"Young players are a little bit like melons - only when you open them up and taste the melon are you 100 per cent sure that the melon is good" - Jose Mourinho -
And he added
"Sometimes you have beautiful melons but they don't taste very good; other melons are a bit ugly and when you open them the taste is fantastic." - Jose Mourinho -
Chelsea players ..if they were fruits
Didier Drogba - Apple - Solid, reliable, never lets you down. Can be made to fall by the slightest breeze.
Frank Lampard - Avocado - Versatile and unfathomably popular, despite surprisingly high fat content.
John Terry - Coconut - Utterly indestructible, and can stand up to any punishment. A bit vacant.
Joe Cole - Banana - Boasts an exotic touch, but has soft flesh and bruises easily.
Claude Makelele - Blueberry - Small, often going unnoticed, but extremely good for your health.
Ashley Cole - Pomegranate - Overpriced and overrated. Classy exterior but a bits-and-pieces contributor.
Arjen Robben - Strawberry - Fair-weather fruit. Notoriously fickle and often useless during the winter months.
Andriy Shevchenko - Lemon - World class when combined with the right ingredients, but just plain bitter at times.
got anything better than those above?? let me know...
