I don't think you actually think first before make the post.[Some] players given the option chose not to go to Mata’s restaurant, instead spending time doing something they actually want [be that play Playstation or spend time with their actual friends/family] but you think ‘marginal gains’ could be made by forcing them to rock up to events they rather wouldn’t.
I’ve worked in a few industries & some of the most productive workers were ‘anti-social’ where as others who were more than happy to socialise at every opportunity were far less efficient.
Forcing colleagues to attend functions is more likely to p*ss people off from my experiences.
This obsession with justifying making footballers do every/anything because of what they get paid needs to stop.
I’m not on the £100k a week some members of the squad are so yes I’d love an invite to Mata’s restaurant along with his wages - I fail to see your point.
Missing a ‘team bonding’ session isn’t missing a club mandated hospital visit or ceremony - if they don’t want to go, they shouldn’t have to & hailing Maguire as some Captain Marvel for this when he made Batshuayi look like R9 earlier in the season is rather laughable.
Should this translate to cohesion on the pitch I’m all for it but this surely isn’t big news.
The point that I was making is that lot of workers are only getting around 70k-200k per year salary and they barely even manage to buy their house with that salary in a single year, anyone with such a salary will be pissed if one of their worker decided to make such a rule that cost my salary. If I got 100k per week, I don't give a damn if my worker decides to make such a rule since it's for the sake of the team as well. And remember, it's not like the money is going to the club, the money is going to be donated to charity.
You are some obsessed with this Maguire. No one really calling him like captain marvel & no one exactly saying the decision is critical, it's just one of many thing that the captain saw what's something the team needs and he addressed it. Why don't you just think about the decision could actually benefit to create bond in the team. Fred made statement couple months ago about the group lacks the sticking together mentality.
You definitely only watched the highlight. Batshuayi only had 1 minute moment from his goal which makes you think he looks like R9, when clearly the rest of 89 minutes he was bossing Batshuayi. I could show you 1 minute moment of Fellaini looks like Zidane or how Figo made O'Shea looks like Ronaldinho.
