Boo him loudly.!! Let him earn our respect by fighting for our club. 2
Clever Fox Posted 24 August 2022 Posted 24 August 2022 (edited) I'm not sure that was the smartest move by Brendan. Now he's training with a bunch of mates all round his own age. They'll keep his spirits up whereas the seniors would tell him a few home truths. He should have been sent to the under eights, They'd do his head in and he'd come to his senses quickly.

Foxxed Posted 24 August 2022 Posted 24 August 2022 I understand he’s doing what he thinks is right for his career and potential. But he must understand this is only going to make us less likely to sell, lest it sets a precedent. If an outrageous fee comes in then fine but otherwise stick to our guns and wait until the new year to accept offers. 2

Regardless of what happens now he will have lost all the trust of the fans and his team mates alike. I like ur thinking , but I would drag him into the office and give him two options a) either u pull ur head in , and get out there and train and play to ur potential or option b) u sit on the bench with no chance of football until after the World Cup and then only in the under 23s . So the balls in ur court , now get out of my office . 3

I mean I’m not naïve enough to think it wouldn’t get out, all it takes is Fofana, his agent, anyone, to leak it but for the manager to just offer it into the public domain not really sure why he’d do that. Probably to curry favour with the rest of the team. Rodgers knows the players don't like him and are not responding to him anymore, so use someone as the bad guy that the squad dislikes even more than him at present, yep Fofana. Classic deflection mode. 2 2

SafewayFox Posted 24 August 2022 Posted 24 August 2022 Someone else beat me to it but can finally admit to really not liking his ears. I hope when he does leave (it is happening) that someone flicks them during a game to prove I’m not alone. 3

Tom12345 Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 (edited) If he stays and has learnt his lesson, I hope he can be welcomed back by the fans, otherwise the toxicity will spread. We have a unique family culture at the club and we are at the risk of losing it if we start to boo our own players. He should not have done what he did by missing training, for sure. He only just signed a new contract and should be grateful and show some loyalty to the club. But he did have the guts to turn up watching the last game which shows not all is lost. He is just a young lad. If we don’t handle this right, next in line maybe Maddison or even Barnes although Maddison seems more grounded these days and Barnes being a local lad may have a lot more loyalty to the club. I blame the system we have in football where big clubs have the FFP rules in their favour and they are allowed to just walk over to any club, spend or offer the money, and nick good players from other teams that they compete against or otherwise disrupt their preparation like Chelsea is doing to us simply by turning heads and creating toxicity.

Gazzard Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 I'd play Fofona against Chelsea then they will see how bag average he really is. 1 1

We welcomed back Mahrez a couple of times. If Fofana returns and plays to his ability, the fans will get behind him soon enough. 2

Fofana is a terrific athlete and a great prospect but we still concede from corners and we still leak goals with or without him. Is he really that good?
MonkeyTennis? Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 We're falling into a situation where we don't want to sell him, but somehow we also don't want him here either. Its ridiculous. 1
