He's played something like 56 games in 2016 alone, he deserves a big rest. Hopefully he grasps peps ideas quicker than sane seems to have done.

Not at all,many of my friends call me that lol, but i honestly dont care, because i truly love my club,but thats me honestly. Brazil is a traditional footballing country, and we take great pride in that, which is why we tend to focus way more on our own league and teams, and dont care alot about others...although i personally disagree with it, because i love football, and the best football is played in Europe, If you see the quality of teams in here, i think you guys would probably cry lol

Unlike places like USA and East Asia, football is ingrained into South Americans' lives and culture like it is in Europe and you are passionate about your local clubs like we have been Britain for 125years+, so it's easy to see why most South Americans don't "follow" European teams and look down on those that do.

I personally find it weird when people "support" teams from different towns and especially different countries from the one they live in unless they've had family links to a club or town. And i find it quite sad that people who have no link to a place or club or country call themselves a "fan" of a club. And we call them the exact same thing in this country - "plastic fans". I think people should have more pride in their local clubs, local communities, the towns/cities they live in and their own country's leagues than to glory hunt themselves off to a club in some far flung land.

I'm a big rugby league fan as well as football and there are a lot of British players playing over in the world's top league in Australia but i don't feel the need to "support" one of the teams just because a player has come from the team i support or comes from the same place as me over here. I'd want him to do well but that's about it. I also enjoy the NBA too but don't have a team that i "follow".

I know it's 2016 and the world is a small place now as fans can be reached via social media in every corner of the globe but it's just something i personally will never get my head around and will never see as anything but plastic and sad and i don't think that's what football should be about. I know not everyone will agree with that, it's just my personal outlook on it (and yes i know that we earn money from these worldwide fans as a club ourselves that takes us forward as a club) and i'm not saying everyone should stop doing it - obviously it will carry on forever now - it's just not my thing.

Don't forget though, buying a shirt doesn't necessarily mean you support that team. It could just mean that person likes football and likes that particular shirt and wanted a more "underground" shirt to wear that his mates won't have so he can look cool when training at the gym or playing 5-a-side.

Thats fair enough man, you make some good points, but to me, it doesnt matter if my club is based in England or Japan, i support the club, because i love it and identified myself with it, and since we are living in a connected world, i dont have to be in England to support it. I celebrate, get angry, get sad, get proud, just like every supporter and local fans, and to me, thats what matters, people can call me plastic, but ive been a Chelsea fan for 10 years already, and will never stop being on, no matter what other people call me. Like i said, thats just me :)

Complete bollocks. That's like saying you shouldn't support any f1 Driver if you aren't from the same city as them or related to them? Can't support an nba team because I'm not from America? What's the point watching it then. People can support who they like.

I went to Morocco last year and watched a city game with a few locals who all had city tops and it was a top experience. Might not have the knowledge as a local city fan but to say they can't support a team purely based on the fact they were born somewhere else is just stupid.
 
Plastic fan is a term I've only ever heard on the internet. Typically by a Sky 4 supporter that doesnt go to matches themselves.

We've always had a strong, loyal, foreign supporter base that have been made to feel welcome by match going blues.
 
Forgive me if this has been mentioned before which I'm sure it has, but when exactly is he coming here and be available to play? Jan 1st? Jan 31st, or somewhere in the middle?

It has been mentioned a few times but no worries! Nobody seems sure when he will first become available to play. The general view is that he will be given a break first, as he has already played a lot of games, then eased in gradually. On that basis early Jan looks unlikely.

Sticks and stones.

People called me plastic when I switched from Liverpool to Chelsea after a spell following Man U.

Now I'm a Blue, the fcukers can call me whatever they like.
