Why do people keep saying play for the reserves? As though playing a reserve game is a punishment. I'm sure the reserve regulars would be a bit narked to hear you wanting to fob him off into their team.
He should be brought back and made to train and put in some effort to get back into the squad. If he doesn't try I'm sure the club has the ability to sack him and claim costs for breach of contract.
Unless the same guy who wrote the Joe Hart loan deal drafted Robinho's too?
I don't agree with what he said but I do understand where he's coming from.
He was hailed as the best thing since sliced bread when he arrived. He was put on a pedestal and hailed as the new saviour. His name was chanted at every game and his name was the most popular on the shirts.
Then it went a bit pear shaped and he was knocked off faster than the new utd. shirts in a Chinese sweatshop. Everyone was on his back - he was jeered as he came on or left the pitch. He went from one extreme to the other. The press loved slagging him off as much as most of his once adoring fans did.
He moves back home and is a instant success. He is a hero again and is loving being there. I know he should be trying to get his form back here but he is a human being and being kicked whilst he was down is going to hurt no matter how much he cost or earns.
How many of you would want to go back to the same place of work if you were being slagged off all of the time, got talked about behind you back and generally felt unwanted and pissed off. Especially when the place you were temping at thought you were fantastic, patted you on the back every morning and told you what a valuable employee you were. The other guys thought your were a good laugh and always asked you for a pint after work on friday. Ok the pays not quite as good but its enough to pay the mortgage and bills and still have a bit of beer money.
It's not quite that simple I know, but you get my point I'm sure
