Re: Drinkwater.
Chelsea could have just promoted a youth player to fill their quota. The truth is that Drinkwater was in form in a good Leicester team and played for England.
See also Nicky Butt and Jordan Henderson for mediocre players in good teams.
Jordan Henderson is a top player

Important cogs, used wisely. The problem comes if they get ideas above their station, or if another manager doesn't realise their limitations.

Catching up on Match of the Day. Got to love the Arsenal players berating the ref for a red card that he didn’t even give and is just being told in his ear that he needs to give.

So many footballers really are thick.

Who should they berate? Maybe no-one if the decision was clearly right. But if they dispute it who else should they go to other than match officials?

Indeed. It also looks like at least one Arsenal player is saying "Why don't you go look for yourself" or words to that effect, pointing to the sideline monitor.

You know Sky’s money has destroyed football when Bournemouth are loaning a player to AC Milan.

What?

AC Milan who had top names like Shevchenko and Rivaldo reduced to swapping players with relegation fodder EPL teams.

Italian football never recovered from the match fixing scandal. 

Whilst the match fixing scandal played a major part, the revenues from their TV deal being surpassed and now dwarfed by the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga and even Ligue 1 has probably been the biggest factor.
