Untouchable?

Just Jimmy mouthing off a warning that he wants to play all the time..or perhaps a less than direct hint to Barca et all that he wants out?

That article seems to take the worst out of it.
Typical of soccernet though i suppose, what with their long established Chelsea bias.

Hers more, or perhaps, ALL of it.

 

Which flies in the face of this article

From the Sunday mirror.

JIMMY FLOYD HASSELBAINK has revealed the torment that lies behind his success - and why all the money in the world won't tempt him to walk out on Chelsea.
In a rare and emotional interview, the Stamford Bridge striker opened his heart about the demons that haunt his life and tells how a lack of respect and jealousy has inspired him in his career.
Hasselbaink revealed:
How his financial security ensures he will see out his playing days at Chelsea;
Why he never forgave Leeds and chairman Peter Ridsdale for treating him like an insignificant player;
How Dutch football tried to destroy his confidence and showed him no respect;
And how he longed to earn the love and respect of a father who walked out on him.
With the transfer window poised to open in the New Year it's inevitable that Hasselbaink will be linked with a move away from Chelsea, a club with financial problems.
But while they are crippled by debt, an excellent first half to the Premiership season has left them well placed to challenge for the title.
And while Chelsea's financial plight remains grave they can count on the loyalty of Hasselbaink, who insists he neither wants nor needs to go.
He said: "I won't leave Chelsea now. I love it here and all I want to do is win the Championship for this club. We have never been in a better position and in showing the fans and club my loyalty, I can assure them that nothing will make me change my mind."
"Yes, of course I play for money, like people work for money in any job. But my first love is football - though it's nice to know it brings financial security.
"If I wasn't wealthy enough, maybe I would think about signing for someone who pays the biggest wages. But now I can afford to say no to clubs.
"In Italy and Spain I could have earned twice as much as I do in England but I stay here because I want to." One club who will never get a call from Hasselbaink is Leeds, and it's clear his treatment at their hands has left scars that will never heal. He added: "I would never go back to Leeds. They could offer me 10 times the money I'm earning at Chelsea and I still wouldn't go, not after the way Peter Ridsdale treated me.
"They were asking £12million for me and paid me like I was worth £2.50. I got slaughtered for leaving, but I had no alternative. I would have been an idiot to stay at a club that paid me so little, that valued me so poorly."
Hasselbaink is also irritated that his prolific record cuts no ice in his native country.
He said: "It's only in Holland where I don't get the respect I deserve. You should hear the way they talk about other Dutch footballers who are playing abroad. When you compare it with what they have to say about me, it's an absolute disgrace."
"I don't feel I have anything to prove in my own country, why should I? They are like that because I have never played for a big club in Holland. They don't like it and can't accept it.
"The fact I have become a big star in England, Spain and Portugal annoys them, but what can I do about it?
"They claim I have been lucky in my life - rubbish. I have worked as hard as anyone to be a success.
"The only thing I could do is play for a big Dutch team and play out of my skin, and then maybe they will tell me I'm all right, that I'm not such a bad player after all. But that will never happen.
"Over the past nine years not a single Dutch club has asked me to play for them. Honestly, it would make me so proud even if I turned them down. Do you know how it feels not to be accepted by your own country?"
"But none of them would admit they have been wrong about me. I won't deny it's hurt me because it has. I feel incredible pain just talking about it. I have often talked to my agent Humphrey Nijman and my girlfriend about it.
"I am not ashamed to admit how much my country has hurt me. I have sat in front of my telly in my house in London and cringed when I heard Dutch commentators and other people talk about me on TV.
"They have slaughtered me time after time. But can you ever see any of them turning round and saying, 'Jimmy is great, he is one of the best finishers in the game?'
"I know I will never get that sort of compliment even though I feel I have earned it."
But Hasselbaink's pain over a lack of respect and love runs far deeper. His father deserted him at an early age and he had to make his way in life without the guidance of a father-figure he craved.
Hasselbaink went on: "My dad was never with me - he deserted us and returned home to Surinam.
"I missed him like hell. All the other boys would turn up for football with their father and I went on my own or with my brother.
"Nobody can understand how insecure I feel. I appear to be this confident big striker who bangs in goals without a care in the world.
"But I am always asking myself if I have done well, am I doing things right? I have never had a father who said to me, 'You have done well in your life, son'.
"But I have grown up and spent my whole life without him. Maybe he is proud of me, I don't know. But I don't have to think about him any more, I don't want to make contact with him. Where was he when I needed him?"
Though his father may have let him down Hasselbaink does have many friends he can rely on, and he counts Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert and Arsenal's Giovanni van Bronckhorst among the best of them.
"When I got in the Dutch team I didn't really trust anyone. I had to work hard to win people over - it was a tight group with a few lads running things.
"All the time I was forced to prove myself but Giovanni and Patrick were always there for me. Giovanni is now my best mate in London - we spend a lot of time together with our families

 

Jimmy speaks out

Jimmy had this to say....

He said he was "devastated" when he heard about it, and rang Claudio straight away to tell him that most of it was taken out of context. A few of the players asked him about it, and he explained that it wasn't true, and they all had a good laugh about it.

He said that he has no reason to want to leave us as he feels that we are in a very good position to win something.

He also said that If he has a problem then he goes straight to Claudio with it and gets it sorted out, as he's the type of manager you can talk to.

He is getting peed off with all the negative reports about him and Chelsea, how everyone are just waiting for us to slip up, but reckons that it is making the players even more determined and stronger to prove them all wrong.
