Mutu

[RomoStriker]

Hey,

Mourinho should give Mutu a chance and start him a few games. I know they have their differences but I think Mutu would appreciate the chance given to him to prove he can scores goals for Chelsea. I would hate for Mutu to leave Chelsea without showing Mourinho what he can do. Last year's start at Chelsea was no joke. He's capable to start, I hope Mourinho gives him a chance. I think he deserves one.

If he had kept his mouth shut, (let alone stop for police, remember even after that and his pre-season nonsense he made the bench and saw a little time), he may have received a couple starts or a 2nd half off the bench to prove himself with Drogba's injury.

Not much sense in shooting off one's mouth 3 months before the transfer window, especially when he knew Drogba was hurt.

I do not know about his performence and attitude in training but he no longer deserves a shot.

You let him get away with calling the manager and team liers, with so many talented playery wanting to play more and say so, the next thing you know you are Real Mad, and the inmates are running the asyluim.

And this comes from someone who rates him as a player, though not above 3rd as a striker on this team. He works hard but often trys to dribble through too many players rather than make a selfless pass.

Good luck in italy, which may be better suited for his game.

[add] p.s. Welcome, this is a friendly place, hate to disagree with you so soon but I feel strongly about a manager maintaining authority and players knowing their role.

[RomoStriker]

Dont worry about disagreeing thanks for the welcome. Mutu is a better fit for serie a but im going to miss him out of the epl. I just want a romanian in the epl oh well at least theres Contra at WBA.

Yesterday the papers say he apologizes and wants to come back into the fold, now today it emerges that he didn't even go to training yesterday. I wonder if JM suspended him for a week or soemething to prove a point.

Carlton Cole has also come out and said his future lies at Chelsea but he intends to stay at Villa for the entire season. A move back to the Bridge in January can't be ruled out though.

I dont think JM suspended him but if Mutu is doing what I think hes doing hes being an idiot. I love Mutu ( My Romanian) but if he wants to start he needs to come to train especially while others are on international duty and with only one healthy striker. I want him to start a couple of games at Chelsea before he takes off but I doubt he will :( it was great while it lasted. I knew once they signed Kezman and Drogba it would be over. Ego maniac JM. I'm not crazy about him, I miss CR.

[blackjack]

The simple fact is that if we play a 4-3-3, Drogba, Gudjohnsen, Kezman, Robben, Duff, and Cole are ALL ahead of Mutu. I don't deny that Mutu's a good player, but with so many others around who don't seem to mind spending time on the bench, I think his transfer fee will be more useful to us than his services.

HARLINGTON, England, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Temperamental
striker Adrian Mutu, who played for Romania against club advice
and criticised manager Jose Mourinho, may have made his last
Chelsea appearance.

Mourinho said on Friday the 25-year-old, who returned from
Bucharest last Monday to a hefty fine for making critical
comments, was still on the club's injury list and unfit to play
or train.

"He's under the medical department. When a player can't
train I'm not thinking about him," Mourinho said curtly.

The coach praised some of his other players, such as Scott
Parker, Glen Johnson and Robert Huth, who were having trouble
getting a starting spot in a squad packed with big name talent.

They had nevertheless worked hard and shown a professional
attitude and in a long season were bound to get games, Mourinho
said.

Asked when the Romanian might play again, the Portuguese
coach added: "At this moment I see that day as far off."</pre>

Report: Romanian star tests positive for drugs
Associated Press
Posted: 1 hour ago

LONDON (AP) - Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu has tested positive for a banned drug, a British newspaper said on Sunday.

According to the Mail on Sunday, the 25-year-old Romanian striker, who has lost his place on the team after falling out with club coach Jose Mourinho, tested positive at Chelsea's training ground. The report did not identify the banned substance involved or say when the test was carried out.

The Football Association declined to confirm the report or whether any Premier League player had tested positive. Calls to Chelsea weren't answered.

The paper said Mutu's sample was taken by a team from UK Sport, which carries out most random tests in Britain, and it was now up to the player to decide whether to have the 'B' sample tested.

If Mutu is the player involved, he is likely to receive a ban of two years from the Football Association. It suspended Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand for eight months for failing to show up for a test even though he tested negative a day later.

[blackjack]

I think it's safe to say that Mutu has made his last appearance as a Chelsea player. Even if he''s not banned for this, I can't see Mourinho keeping him on after a failed drugs test.

Minor correction : Crespo's on loan at Milan right now.

[tomvandamn]

mutu has tested positive so what will happen

will chelsea cut him immediatly and if the fa give him a one year ban i assume he cant play anywhere for a year

[RomoStriker]

If its true it sounds like a 2 year ban. I'm guessing its banned from club and country and if he did test positive I would just consider him a sellout because its not fair to Chelsea for selling him this winter and for him to serve his country like that. Its not fair to Romania hes a big part of the team. But I guess its not confirmed though.

[fedwood]

oh its confirmed
his name was not listed before but now its everywhere

[BridgeMonkee]

Mutu, this a shame, he showed so much great promise at the beginning of his Chelsea term, scoring six in his first five games. At that point it looked like Mutu might just be the much needed replacement for Zola (we are still trying to find that kind of striker, it is the missing part of the present side, we have great defenders and midfielders and even strikers, we just need that Zola type striker, free-kick specialist, still doesn’t everyone, they are few and far between). After a bright start Mutu really fecked up after that, a dip in his form, an alleged falling out with team mates, a row with the current boss and now the drugs charge. Now are we talking steroids here or are we talking about coke?
Is this case similar to the Bosnich case I wonder. Bosnich was out of favor and out of form, Chelsea were looking to get rid of him and then a long comes the drug charge and his gone.

[fedwood]

also hes gonna have his chelsea contract terminated and pepsi has just terminated his 1.7mill contract with them

yes it is coke..not to performance enhancing..decreasing if anything
come to think of it

Pepsi terminates Mutus contract cos he has coke in his system

classic

I would not think so, though I guess they can terminate the contract and avoid some future financial obligations, I imagine they would have preferred to sell, or loan then sell him, to an Italian side, would probaly have recouped at least half the initial fee. If Roman did veto the September sale, at least he can afford his mistakes, just set to cash out £1.5 billion for his 25% stake in an aluminum company.

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

One could also come to the conclusion that one becomes out of favor and out of form when using cocaine.

is there a chance that there has been tampering with the sample here? Perhaps a certain portuguese manager in a dark trenchCoat.
