That’s why he’s just a ‘symbol’ of what’s wrong.
He’s not being portrayed as ‘a’ symbol in that post - he’s being portrayed as ‘the’ symbol.

Personally think Messi and Ronaldo were a level above regardless of Rooneys less than professional attitudeBest 16 years old I’ve ever seen, and I’ve always been of the view that great footballer that he was and great achievements he made but he could have been up their with Ronaldo and Messi chasing regular Ballon D’Ors. So I wonder if he’d had better discipline, less drinking, better exercise etc if he could have achieved more . Or even still be around at approaching 40 like James Milner.
All just idle musing, the memories of him coming through our Academy, those first years with us and the goals he scored will stay forever.
Maybe the thread should be renamed
News of Ex players and staff to reflect the interest in the wider diaspora of people who have left the club for new adventures, or at least allow a little poetic licence in where the best appropriate place is to put these things ?
The original posts were in relation to the obsession with an “ Ex Sporting Director” not ex-manager, where do you draw the line - Ex-Owner, Ex- CEO , ex-whatever?The mods seem to be happy enough to turn a blind eye to the occasional ex-manager related post in here.
They possibly prefer that to someone looking to drag up the Dyche thread...
Fair enough, hopefully there will be anThe original posts were in relation to the obsession with an “ Ex Sporting Director” not ex-manager, where do you draw the line - Ex-Owner, Ex- CEO , ex-whatever?
I think generally we’re a tolerant bunch, every thread wanders off at times and we all get sucked into commenting off topic. I like this thread , people make an effort to report on Ex-players and I find it interesting. I can shrug away the occasional ex-manager post but if people want to post regularly about Dyche, Thelwell, Allardyce etc they should create a new thread somewhere and leave it free for Ex-player reports.
Not news but nice vid.
Rough results, like, but happy for the lad that he’s getting regular footy. Must have felt at one point, at least, that it was touch and go if he’d ever play again.JP Gbamins exploits continue. Last year he was at Nantes then FC Zurich, who finished mid table.
Now playing for yo yo club Metz he's played 9 games this season. Seems to be being used as a centre back or on the left in a back three.
Recent results:
Lost 6-1 to Lille
4-0 to Toulouse
3-0 to Marseille
0-0 at home to fellow strugglers Le Have. They have yet to win a game.
Yeah I've been pleased he's managed to get a career back on track after his injury woes here.Rough results, like, but happy for the lad that he’s getting regular footy. Must have felt at one point, at least, that it was touch and go if he’d ever play again.
