Scoundrel sets a bad example

It’s football. It lives on gossip.

True, Lenny is a sheep worrying Lurgan loon.

Luiz has been banished

Does Luiz have the same agent as Edu and Willian?

What are people most worried about? The
fact that there is a "rat" or that there is something to "rat" about?

Players talk to their friends and agents... Could be anyone

Exactly. It could be anyone and it is legitimate to assume that if a player is not happy, regardless of the reason, they would talk about it to either theirs agents or relative.
But once again, the focus is on the "rat" rather than the cause of it. Strange.

We've currently got one of the biggest squads I can ever remember us having. Of COURSE there's going to be players moaning because they're not getting games - if there wasn't supporters would be using that as an alternate stick to beat the manager with.

Find it incredibly ironic that people are here moaning about rumours of players moaning, when all *ahem* 'some of them' have done is moan since the day Arteta was announced as head coach.

On flip side, players probably moan to agents and have disagreements all the time even at successful clubs. But because we’re in crap form this is perfect click bait story for the media to push hard on, only really is newsworthy to report disagreements if the team is playing crap. Might be something that isn’t as much of a big deal that’s it’s made out to be

Exactly.

You could be right, it could have been made a big deal because we are playing crap or because the manager decided to fuel the stories by claiming that he'll destroy anyone who's leaking them.
He is going to war against them and that it is enough to make it a big deal.
Look like he hasn't been as wise as you and just ignored them.
