Issues come and get me plea... you're having a kin laugh right? Thought it was July 1st not April.
No thanks.
 
he says that if a team got him fit than he could still do a job. I just cant see anyone getting him fit enough after all the time swanning about doing nothing.
 
Hmmmm yes but he couldn't wait to go on to supposedly bigger and better in the bright lights of the smoke. On and off the park since he left his life has been a car crash. Liggers like this not required. Thanks for 2015/16 but this is a different time different place.
 
for me he was our most influential player over 3 years. Bit of an oddball but is that what gave him his bite and determination. He was a misfit, but great for us.

Not sure I'd want him back though. 50/50 for me.
 
I remember a game before he joined us.
He was a Man U player but was on loan to Barnsley or some other Northern Monkey club. He absolutely bossed the midfield.
Think NFP was so impressed he bought him.
 
He should have asked our opinion before before taking the Ruski shilling

We would have brought him down to earth and stuck a pin in his over inflated ego in a heart beat

But he didn't so in the nicest possible way and said with love

Fuck off fatty
 
I'd love to see the club invite Danny to come and train with us, just like we did with Danny Simpson, what is in the past is in the past . One off our title winning players..... Danny Drinkwater, legend in my eyes, maybe a troubled man but his vision to slot a thoughball to Mr Vardy.... Class.
 
Trouble is Simpson didn't leave us, we just didn't renew his contract. Drinkwater left us for mega bucks, he can just do one and get on with his life even if he was part of our Premier League winning team.
 
we went to Liverpool on Boxing Day, our 2 key players were not involved as they would have been, Vardy out injured and Drinkwater playing with an injury was the reason we lost. He was our best player for 3 years, he was fantastic, thats why Chelsea paid £35m for him, but he was a flawed player - Leicester and Claudio suited him, he was top rate no matter how bitter fans get about him.
 
Drinkwater showed us just how important he was in that last promotion season from the Championship, and he carried that fine form over to the Prem, in large part. I can’t help getting misty eyed about him and that promotion winning side whenever my wife pops a fistful of Mama Taylor Fletcher’s Crispy Filled Pancakes into the microwave, before we settle down to a box set of Follyfoot Farm.
 
What a bunch of soppy old farts
He was a half decent journey man when he came, we turned him into a Premier League winner
Some twat of an agent convinced him and Cheatski that he was top class, he took the dough without looking back
He didn’t give a flying one about us he just believed the bullshit.
All that was a long time ago, if he’s skint it serves him right, let it be a lesson to all of the over inflated egos masquerading as footballers
It was all a long time ago Danny, try non league because no one else is interested

if you don't realise his importance then you wasn't watching us win the league.
 
Chelsea signed him because they thought Kante needed him. As I remember it was a deadline day move for £35m. I si t think he was agitating for a move but at the time it looked like good business for all parties. One great thing about the PL season was how settled the team was and how few players we used. He was a big part of that. It just didn’t kick on for him after he left us.

As I recall they'd been trying to sign Ross Barkley but he'd pulled out at the last minute because he wasn't fit and was scared of failing the medical. I think Drinkwater was an emergency purchase to fill a gap in their midfield reserve options. Apparently Conte didn't even want him and never had any intention of playing him regularly. It was pretty much doomed from the start.
