that's just unfounded chelski propaganda (about refusing to play etc).
gallas didn't feel respected at chelsea, partly because he was played out position, but mainly because he was on significantly less money than others in the team, despite having been a key player.
gallas has played both centre half and left back for arsenal, and has already stated that he is happy in either position for arsenal. Just goes to show how much he wanted to leave chelsea.
anyway,,, chelski deserve that money-grabbing spice boy (cashley) - it suits their style.
