I doubt he's arsed in training because on the rare occasions he gets on the pitch he just strolls about grinning putting very little effort in, hence why he's been loaned out twice and sent back. Pep has clearly given up on him.I’m sure he’s training hard every day, the fact he’s picking up 150k a week for doing so is not his fault. When we signed him he was Leeds best player and England’s best midfielder
I expect he’ll get a game v ExeterWe have no players & still can’t get a game. He can’t be that bad
Didn’t he have an Achilles injury similar to Kovacic? Doubt any club in the summer would have entertained signing him.None, but he should be telling his agent to try and find him a club where he'll play. I think he's more interested on sitting it out with us than playing football. Total waster.
Think they'll take him if we offer them enough?he shouldve signed for rags he'd of been their best player
People should be happy in their work :-)I doubt he's arsed in training because on the rare occasions he gets on the pitch he just strolls about grinning putting very little effort in, hence why he's been loaned out twice and sent back. Pep has clearly given up on him.
It's a mythstery, as Toyah once sang : |Didn’t he have an Achilles injury similar to Kovacic? Doubt any club in the summer would have entertained signing him.
Not sure anyone has asked Pep about his fitness since!
He'd be alright in a zoo with a group of sloths.People should be happy in their work :-)
Cute opinion. He is not interested in earning a fraction of his current pay to play football. That's sillyNone, but he should be telling his agent to try and find him a club where he'll play. I think he's more interested on sitting it out with us than playing football. Total waster.
Depends how you define ambition.Why is he still here, does he have no ambition whatsoever? Needs to finds himself a club.
Seems from reports there are a few like that Stones, Ake, Bobb, Ortega etc would any of them leave for a pay cut. I think we tried in the summer to move players but if they're on contract?Cute opinion. He is not interested in earning a fraction of his current pay to play football. That's silly
There are no incentives ro do that. He is not trying to make the English WC squad or anything. This is a job. And he is at the peak of his potential pay. Why the hell would he give that up to satisfy some random people's wishes. He can enjoy good football at tge sunday league pub if he wants.
If a team comes in for his service and between that clun and City his current wages are covered, of course he'd go. But yhe idea he should forgo 50 to 75 grand a week for 2 years just so he can say, i am playing... Is silly on every level and i dont understand why some fans dont get this
This is his job. It might be your fantasy. But its his job. And his #1 Interest is himself.
Indeed he has served no purpose what so ever a total waste of money in both fee and wages,I’d just release him..What a thoroughly, totally,horrendous piece of transfer business signing this guy was. Abysmal transfer.
I’d get him on that bench and make him start earrning some money back and the surely he is capable of doing somthing considering our crisis .Could he do a job on the bench/versus exeter for us as we try and ride this injury crisis out? What does he actually do on a daily basis? He was on the bench for league cup games and then has kind of disappeared.....
He might be FAT off living the dream!Depends how you define ambition.
I reckon there's a fair few people on here who wouldn't take a reduction in wage to have to actually do some work.
If hes got a lovely family and is happy in his home life, then hes not fat off living the dream.
They want to secure Derby’s record.Seems that Wolves are not only keen, but keen on buying him.
What would you if you were him mate ?A model professional? He's stealing a living and not arsed about leaving any time soon.
Ake will leave for playing time. He is interested in making the WC team. Bobb is young and wants to make a name for himself. Brsides his contract isn't that big and this isnt ( in his opinion probably) his peak. Stones, Ortega and Phillips this applies to.Seems from reports there are a few like that Stones, Ake, Bobb, Ortega etc would any of them leave for a pay cut.

IF he can stay fit, Ake will be getting plenty of playing time here…Ake will leave for playing time. He is interested in making the WC team. Bobb is young and wants to make a name for himself.

Older players past their prime but making prime pay check. You only have 1 or 2 years pf prime money lwft. Why give it up? You can go on and play at the lower levels for years after your contract till your body gives up.
That's on the clubs for signing a player to contracts they cant live up to.
Yeah, no. I meant before when he wasn't getting time, he'd have been willing to move because he had other considerations beyond his paycheck at play, i.e. making the WC team.IF he can stay fit, Ake will be getting plenty of playing time here…
