What does that even mean? It means Asensio isn't a slag and you have to get permission from his father first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting analogy, if you had to guess, what percentage of footballers do you reckon don't need paternal consent before they will partake in some free and easy ow's yer father?

Some time ago I read an autobiography of a lower league footballer and he said that there were many players he played with who hated the game. They were only playing football because they couldn't do anything else. I admit when I read that in the book it did surprise me. However it would not surprise me that some players prefer to sit on the subs bench picking up their wages rather than playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money wasn’t an issue I would never work in the finance world, I just do it to have a decent life. We all love football so we can’t understand footballers that don’t but my brother hates football (all sports to be honest) so it would’ve been like him being good at football and getting paid for it but disliking it. Shame he had too left feet! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the end of the day he was a talented rugby player so he ran with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Seen them saying that the PSG Manager situation might throw this off a bit. That being said, sometimes the club may already have a Manager lined up and informed the player/agent. Similarly to how I'm almost certain they let Doug know SG was going lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Did Asensio ever fall out with Mourinho? Only because it’s possible that Jose could end up managing PSG this summer. Nothing better than a massive word removed managing a massive word removed of a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers can regularly save their jobs with a good run and there was obviously no reason to wait till the Fulham game to sack him. I think Doug signed a new deal because it was improved terms and he knew he can just kick up a real fuss whenever a huge club comes in with a good offer to make sure he leaves, otherwise he's getting paid well to play in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what Mourinho currently brings to PSG if they want to evolve, aside from being a " name ". By all accounts I read, his methods are quite defensive and outdated. Not pretending to having watched his team recently, just going off comments i've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
