Why’s he a waster?

Club gave him a contract and he’s honouring it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
…..by not playing week in week out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not his choice though is it?

Should be playing for a lower rank club enjoying being privileged enough to be able to play pro football.

Qatar is on the red list…..

It is irrelevant as to whether it is his choice. What he is choosing to do is take a ridiculous amount of money for nothing in return. And that is his choice and Rio has a very valid point.

Do I blame him? No. That is purely down to the total incompetence of Ed and Judge.

He doesn’t pick the team does he?

Of course Jones is right. He didn't want or choose to be injured. Why should he give up his wages, he has a family and wa'and to make them secure.

You can’t blame him, neither do I, it’s what most would do.

Who’s to say he isn’t training to the max and ole just doesn't fancy him? If you were getting a top wage in a company near the top of its field , and we’re doing the background work but not getting recognition then wouldn’t you see what’s happens, especially seeing you’d had some success (and failure) before? Or would you jump ship to another lesser company knkwing the rewards weren’t nearly as good, but the recognition might be?

It’s an interesting question.

If I were off sick almost all of the time but my company still decided to extend my contract and pay me a huge salary, even though I showed no sign of being able to come back to work, I definitely wouldn’t leave the company to be off sick for a much much smaller salary somewhere else. That’s if anyone would even employ me. Why the fck would I.

It’s hardly like you can even say ‘you should have pride and want to play, leave to play more’ because he is always fckin injured.

Be injured and not play on a huge wage, or leave and be injured for less money. The only mug in all this is Woodward.
