When people ask me about Florent Malouda and his time at Chelsea, I always feel a sense of frustration because at times he was different class but we just never saw it enough, did we?
Banished from the first team squad and left to train with the Academy in the final year of his contract last season, Malouda has had to sit and wait and bide his time to leave the club.
It all fell apart last summer when once again he had spoken of his intention to leave. Di Matteo asked him for a meeting to find out his intentions and he obviously made it clear he wanted to leave. So he was told to train with the Academy until a deal could be done. As we know, nothing happened.
Now, Malouda could have made quotes to the media during last season, moaned to the press and made life difficult for Chelsea but he never did. He accepted the decision, trained every day and kept himself in shape. You have to give him credit at least for putting up with the situation.
Instead, he leaves Chelsea and the Chelsea fans with a message:
You have to admire him. Like I said, for me he was a frustrating player because he would be fantastic in one game and then simply average in another.
No one will ever forget his contribution to our double winning season under Carlo Ancelotti!
Good Luck Florent. We wish you well for the future.
Carefree & KTBFFH!
