Chelski sold Gallas because ....

[oxford_fan]

its not just down to money though, doore. gallas wanted to play central defence but the terry/carvalho partnership won't be broken (god knows why - gallas is miles better than ricardo)

[Doore]

and I want to be paid shit loads for being played slightly out of position.  I don't want to get up in the morning.  I don't see why he, having signed a big money contract, should be able to dictate where he plays.  Look at Alan Smith, he never wanted to play in midfield, but he just gone on with it, never whinged.

because people are different?

fair enough if he wants to go somewhere else after playing all around chelsea's back four for the last few years.

yes footballers are overpaid but if you're there you may as well try and get what you can, especially at a bastard club like chelsea.

What about the obligation that comes with signing a contract?  Do you think this should be adhered to?

[oxford_fan]

yes, but gallas has proven that contracts can be pretty meaningless and regardless of the contract you can't keep a player against his will.

the only obligations in a contract are written into it. if gallas was in breach of his contract with his actions, why don't chelsea take action?

unless alot of the stuff we hear is bullshit. which it most probably is.
