The Snodgrass thread...

[tigerbalm]

We don't use an agency for social media, those photos were of training ahead of the Man United game and Snodgrass was definitely involved.

Yeah Snodgrass was training that's a fact and the other fact is he did not refuse to play. The club chose not to play him in case he got injured.

Only in football would anyone think, that being offered more money 18 months before your current contract, that you agreed to and signed, actually runs out, is a **** offer. Sorry but footballers are not in the real world and we condone it? I love the game, but will never agree that this is a reasonable way to carry on.

Expecting to be offered a new deal six months before the end of your current deal is perfectly reasonable.

The exercising of an extra year on the previous terms was always the beginning of the end.

Last sentence. Spot on. How can a club hope to keep professional players when they think they can treat them like the workforce at Allam Marine. Whatever we supporters think players aren't supporters. It is their living. If he wants more money and a longer contract and he can get it who would deny him that. Loyalty only unto themselves and I for one don't hold that against them whatever I think about how much money they earn.

Well if that is the case, then Marco is giving us "counterfactual information." That would be much more disappointing to me than Snod refusing to train.

If City were lying about him refusing to play he would have put out a counter statement.

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

It was the club's responsibility to support him under the terms of the big **** off contract they signed despite being in the knowledge that he had the injury.

It was in the club's best interest to support him.

He owes you nothing.

It's his responsibility to not refuse to play under the terms of the big **** off contract he was happy to sign.

Are you implying that Silva wasn't telling the truth?

 

[TygerTyger]

He's 29 and hasn't had a knee problem since 2015.

Wow!
That's over a year!

I've not personally seen Silva claim Snodgrass refused to train, when are when did he make the claim?

That's the mental thing. Folk just make stuff up to suit themselves.

So he hasn't claimed he refused to train then?

You don't know that he didn't refuse to train either.

Ffs given the norm is to train shouldn't the duty of proof sit with those saying he refused

Has he said that too? I haven't read that interview.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Pictures of him training are rather more convincing for me than some knob on Twitter claiming he refused, but each to their own.

Including the manager?

Including the manager?

The manager hasn't said he refused to train though has he, unless you've found another quote?

I've got a direct quote from the manager about Maguire having to play right back against Bournemouth if you want it?
