Its his dad isn't it? not Silva himself, he is still training fine.

His dads his agent and likely has moves lined up for him, but sounds like we aren't willing to let him go.
Yeah but as an agent no one says that without running it past the player first. Silva knows what’s happening here and has authorised it. Very disrespectful.

Its common in other countries for the agent to bad mouth managers and the club

We wont know how much Silva knew about him saying it. Tbf Silva has been said to be really good around the training ground and not disruptive

Im not his biggest fan but think we have used him poorly this season just as we did with Iborra

I understand your point but to me I don’t agree. You are responsible for your agents comments - no agent will ever bad mouth a club without their permission and players do it deliberately to hide behind their agents comments whilst getting their views out.

Never mind agent, can you control what your dad says?

I think it more him speaking as his dad then his agent. Vardy’s wife has been vocal about Puel before

There is only so much the player can do

I’m a teacher and my dad would never publically go and bad mouth the education system to the papers, yet alone the school itself. It’s clearly representing the player and I’m not for one minute going to be naive enough to believe it’s not actually the player instructing him to say it

Its a totally different world. No offence but if you dad did have a pop at your boss or the system no one would care

Because its a footballer it gets reported.

Massive money in football means big ego’s and stuff. I can understand his dads point of view but he went around it the wrong way

But Adrien cant be held accountable for his dad. Agents do all kinds of things which are frowned upon. Its just football unfortunatley

I think we can be held accountable when he’s working on his behalf. But I do fully understand all points above
 
I the last 2/3 years the premier league is getting worse. I along with 99% of our fans really dont like Puel’s defensive style of plays but the vast majority of teams are defensive now

I would say Liverpool, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves and under OGS Man U are the only attacking teams in the league. The rest just set out not to lose rather then win

Me personally I dont like any formation that plays 1 striker but its the norm now. Even when we have played Iheanacho with Vardy he hasnt played as an out and out striker.

May be the richest league in the world but they aint half some **** teams in it now
 
Cardiff’s new £18M signing Emiliano Sala was on a light aircraft returning to Nantes from Cardiff last night and the plane has disappeared.

Coast guards and search and rescue have been looking for it with helicopters and still cant find it

Hope everything is alright

Shocking news. Hope it’s alright. These situations rarely have a good ending.
 
As the days go by the search for Emiliano Sala or the aircraft have been so far unsuccessful.

Cardiff showed immense class, respect and dignity towards us when we was going through our darkest moments under similar tragic circumstances

I really hope this tragedy rallies them to stay up this season

So I think a maximum of 7 premier league sides will be left in the FA cup after round 4. That Newport game was frustrating as anything but just looking at the likes of West Ham and Everton crashing out yesterday, Wolves scraping a replay, even Newport getting a draw at high flying Middlesbrough. Definitely seems to be more shocks than normal to put it into perspective.
Looks like Everton played a full strength side as well. Looks like for all the money they have spent they are actually just crap, won’t look good on us if they finish above us in the league

I’ll be honest, I absolutely love the FA cup.

Sorry but it lost a lot of meaning as soon as Spurs were allowed to play home games at Wembley. It used to be every footballers dream to play there, now every premier league player and anyone drawn at home in the cups gets a run out.
