Malouda: RDM right to do what he has?

As you know I posted up the “Tweet” that Florent Malouda posted stating that he was banished to train with the U21′s for the remainder of his Chelsea contract.

Since then it seems that Lyon are keen to offer Malouda a way out of the club as it’s obvious that he doesn’t fit into RDM’s plans for the season.

There is divided opinion amongst Chelsea fans about the decision RDM has taken with Malouda and people have claimed that he is doing exactly what AVB did with Alex and Anelka last season.

The most important thing to remember about all this is the that Malouda himself had been talking up a move away back in the summer. RDM made it clear that he wanted to speak with Malouda once pre season training started at the beginning of July because he wanted to understand what his intentions were for this season.

With the decision RDM has made it’s a clear sign that Malouda felt that his future was elsewhere and you can only imagine that he was trying to negotiate a move away before the deadline which of course never happened.

As a result, RDM has made the decision because he doesn’t feel as though Malouda wanted to be part of his squad this season.

For me, there is nothing wrong in what RDM has done as far as Florent Malouda is concerned. If anything the best thing to do now is to agree to terminate the remainder of his contract so he leaves Chelsea and is free to rejoin Lyon if reports are to be believed.

It’s a shame that it has come down to this because Malouda has played his part. I have said time and time again on here that we got the absolute best out of him in Carlo’s double winning season. Apart from that, his form has been pretty much stop, start.

He has scored important goals and has played a part in our recent successes and although him leaving may leave a somewhat sour taste in our mouths, it’s important to remember that.

Credit RDM. I would have done exactly the same.

Do you agree?
