William Gallas churns out more stage managed comments
This time, former Arsenal captain slags off Chelsea
Wondered why William Gallas has been doing so much whining and badly disguised finger pointing in the press this month? It all seems to have been carefully orchestrated to promote his autobiography La parole est à la défense, released in France last week. His latest tidbit comes from his hellish time earning hundreds of thousands of pounds at Chelsea. Apparently, he justified some horrific treatment by speaking to Milan behind their backs. That’ll learn ‘em:
“Peter Kenyon, the chief executive, was against satisfying my demands. He made our life hell.
“In May 2006, I told the press of Milan’s interest and my desire to leave the club and of the very attractive offer Milan had proposed.“This prestigious Italian team were offering me a salary higher than that which I was asking of Chelsea.
“Straight away, I was seduced. Not because of the Euros but of the faith a club gives you, the value they put on you.
“Chelsea said they wanted to keep me and their offer was still open. No one knows how laughable their offer was and what I deserved.”
Gallas didn’t want to reveal the “laughable” offer, but suggested it was between £59,999 and £60,001 per week, on a contract lasting between 3 years and eleven months and four years and one month. For this ridicuous outburst, the Frenchman will undoubtedly receive copious abuse from a certain set of fans on Sunday. We don’t want to name names, but lets just say they play in blue at a ground that rhymes with “Wamford Dridge”…

We got Gallas as part of the deal that took Cashley to Chelsea.
How ridiculously hyprocritical to even put this into print bearing in mind the differences in the salaries on offer.
Gallas wanted 60k per week which although I don’t believe any footballer is worth that, is half the amount Cashley wanted from Arsenal and is also less than most other players of his calibre receive.
sensationalist crap journalism with absolutely no aim but to rile people,
take a bow you sanctimonious twat

when the hell did arsenal fans become like spurs fans?!
i reckon we’ve got a new derby in the ‘whose supporters are the most sensitive little flowers that write irrational, illogical trash at the faintest sign of someone vaguely insinuating something maybe untoward about their club?’ league.
oh yeah and… gallas is a c*ck.
