Especially if you didn't want the player any more. Sure its like Reo Coker vs MON all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: that does not read well at all This is why I don't really buy it. If someone's shown themselves to be so hot-headed and rash that they get physical with their boss, seriously enough that they're banished from the first team for years under 3 different managers, why would you have them hanging around as a bad influence around the u21s?

Popular Post useless Posted January 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2023 From what I saw Guilbert was great with the U21s, put in a lot of effort into the games and you could see he was somewhat invested in how the youngsters were doing, encouraging them, consoling them when miss chances and so on. Basically looked like he set a good example. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its why I have no panic over this window. A good manager works better to get his ideas across with 19 senior players than 25 as the 19 will nearly all be involved in match day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Two way street. People like Guilbert come to England because a mid table Championship club that doesn't even remotely look like getting promoted can give him a contract better than what he has and will ever get in the top level in France. Saying that, bombing players to the U23s is just poor form and stems back to the Lambert years where it accomplished nothing except giving the club a bad name and reputation amongst professionals, having players dig their heals in "**** you then you can pay me up" and reducing their value. We should have just paid him up 6 12 18 months ago. Another player come for X amount, paid too much and sold at a loss. ...but Purslow got 20m for one of the highest rated kids in the country so it's fine. He's a genius. Well done Purslow.

If you don't play in Europe it makes very little sense to have a big squad. You are mostly playing once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes very little sense to have squad fillers or backup players, if you can’t trust them to perform on the pitch it’s pointless paying their wages, hence why we’ve shifted our deadwood.

Xela Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I don't mind Fred, but he could have lowered his wage demands and left ages ago, i would wager. He chose to stay, and he has every right to, but don't then complain that the club won't pay you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
