# Chelsea FC: Fans react to Blues flop Danny Drinkwater’s birthday message

**Many Chelsea fans reacted to a post from [the club’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1235519954998312961) wishing Blues flop Danny Drinkwater a happy birthday.**

The former England international has only scored 1 goal in 23 appearances for the London club. Drinkwater has also played for a number of sides including Burnley, Huddersfield Town, Manchester United, Watford and Leicester City. He notably won the Premier League with the Foxes but didn’t feature in a single game for Chelsea in the Premier League last season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-drinkwater/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/73491/verein/631)).

The midfielder is currently enjoying a spell on-loan at Aston Villa with his contract with the Blues due to expire in 2022. Drinkwater’s market value is estimated at £5.40m and it remains to be seen whether or not the board will allow him to leave in the summer ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-drinkwater/profil/spieler/73491)).

Obviously the club’s tweet prompted loads of hilarious reactions from the Stamford Bridge faithful, with one tongue-in-cheek comment suggesting the 30-year-old is the “best signing of the Marina era.”

Take a look at some of the funniest reactions down below…
