What is it with this player ? It's the end of November, and he STILL isn't fit/in the " right place ", etc. Is he still being paid ? Russell Martin talks about " improving his conditioning ". !!! So, is he taking his Bob Martins every day ?
I think I heard it said on the radio last evening that he’s physically fit, it’s more about being ‘fit’ in respect of his ‘attitude’
" his attitude ". Now I'm even more confused. What does that even mean ? Is his " attitude " having a deleterious effect on other players ? If so, he should be dispensed with asap. Swansea have always been good at bringing in the right type of player who fits seamlessly into the Club and it's environment. It appears that perhaps this one slipped through the due diligence net. It's such a pity, because he's a good player.
I think what they were trying to say (on the radio) is that as well as being physically fit, there is ‘mental fitness’ - the ability to focus on doing your job on the pitch for the full 90 minutes - ie what is expected of you. Andy Robinson correctly ‘predicted’/suggested - towards the end of the first half in his radio commentary last night - that the Barnsley players could eventually become (mentally) tired of chasing shadows, become ‘leggy’ and gaps open up. If that’s not the case here, and he’s a disruptive influence - hopefully not - then I agree with you. He should be let go …
Perhaps he needs some proper counselling. Anyway, I've had enough of this thread. I'm emotionally drained, can't decide what to have for lunch, so wtf do I know.
