Surely just saying he's training with the U23's until the matter is resolved is good enough. We are now in a situation where our fan base think he is a ***t based on info given by Brendan in interviews. If Fofana was to stay, which is still very possible, then how does the lad get reintegrated with the majority of our fanbase hating him. We don't know the full facts and we don't know how anyone is really behaving. Snippets like this just make the situation worse. Sometimes its just best to keep your mouth shut? BR chooses his words very carefully, he is an Ulsterman and a politician after all. I wouldn't like to interpret his full meaning but you can be rest assured he thinks Fofana is a juvenile p****k.
daddylonglegs Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 Loving the way Brendan is handling this, fair play

He's obviously been horribly overrated for a while and its finally becoming a reality now. Having said that, it's not his fault United decided to spend the best part of £100m on his services for 5 years or whatever. 2

Its not just based on BR's comments is it though, no one is basing it solely on that. For example he missed a training session, thats a fact from various sources, not something we are just believing because only Rodgers told us

I’ve seen things the human eye shouldn’t have to (like the shîtters in Hereford’s away end). If he can’t “get himself up” to play for me now I’m a well-established premier league team, then I’ll boo the cûnt all day long. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Having lived in Herefordshire for a good while previously have immediately forwarded to all my Herefordian mates. 1

I am not aware of where this has come out apart from those. Happy to stand corrected of course.

The majority of comments about him were always about how overrated he is. He was decent for us but our midfield was a class above ManU's back then and our other main CB was helping him being better than he actually is. Edited 25 August 2022 by Fear Of The Fox
Buzzell Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 I still can’t believe the way Fofana is behaving. We all know deep down that eventually he will leave, that’s inevitable, but he was happy to sign the 5 year contract and also spoke so highly of us being ‘family’ yet his true colours show as soon as a big club comes sniffing. He will eventually get his big move but he needs to understand that Leicester won’t just give in because his heads turned. Until an agreement between clubs are met he needs to sit the fvck down and start acting like a professional instead of being a brat. I had a lot of respect for Wes. Now I couldn’t give a toss about him and I’m glad the club have stuck to their guns. 3

It's a whole generation of young footballers that are uneducated, arrogant and they only care about their pockets and social media. 2

Let not dampen a good history,with hate/dislike… Maguire was a model professional and right to him leaving,he performed & didnt sink the boat or canoe with tantrums.. He was from some corners underrated on this forum,but a tadge overrated from others,when he wore the Manutd shirt. He’s a decent England International & performs well for country…but he has his Amartey moments in the red shirt… keeping to Fofana…his agent isnt doing him any favours, Fofana now will be tagged twice as tantrum-Wes. Due to his actions and attitude in his first two proffesional transfer moves…questions mental strength & character under self responsibility,can he play under pressure… Though Chelsea can afford flops…they have had a few water carrier players, who dropped their career bottle while at Chelsea… Teams like Chelsea,can pick 6 players,3-4 fail who’s bothered ,2 become names. Leicester,A.Villa,Forest havent that luxury, Everton , W.Ham. believe they have… Fofana, I wouldn’t boo,we need 11 badges performing and yes encouraging. stupid to cut off your own nose to spite your face…If after 3-5 games he is still adrift in his thoughts & performance…. 1’ the older players will say enough is enough.! 2) the fans would have the right to show their views ** but for now when selected, say ok big failure made,but you have a 2nd chance to honour the badge…young lad who didn’t have clever people consulting him!! dont boo the lad first up,your boos might be taken out of context teamwise.. & mis-used by media, and not forgetting ruin a lads self-belief,while playing one of the games key-positions…The boos can easily lose the games, and the team..

I suspect the way Chelsea have just slightly increased each bid, are they checking on the temperament of Fontana to see how he reacts under pressure ?. His reaction and his actions to date will not have impressed any employer who is tempted to invest nearly £100 million on a new asset.

Thebluefox85 Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 hope he doesn't get his move and hes in the u23s all season, after a season out you think he would just want to get his head down and play football clearly not just makes me laugh chelsea want to invest so much money on him with an attitude he has,

Yeah but that don't matter to most he was coming to us. New story he's leaving us and it's a bad attitude. Anyone being realistic could see this happening a mile off. No point getting upset, get our price and feck him off.
