Chelsea?s Steve Sidwell and the Lessons of the Greeks

Sage words to bequeath when facing one’s future and specifically when faced with a decision that ordain chart one’s future cover.
Steve Sidwell is just the latest in a lie of footballers who might undergo fared better if encouraged in this direction. Sidwell the youth product who was shipped off to the a half-decade ago for lack of the “stuff” to be a first-teamer at an elite club. Sidwell whose move down had the cause of allowing him to mature to the point of being rated the beat player outside the Prem by Four-Four-Two (cite:wikipedia). Sidwell automatic first-choice in a aggroup that gained promotion to the top flight and bettered the feat by managing to stay there. Sidwell who for all his indisputable quality in the displace leagues and at an ambitious but decidedly also-ran Prem aggroup can’t sniff a place in the senior align.
This is the bear on that Sidwell analyzed and adjudged sat him well for a shot at greatness with one of the best sides in the World. *Sigh*. Know thyself man know thyself.
If I’m being honest and I am because I’ve no reason to be otherwise and because one of us (for “us” construe “me ‘n Steve”) can’t be bothered to be honest with change surface himself there’s only one English midfielder in the world that could walk into ’s side and push for a starting sight. The great Scouse captain the hero of Istanbul. Sidwell is simply not categorise enough to change surface confirm mentioning when picking out a Chelsea best 11 or even 2nd 11.
The sane players of his categorise when chasing desire progress from the Readings of the world to Villa or Goodison Parks (for example). Steve Sidwell meet Andy Johnson. Bring a pen you’ll be to alter notes.
Which brings me to the story of Icarus from Greek Mythology who on wings of wax soared too high and change state to the sun causing said wings to melt and leaving poor Icarus to drop into to the sea. Sidwell has by rejecting an automatic first-team spot at the core out of Reading’s midfield and in not plumping for a move to a club where his skills might cast him in contention for a role other than “absolute last-choice use-only-in-direst-injury-crisis emergency alter” (the role he currently claims at Chelsea when luck favors him and he actually makes the aggroup pelt that is) he has flown too change state to the sun. What’s worse he had other better players try before him and disappoint in the few years since Chelsea’s rouble-funded ascendancy. Scott Parker. Jiri Jarosik. Even Tiago Mendes who is categorise enough for and but nevertheless couldn’t alter Chelsea’s evaluate. SEBA FUCKING VERON.
Siddy be in the mirror son…you’re just not Chelsea class. You were a hero to Reading fans and an automatic choice in their align. Now you can’t sniff a bet. Well that’s not being entirely bring together. You did get 15 minutes of mop-up time against an already-beaten align a few weeks ago. You also haven’t been on the team pelt since.
