Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge and has been made to train with the youth team for the remainder of his time at the club as he couldn’t find another club during the summer window, could a potential move to Brazil be back on?

The 32-year-old is still a target for Brazilian club Santos, according to calciomercato.com, and that his price tag would be the only thing that will stand in the way of him making the switch. Many reports suggested that it was his fee that prevented any move in the summer as he’s on fairly lucrative wages so clubs were unwilling to play a fee on top of it and I don’t believe there’s any point in Chelsea demanding a nominal fee to let him go, just clear his wage off the books and use the transfer to get a first option on some of the club’s young talent as we did with Deco.

Malouda hasn’t been a regular starter since last season and is surplus to requirements after the arrival of Eden Hazard, Marko Marin, Oscar and Victor Moses.

    Not going to hate or abuse him like many do, it really isn’t ok, as he has done many good things for the club despite his frustrating inconsistency.

    But want him to leave ASAP. This sort of situation is not healthy.

  4. Mayor says:

    We all no what he has done but since we have a young boy who butter then him we don’t choice then let him leave before is too late and age is there as well 32 and we need 20

    My annoyance with him is that when better players like Didier Drogba, Merreles etc were leaving, Maluda was quoted saying “I WANT TO STAY”. Instead of him to have seen the writing on the wall and calling it a quit when the ovation is loudest. He called for whatever treatment he is receiving at the moment.

      My annoyance is with people like you, who speak without thought or sense.

      Malouda didn’t leave because Chelsea couldn’t agree a fee with another club and he’d have to take a significant paycut to move because no club would meet his current wage unless they got him for free.

      Before you say, ‘he should take a pay cut to play’, would you take a pay cut in your job in McDonald’s to work for Burger King, you gimp?
