South Shire Fox Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 (edited) Surely the club has told Maresca that Vestergaard at 31, on massive wages, shite and a year on his contract needs to be moved on whether he somehow rates him or not?

MGLCFC Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 (edited) The team building annual golf event earlier in the week saw Vestegaard playing in a 4 ball with Vardy and two others. On not playing very well, Vardy turns to him and says 'Yannick you've got some sh*t on the end of your club' Yannick lifts the club up to take a look, to which Vardy replies, 'No mate, the other end'.

These players have agents who will protect their pay to the death. So basically the fee will need to be the sum of wages from today until contract expiry. To be frank, this may be the only option if we want to remove those surplus to requirements. At least we save on the wages🫶……………….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only his long passes let him down with 3 from 7 completed. Maresca wants to ball moved. He fits the bill better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey123 Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 Surely we could just move Doyle to LCB and put Justin at LB? I don’t get why Maresca needs him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get why Maresca needs him I hear you, however, under Maresca we don't play with 2 traditional full backs in our back four. Doyle is specifically designated to traverse between LB (when we don't have the ball) and LCB (when we have the ball). Problem is with asking Justin to do this, is that he's never done it before, and he is a bit prone to get caught under the ball on crosses. Also, Justin's game is strong in the 'bombing on' department. Doyle tends to sit more, as per the previous comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and whilst JJ's left foot is decent, I think that for passing angles when in possession, it's ideal to have a left-footed player in Doyle's role.

When you know people are losing it When we are still worried about FFP, the player has one year left on his ridiculous wage contract at the age of 31 and isnt a key player in the slightest then yes the club should be dictating whether hes moved on or not. They have a responsibility to safe guard our finances and future. Im sure Maresca would of wanted Barnes to stay but the club took it out his hands, should be exactly the same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 10 August 2023 Share Posted 10 August 2023 At this level I have no problem with him playing out the remaining year of his contract. On the bench when Coady returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make him and if he trains properly and makes himself available to play i.e. fulfills his contract , you have to pay him. I thought everybody knew that.

So we should sell all the players we need to to balance the books, no matter who that is. I agree…. Or is this just another Vestergaard bashing eh, because I’m not seeing it said about others!
