An Away Move Posted 3 October 2020 Share Posted 3 October 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, BKLFox said: Says more about the people booing than him I’m afraid. Not really IMO. We’d just put in a shit performance. Vardy came over and clapped the fans shaking his head at the state of it. Silva gave his shirt to someone amongst the opposing fans. It didn’t look good and it wasn’t just a few morons. He got a proper booing as he misread the mood. He felt the need to put out a statement afterwards addressing it.

Tuna Posted 3 October 2020 Share Posted 3 October 2020 Without a doubt one of our most disastrous transfers, a complete waste of time, effort and money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does any player, yet they all get criticised or slagged off one way or another for their performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one off those things, he's done well for other clubs, it just didn't work out here. I get your point but the blame game doesn't really achieve anything.

AjcW Posted 3 October 2020 Share Posted 3 October 2020 Just because someone has acted professionally when left out of the side. Doesn’t mean you can’t criticise them for wasting their talent and an opportunity in the Premier League. People use the 4 months he had off as an excuse for him. But the entire footballing world just had an unplanned 4 months off and it’s not like everyone has come back and forgotten how to pass a football is it!

You have to lay blame to our scouting team as well. They knew the league he came from was significantly slower than the prem and they misjudged his personal skillset regarding his adaption to the PL as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just hope they haven't repeated that misjudgement with this weeks signing for significantly more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, as I say he has to take a percentage of it. Others take some to. Just don’t think you can absolve a player of any part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendy looked like he was doomed and now he looks like he could be a regular for us as hes worked hard and made brendan change his mind on him. Amartey is another one who has obviously worked really hard after his injury shocker and now looks like Brendan wants to keep him around. Slimani, Silva and Ghezzal have clearly done nothing to show Brendan they deserve a place in our squad. The ridiculous wages Slim and Silva are on probably hasn't helped either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd fans must see us something like we see Sporting after the Slabhead deal. It's a shame Sporting are out of the EL. Would have loved to get drawn against them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected this was the reason he was dropped. Though i think his last game for us was the first game of the season 2018-19 away v Man Utd? I thought it was odd he featured in that game and then no more. Presumably the same scenario for Slimani, to avoid paying any further add-ons?
