Born and growing up in Greenwich, South East London, Danny Wallace kick started his professional footballing career with Second Division side Southampton as an associate schoolboy in February 1977. A small and compact left winger, Wallace made an immediate impact at The Dell and he became the youngest ever Southampton first team player when he proceeded to make his senior debut for The Saints in a respectable 1-1 draw with Manchester United in November 1980 aged only 16 years and 313 days. The lavishly gifted player also made a piece of football history when he appeared for his beloved Southampton at home to Sheffield Wednesday with his two brothers Ray and Rod on the 22nd of October 1988. Always in the middle of action, his performances for the South Coast outfit eventually earned him an England cap against Egypt in January 1986.

Impressed by the prodigious young player, ambitious Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson brought him to Old Trafford in a £1.2 million transfer deal in the autumn of 1989. His Manchester United career started on a high note and he was the club´s first choice left winger during the 1989-90 campaign. Arguably, the pinnacle of his career came when Manchester United won the 1990 FA Cup final against Steve Coppell’s Crystal Palace side. Even though he went on to win the European Cup Winners Cup final against Barcelona the following year, the bandy legged winger never quite managed to live up to his obvious potential. When Lee Sharpe made his breakthrough at Manchester United, Wallace saw his first team opportunities more or less vanish into thin air and the frustrated footballer was subsequently loaned out to lowly Millwall.

As things eventually turned out, Danny Wallace played in his last game for Manchester United in a narrow 1-0 triumph over Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford in January 1993. Later that year, Wallace was transferred to Birmingham City for an estimated transfer fee of £250,000 after making only 47 league appearances for Manchester United. Although his fitness problems had started at Old Trafford, they got even it got worse at the Midlands club, and after a short spell with Wycombe Wanderers the tiny flankman had his football career tragically cut short due to serious illness. The rampant Danny Wallace had his testimonial match in May 2004 when a Southampton selection played an All Star team at St. Mary’s Stadium.

Chelsea has been under heavy criticism lately for performing badly against the big teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United, losing both games and more against neighbors Queens Park Rangers. Is something really wrong with Chelsea or is it Andre Villas Boas?

Fernando Torres is not used to Chelsea’s play style; back in Liverpool Fernando Torres was the main player when it came to counter-attacks especially with Steven Gerrard behind him to assist with quick passes. Chelsea is currently playing a possession game which keeps the opposites defenders in their box and closes down spaces for players like Torres. It is obviously impossible for the entire team to change their strategy for one player so he needs to adapt quickly or it’s over for him. Fernando is already 27 so he only has 3-4 years where he can excel in and the 50 million paid by Roman Abramovich will keep haunting him unless he does.

Didier Drogba is not the same player anymore, the forward that scared the Gooners, Red Devils and all of Europe has finally grown old; it was going to happen eventually especially with the Ivorian international turning 33 earlier this year. His recent performances in the EPL have shown that he has grown too slow and old for the premier league.

Bosingwa is very weak defensively, despite his speed and accurate crosses Jose Bosingwa is blamed by many for the blues defensive errors; he is quick to leave his position and dash forward and is frequently beaten by the opposite forwards. Several analysts called out for Brainislav Ivanovic to replace Bosingwa in his position as he is much better defensively and could do better for Chelsea but Boas has showed his trust in Bosingwa by constantly starting him.

Florent Malouda, Kalou and Anelka don’t have anything to offer anymore, the trio has achieved much for Chelsea but it is clear that they are no longer suited for the club if they are to compete with the big guns of Europe. Andre Villas Boas has already hinted at Kalou’s exit as he has not been included in a premier league or a UCL game in some time but Anelka and Malouda’s fates are still unknown.

Terry is still getting hammered by the media over racism claims, many have noticed that the John terry playing for Chelsea is not the same player that he used to be; and with the English media discussing the investigations of the case in every single aspect it is no secret that John Terry is suffering from lack of concentration which caused him to be removed from England’s starting squad against Spain.
