Mutu Looking Forward

Last updated : 13 July 2004 By Rich Godden
Mutu started life at Stamford Bridge on fire, but went through a barren scoring run in the middle of the season, failing to net from the beginning of November to mid January! After re-discovering his scoring boots briefly, he finished the season completely out of the picture.

Mutu said "Maybe I've disappointed a little bit in the last season because I've not scored a lot of goals like two seasons ago.

"I've made a couple of mistakes and I know that but I'm okay now and I'm thinking only about football and that's the most important thing.

"I don't know what went wrong last year. There are a lot of reasons but what was bad has passed."

Here's hoping he can regain the sort of form that made him foreign player of the year in Serie A in 2002/03, prompting Chelsea to pay £15 million for his services!
