Zatman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Swansea City's troubles deepened last night following reports that their centre half Chico Flores picked up a brick during a training ground row with former captain Garry Monk. Twenty four hours after the club suffered a chastening defeat at the hands of Tottenham at the Liberty Stadium, it emerged that Police had been called to the club's training facility on Friday afternoon. They are reported to have taken no action against the 26 year-old Spaniard while the club insist the issue has been resolved. Still, for manager Michael Laudrup, whose side are only three places and as many points off the relegation zone, it is adverse publicity he could have done without. The alleged incident came just days after Flores is understood to have walked out of a senior team meeting at the club. A member of the public, believed to be the mother of a youth-team player at the club, phoned police after claiming to have spotted a screaming Flores brandishing the brick. A statement from South Wales Police confirmed: ˜Police were called to the training ground at around 1.30pm on Friday 17 January. Club officials were spoken to and no police action was required.' A Swansea spokesperson is reported to have said; "Chico Flores and Garry Monk had an exchange of words, which is not uncommon between players in training grounds across the country, but no threats or altercations took place between the players in question." It was the beginning of a desperate weekend for Flores, whose own goal, eight minutes into the second half on Sunday, put Spurs two goals to the good. Emmanuel Adebayor added to his first half header, to secure the points 20 minutes from time, before Wilfried Bony snatched a consolation goal. Monk, 34, joined Swansea in 2004 on a free transfer from Barnsley. He led the side to promotion from the Championship three years ago but has made only one appearance for the club this season, in the Capital One Cup defeat at Birmingham City. this is a bizarre story but wouldnt put it past Chico he has that psychotic centre half look about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Swansea are in a lot of trouble right now, they don't look good on the pitch and certainly do not need this off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2014 Why does the title of the video say (Aston Villa) at the end? Probably because whoever posted it doesn't know the difference between West Ham and Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Fantastic. Good work Big Sam, you win some points for that (man points I'm afraid, not league points, you're still going down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
