whats wrong with Distins comments ? In the grand scale of things we are no longer a big club and its delusional to think otherwise. We haven't won a trophy in 20 years (MLS all star cup doesn't count...) and we don't have a big global fanbase. We are big in regards to history of the English game but to younguns and people abroad we are not seen as a big club. We have had zero success in the premier league era bar a one off 4th place which led to nothing.
You all know its true, why get angry at a player for saying what we all know ?
I don't mind the "big club" part, just the timing of his comments. Did Distin really need to comment on the type of club Stones should be playing at in the midst of Chelsea's pursuit? Stones has said it's his ambition to compete for trophies here, Martinez has said we need to hold onto players like Stones in order to compete for trophies. Whether or not that's a realistic possibility, Distin's comments fly in the face of what both have them have said.
If Distin said this during the season, I wouldn't think twice about it and would mostly agree. But he said this at a time when Chelsea have been doing everything they can to turn Stones' head. Toward the end of his comments he mentioned Stones hasn't played a full season yet and has more to learn, he could have clarified that "after a full season here I think he will have lots of clubs after him" or something.
