scott parker played a few games for chelsea, big games at that. Still doesn't mean he didn't rot in their reserves and stunted his development.
Scott Parker as much as we dislike him has not had a bad career even since he joined Chelsea
he has had a few injuries but still played at last 20 games as season and apart from this season and 4 games for West Ham back in 2011 before he moved to Tottenham he has never dropped out of the Premier League, yes he might of had a better career if he stayed, but no way has it been a poor career
scott parker was the best player in a team in the top 4 at 23 years old. You would've hoped he would've had a top top career, not a decent premier league one. All he's going to be is a pub quiz/pointless answer for england captains in about 10-15 years time. Not a pretty well established household name like he really should've been.
But it's hard to predict how successful players will be. Did anyone expect Lampard to still be scoring goals at the highest level 10-15 years after leaving West Ham? Or Gary Cahill to be first choice CB for Chelsea and England?

This, when Cahill left Bolton moat people said it was a bad move for him and he would get no game time
and lets face it Chelsea are rich and in all fairness probably have better coaches, Parker may of thought the Charlton coaches had taken him as far as he could go and wanted to see what better coaches and better players training with him could teach him, plus Chelsea where gonna finish in Champions League places, we only might of.

Yes. Both were established Premier League players by the time they moved. No comparison to the Poyet move.
Bloody hell. That's a superb signing for them. Where's the knobhead Huddersfield fan who was labelling Powell the worst manager they've ever had, after about two games?
Yeah just think. If he hadn't taken the 'gamble' to multiply his wages and have the chance to play at a higher level when his contract had ended with us, he could've now been attracting the attentions of a league one club who can't match our valuation.
Spoke to someone at West Ham a couple of weeks ago. They were very disappointed with his progress but apparently Big Sam didn't want him in the first place. Bilic however will play whoever he is told to play, so Gold and Sullivan will make sure he gets some game time ( apparently ) ..
Considering he has only played a handful of games since leaving Charlton, I imagine it will be hard to judge how much he has developed in pure footballing terms.
Another classic example of a young player breaking into first team football and being very badly advised. I'm thinking that if he had remained at The Valley for just last season he would now have seventy odd games behind him and I don't doubt that he would have progressed. Instead he's now classed as "a disappointment" and his career has stalled. Not much chance of another PL team being interested so he's going to loaned to a championship club again and in all probability will end up signing for a championship team full time to rebuild his reputation.

Good. I can't help but feel a little smug after his games on Twitter, no doubt ignoring the advice of everyone within the club, and leaving through the back door at The Valley. This was always going to happen. **** him.

I only saw him only a few times. A couple live and a one or two on TV. I was immensely disappointed every time given the hype about him I use to read on here. Reminded me a lot of Josh Wright. Looked good but when you analysed it rarely good in a way that hurt the opposing team like a Parker or Coquelin. Playing in a free deep role always asking for a short pass from the defender when he had no opponent within 20 yards and then 9 times out of 10 strolling side ways and making an easy square pass around the half way line. He just seemed completely ineffectual to me.

I'd would be really happy if we signed Holt and Poyet.

Another backward step, if he isn't playing.
