Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3467124, member: 8770"] You can think what you like. I've said many times, my view that he is a grub is totally separate from what I think of him as a footballer. It's very. Very easy to separate the two things for me. Considering I was bigging the bloke up before he even played a game for us, even though I didn't like him kind of flies in the face of me having a problem separating the the player and the person. What I believe you are overlooking is the context of was he keeping the injury secret. That's my problem with it. I've got no problem with a player playing through injury if they are asked to do it. Happens all the time. If you are keeping an injury secret to keep playing though, as the article alludes, that's where I think you have an issue. If you can't do your job properly because you are hiding injury, that's where I see the problem. That's not a team first mentality. Again. If we asked him to play through the injury then that's fine, happens all the time. You are sitting down with the clubs medical staff and specialists and you have an educated opinion of what could and couldn't happen and you get a different preparation for games. [/QUOTE]
