LcFc_Smiv Posted 8 July 2022 Share Posted 8 July 2022 Got to be more to the covid situation. He looked a good option in preseason and showed a bit of experience and class which we had been lacking, to go completely other end of the spectrum is just bizarre. We have a number of people coming through our long covid rehab programme who regularly run, cycle have active jobs and now struggle to leave the house now due to physical and mental related issues. Im only speculating but it wouldn't surprise me if he's suffering some long term effects, surely an experienced pro doesn't just decide to down tools at his age. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been hideous for the Saints since 2019/20 if you listen/read anything they’ve said about him. They allegedly offered him a year contract which we decided to trump. Genuinely one of the worst transfers we’ve done in a long time, don’t even want to know what signing on fee he got too. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, can only go off the performances I saw against Villarreal and Man City in which I thought he looked handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 8 July 2022 Share Posted 8 July 2022 Usually get a summer leniency where I give players a benefit of the doubt in the hope they show Vardy levels of improvement. But this guy is utter shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET HIM GONE I don't think he will get gone until the end of his contract. But I don't know if he will be in the 25 man squad. He has "injured for the season" written all ove that way-more-bloated-than-last-year face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 8 July 2022 Share Posted 8 July 2022 We can only give him one more chance to prove himself to Rogers and us that he can play a part this season. If he still looks like sheizer after a few games than he needs to be rid of somehow. We can’t have useless passengers in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think he deserves another opportunity, nor do I think he'll get one. He'll be kept around as an emergency if about 12 players all get injured. Doesn't even sound like he's training from what people have posted, and he hadn't been seen in training for ages in the second half of last season either.

Guest Posted 8 July 2022 Share Posted 8 July 2022 One thing I've been thankful for since Pearson arrived is that I think our squads have been, in general, very likeable. My friends who support other teams always seem to be ranting about one player or another, they all have players they don't like or don't rate at all, whereas that's never really been the case for me. Of course we've had players who aren't great, aren't quite up to scratch, don't fit in with the style of play etc. but in recent years I can't think of anyone I've had an outright dislike for. Until now. **** off Ryan. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be able to shift him, he'll stick around like a nugget of turd that won't flush away, draining our cash like an overinflated bullfrog. ****ing see you next Tuesday Ryan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, only came to build his pension fund. To be fair that's not his fault, it was a terrible decision to sign him and worse than Vestergaard imho, at least he looks like he is trying (very trying!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 He achieved what he came here to achieve, him and Brendan's son signing up Academy youngsters for the agency they both work for.

FerrisBueller Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 What seemed like a shrewd free transfer, an experienced pro in for two years as back up and help for Thomas has somehow (along with a lot of other contracted mediocrity) completely derailed our transfer window this year. There’s no chance he leaves this summer (and why would he?) and We will struggle to even get loan moves for the rest of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not exactly done anything offensive or disrespectful hate is a strong term, but hey, if that's your opinion fair enough! While I am no ITK, if half of what I have heard about his behaviour and refusal to play on occasion is true then he really is a detestable character. Absolutely stealing a living as a footballer nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell it from watching him play, absolutely phones it in and clearly doesn't give a shit, knows his best days are behind him and is just milking the club for whatever he can to save as much money before his career is done. What a cock. it reminds me of the latter days of Micky Adams time here. Terrible error of judgement from Brendan getting him in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafewayFox Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 Has this failed transfer opened up the recruitment teams eyes to the importance of CURRENT form over that nonsensical phrase about winners mentality, when talking about context that takes into account Bertrand somehow playing in a CL final in 2009? He never was the first choice LB at his time of “winning” with Chelsea and we would all laugh if someone said the likes of Nathan Dyer (first player that sprung to mind) has a winners mentality as played a limited part in our title win. I know that’s a simplistic comment but with a bloated squad, learns have to be made or this scenario will be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
