough? Get away man.

 

I think you will find on a majority of loans, Chelsea are still paying a majority of the players wages - so you'll find your theory quickly breaks down with that effect. If you also look at the price of the signing/price of the sale on a majority of their players, it also breaks down. Chelsea are not arsed about losing £1m, £10m or £15m, as long as they win.
