Sure go on making up something I didn’t say. Fits with you making up stuff in your original post too.
It was for a lack of ability. It’s also not as if Woodgate publicly praised his work ethic and attitude in training. The complete opposite of your “doesn’t turn up to training or listen to coaches.” Why would 3 managers in a row praise his effort and attitude if he wasn’t showing up to training and wasn’t listening?
You disagreed with me, while offering up absolutely nothing up in return. Superb post btw.
Making stuff up... except, he quite literally was called out for doing exactly that.
It's not as if Fergie, Meulensteen, Rooney, Neville called him supremely talented, Ferguson going as far as to say he was the most talented youth product he had ever seen, and Rooney saying he was streets ahead of Pogba. It's not as if he was fined at West Ham for making homophobic comments on Twitter. It's not as if Allardyce openly questioned his discipline, or called him the biggest waste of talent he ever worked with. It's not as if then Lazio boss said he had to work harder, and cited his inability to speak or even attempt to speak a single word of Italian as reasons why they moved him on. It'ss not as if the coach's at Ostersund found that when he arrived, he wasn't even in good enough shape for their standards, scoffing pick and mix as he came.
The mental thing is, that's not even an exhausted list. There are dozens of people saying the exact same thing. But sure, it's simply because he wasn't talented enough.
Speaking of making things up: care you point out those managers that said noted a lack of ability? I'm mentioned 6 who support what I've said. And you?
