It's Chelseas shirt for next season so is a very recent. Exactly my point claiming "I didn't know" makes the situation worse in my opinion
Well apparently it's their training kit from last season so I wasn't sure of the date of the picture. If it was within weeks of his arrival he could plead some kind of ignorance. Not in the last 6 months though.

Arsenal, west ham and Chelsea. That's the only major no go zones...and maybe pool too the bastards

But He should have known this as a spurs employee.

I've got a friend who's an arsenal fan, known him most of my life but I'm not gonna ever wear that bit of toilet paper .

What an odd thing to do in public

Lucky he hasn't done anything of note for us which is why we are going HAM on him

Honestly think he should be fined 1 weeks wages for that

Happy to give GKN the benefit of the doubt, as much as I hate seeing it.

It's pretty common among the European based players to wear other teams kits.

Players are always exchanging kits after games, it's just a different culture in the English league and is frowned upon to wear them publicly.

Remember Ousmane Dembele only a few months ago going on instagram wearing our current Spurs home kit for a close-to-home example?

Then he should've said that instead of I didn't know

has a barca player ever worn a Madrid top or vice versa when under employment by those clubs do you know?
or any of the over big European rivals?
I'm curious, don't recall seeing it but im not sure.

If George wore a Southampton top and said it was to honour a friend who would care

Really odd thing to do

I know it's a job, there's no loyalty anymore etc, blah blah, but if I was a senior worker for Microsoft, reckon my firm would be ok me wearing a Sony shirt? Is no corporate responsibility expected of players to the club? Because they seem to fall over themselves for their sponsors.

On a fan level, we were fighting with them for the league, even if you didn't think there was a long term rivalry, use your head mate. It's stuff and nonsense but completely avoidable by using common sense

On the friendship thing, ok, I expect to see Michi in the Spurs shirt you gave him. If you haven't given him a shirt, why not? If you have, and he won't wear it, why not? I think we have your answer Georges.

Ultimately it means nothing tho beyond him either being entirely stupid or entirely disconnected from the club he plays for.

Some fans still haven't moved on from Ghaly lol, football fans are like women sometimes, they hold emotional grudges never forget shit.

Well done on being so impartial. You are my hero.

Is that what you want people to say when you post shit like the above?

Really disappointing behaviour. A lot of the fans have actually backed him without him actually doing anything that is worth backing.

It is more of a strange thing to do than a bad thing. I think it just proves he is a bit of an idiot really.

Yeah, but the player's would do well to remember that it is that emotional attachment that allows them to earn a living kicking a ball about. Without these emotional fans there is no professional football.

When the fans stop caring is when professional football is dead and the money train comes to a halt.

These over-emotional fans are the biggest hypocrites which is why i can't take them seriously, our fans have forgiven legends for doing things far worse than this and I suspect that if GKN hits some form next season and scores then these same fans will quickly forget this incident.
