This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'm no fan of Chelsea but it just sounds like Crespo had a bad experience with the team and that his circumstances may not apply to all strikers.

If anything I can understand why any striker (or player) would want to move there.

You could be the best player in the world, already played on the top-level and won many trophies. However, to play for the richest team in the world, and play where your superstar status means nothing and you're rewarded the same as everyone else sounds like a dream come true.

I can't blame any player wanting to move to Chelsea. It's the one team where you'll never ever be truly invincible, even if you can score in every match.

In that case, feel free to score a few own goals for me. Perhaps you could accidentally break Didier Drogba's leg in training too.

He didn't really fit in in his two seasons with Chelsea, so I can understand his saying this. It is rumoured that Andriy Shevchenko could be a Milan player again before the end of January as he has had the same problems adapting. Crespo is Inter's top scorer with five this season in Serie A. The original interview is more detailed and can be seen here in the Daily Mirror
