Ten players in a similar situation to Crysencio - can you explain what you meant by that please? Everything that I had to say, I already said it. You ask me about the case of Summerville of which I'm not sure how the information was obtained. I have no other option but to answer on that case based on the information you guys have. No way am I going to make public the cases that haven't been made public. In the case of Summerville, in no way did I make that public. I don't know who makes these things public and with what intention they do it. What I do know is what I have to resolve: you ask me if Summerville had offers to leave, which you already know he had offers - and all I can do is do what I had to resolve. The only thing I do know, if that if he didn't leave, it's not that I forced the club to keep him in. I clearly said to him if he wanted to leave, the best thing for him to do was to leave. And I say that to any player - be very careful how you interpret what I say because it's the most natural thing in the world and a person wants to evolve, they consider that the place where they are is not going to allow them to evolve, and they've found a problem. That happens in all laborious situations, constant, and there's nothing wrong with it. The desire of someone not continuing, nor my position, if you don't want to be here then what sense does it make to stay. And of course with all of this being made public, it's no good for anybody, not for me, not for Summerville, not for Leeds, but you have to see and understand the footballing world to know who made it public and what are they looking for when they make it public. I'm not accusing anybody or demanding any behaviour, that was wrong, what I'm saying happens at every club constantly. And as it's made public I have the responsibility to tell the truth. What I can't answer you is who the other ten are, because the last thing I want is this to be commented on.
Looks to me like Bielsa is having a go at agents, without explicitly mentioning them. I get that. If a player has an agent that sets up situations like this, I'd want him gone, because the agent has revealed himself to be underhand & working against the club. I'd never sign a player managed by that agent again.
Here you go Este. Question regarding Summerville and any other players wishing/wanting to leave starts at around 34:10
Really? Their statement makes no mention of this ..... "West Ham United unreservedly condemns the actions of our player, Kurt Zouma, in the video that has circulated," the club said. "We have spoken to Kurt and will be dealing with the matter internally, but we would like to make it clear that we in no way condone cruelty towards animals."
