Could be numerous reasons why he turned Berlin down, him and his family being settled in the country instead of packing up for 6 months? He's not young with a history of attitude problems, he's had a decent career, I'd be amazed if this is him being an unprofessional **** He's about to fall further down the pecking order and has been behind Amartey all season, I don't think it's got anything to do with fighting for anything. He's digging his heels in rather than doing the right thing, which is seeing out his career by actually playing.
lgfualol Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 We should lower the height of the entrances and door frames so he has to duck every time. That'll teach him. 1

Having said that.... and I do realise that this is gonna get me some stick but I wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team squad, particuarly the younger players. He'd be training by himself. Surely the culture you want to create within your squad is hunger, determination, a willingness to get your head down, graft and to just want to play. That's not an easy culture to promote when you have players seemingly willing to sit back and collect a wage. Ofcourse, this is based on speculated reports and my opinion only applies if there is any actual truth to it. Agree, on the proviso the situation is as it is, ie he's actively being awkward. (which we dont know) If that is the case, then I'd even withdraw training from him. He'd be instructed to turn up for training each morning, but then released each morning immediately upon signing in. That's what Chelsea did with Desailly.

They’ve ****ed us by unsettling our player and forced our hand to buy this bum and now handing out lengthy contracts that they would hope don’t do a Vestergaard and up sticks. If Mudryk fancies it he could do a Vestergaard for the remainder of his career. Mental I think you’re mixing up your summers 51 minutes ago, Jordan said: Wasn’t it more that City accepted a bid from Fulham but Vestergaard didn’t agree to personal terms (because they were offering lower wages than City)? If City just unilaterally decided to withhold Vestergaard’s wages, the PFA would have thrown a shit fit. It’s up to him if he moves and takes a lower salary - we aren’t under an obligation to pay up his contract difference if he leaves and earns less. But that seems to be the debate in here this evening …. Should the player chuck away a few million to play somewhere
Popular Post Bezzanator89 Posted 31 January 2023 Popular Post Posted 31 January 2023 Vestergaard is happy to do nothing on the sidelines and pocket the cash, rather than play for a living in Germany. This isn't loyalty, and he is a parasite. But its what we deserve for our absurd wage structure and panic buying. 5
BACKO Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 He has now had the chance to resurrect his career playing at the highest level in England and Germany. At decent clubs, in brilliant cities. It's not about finance either, he would earn the same money out on loan as we would have to cover any shortfall. It's not like we are trying to farm him off to the Middle East or China. Yeah we have to honour his contract, and that is our big mistake, but those of you defending a footballer that doesn't want to go and play football need to give your head a wobble. 1
SilverFox54 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 He has had to oportunity of a move in this transfer window where he is likely to play but turned it down. So you have to assume he prefers to sit back, do nothing and take the money because he very often isn't even on the subs bench. 1
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Would people stop saying Vestergaard was a panic buy! I do seem to to recall Brendan wanted him at Leicester in the January transfer market in 2020 ( it was said Brendan was a great fan of him). But Hasenhuttl changed his mind and decided to start playing him again even through Vestergaard couldn't play his high press game as they had injuries in their defence. 2

OntarioFox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 38 minutes ago, KFS said: The other option is fully leaning into it with this: Brunt Souttar Vestergaard Kristiansen Have them stand on the line for 90 mins, blocking the goal mouth. Vesty's been here too long, he'd still manage to trap the ball then pass it backwards into his own net.
Jattdogg Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Clearly he doesnt want to uproot his family and doesnt give a hoot if he plays or not. He knows this is the last big contract he will get so why not get paid to be pampered and watch football for free in a prime seat. This is 100% on our recruitment. 4

Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 31 January 2023 Popular Post Posted 31 January 2023 Can we just release him? To be clear I don't mean from his contract, I mean into the wild. 1 6
gurru991 Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 I think that negations will start to come up with a buy out figure that both sides can live with. Hopefully Leicester have learned a valuable lesson with this debacle .

bald reynard Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 Him and Iversen are just being kept to make Kristiansen feel at home. Just Old Man Knudsen who 'speaka da lingo' otherwise!

He is under no obligation to accept any transfer/loan offer. If you want to vent your anger towards anyone, it’s the folk who offered him the contract. Not sure this is relevant to the discourse, but according to a friend who works at the training ground, Vestergaard is a decent chap. He’s polite and courteous. The signing didn’t work out. These things happen. 4
ousefox Posted 31 January 2023 Posted 31 January 2023 This is all our own fault and Vestegaard can do what he want. BUT what a sad bloke he must be. He missed out on playing in a World Cup - that is serious weirdo behaviour. We should chuck him in with the youngsters. No point him stinking out the first team with that sort of attitude. 1

He must have the hide of a Rhino to hang around where he is not wanted. He's going to be obscenely wealthy wherever he goes. How mercenary must you be to sacrifice your own career for a few extra bazillion? I can't relate to it. Parasite. Edited 31 January 2023 by murphy
