The Champions League squad was announced the other day and Malouda was completely omitted from the 25 man squad which just goes to show that if he thought he may still have a chance to prove him self this year at the club then that chance just disappeared altogether. However Chelsea have now gone on to make him train with the under 21s and play reserve games for the remainder of his contract which to me just seems extremely petty and reminds me of exactly what happened last year with AVB in charge and the way he treated Anelka and Alex. I understand that you may not see him in your plans any more but to make him go to play with the under 21 squad just doesn't seem to be needed. I'm not going to sit here and say 'Oh Malouda has been one my favourite players since he has been at Chelsea', but at the same time you have to appreciate he has played an important role in are recent successes, whether that be in our Premier League winning season where we did the double and last season when we captured the Champions League and FA Cup so I feel he should be treated with a bit more respect then Chelsea are showing him currently.
At the end of the day Chelsea are still paying his wages so he might as well be training with the first team. Even though we seem to be pretty solid in attacking midfield and wide positions injuries do and can happen at any time so you just never now when someone could be needed to play so to totally disregard him like this could be a huge mistake. I can also imagine it may make people like Lampard and Ashley who are coming to the end of their contracts think twice before agree new deals with the club as this could be them in a couple of years if I fall out the managers plans, so might thinkwhy should I stick around? Just a thought.
