Mason started Tanguy in his first game and he turned in a poor lethargic halfhearted performance. Is it really that hard to believe that the guy who has slacked off preseason was already slacking off when Jose got fired? If anything I’m starting to think the criticism of Mason was way over the top and he may have been right to see the effort wasn’t there anymore.Mason coming in and leaving him out of the team was a disgrace.
I'm not surprised he's pissed off.
He will probably has to turn up to training etc as part of his contract, otherwise he could be fined. Doesn’t mean he has to try hard at training to fulfil his obligations!Taking part in full training today. You’d think if he’d totally downed tools that wouldn’t be the case. All very odd.
Thankfully most players' agents aren't as stupid as Charlie Kane.Taking part in full training today. You’d think if he’d totally downed tools that wouldn’t be the case. All very odd.
Has anyone said he'd downed tools? Thought he'd just said that he wanted to leave?Taking part in full training today. You’d think if he’d totally downed tools that wouldn’t be the case. All very odd.
I'm finding it hard to see any club, especially in this climate, willing to take a chance on him.Mason started Tanguy in his first game and he turned in a poor lethargic halfhearted performance.

Isnt that source decent?

fwiw the name I keep coming back to is Jonathan de Guzman - used to play for Swansea. you can read the full thread about it here, but to summarise the player has a problem, the club find that inconvenient, and they make his life hell because they just presume he's faking it. to me, something like this (not as severe as a hernia but something else) makes much more sense than "professional athlete forgets how to be athletic". do you know how much effort it takes to be an athlete at any level, let alone the Premier League?
it's just baffling that a lot of blokes i see who can barely get their replica kit over their belly are so sure the problem is "he can't be arsed".
Whatever it is, he's had it since a youth player. It's a "condition" that follows him around, and hasn't come up in several medicals.
Sadly, this all reminds me of Ozil situation at Arsenal.
All the ability.
Not so much the application.
I can see us lumbered with him until next year when he goes to a Fenerbache type club with us paying a large percentage of his wage
again, i'm not saying it's a hernia. i'm saying we don't know these people and yet everyone's a behavioural psychologist lol.
also, the amount of effort it takes to go through youth football to eventually play for a national side is staggeringly rare. either he's so talented that he didn't have to try (in which case fucking hell, let him do what he wants) or maybe it's not just "he can't be fucked".
