To be fair I'd do the same. His 45 minutes against Palace nearly sent us down. If I was him I'd be embarrassed.
He's had plenty of opportunity for that so you think you'd have seen more impetus in such an important match...nope.

I think it's an increasing thing these days sadly. The demands involved with being a modern day pro just are not for everyone it seems, you notice quite a few players these days who just don't seem interested (and that applies in many of the leagues) despite the rewards.Doesn't look like he wants to play football.........anywhere. Unless he continues to pick up full wages on loan which is probably what will happen. He'll go back to Portugal on deadline day and we'll pay towards his wages.
I wouldn't give him a squad number even. He shouldn't be anywhere near the squad as full of holes as it is.
I'm not saying it's so in this particular case, but when you're comfortably set up for life financially, it could be hard for some players to motivate themselves, especially if they have no regional or local ties to their team.I think it's an increasing thing these days sadly.

Yeah decent is the word that comes to mind when I think of Zidane!I was thinking hes just to big. Then thought he's the same build as Zidane who was a decent player.
Oh I agree, if you are unmarried, and in the PL or one of the other big leagues it really would only take a few years on sensible living and by mid 20's you could easily have enough to pack up. Example, was talking to another poster about the Vardy thing the other day, and considering he didn't really start playing properly till the age of 25/26 (I think it was) and he is what 34 now, he is reckoned to worth £14-15m which considering he has never played at a big club and only really been a pro for about 10 years it's easy to see why.I'm not saying it's so in this particular case, but when you're comfortably set up for life financially, it could be hard for some players to motivate themselves, especially if they have no regional or local ties to their team.
Gomes was signed well before Ancelotti came to the club.As for sanctioning the deal think it was between Ancellotti and Moshiri.
That's before his auld girls solicitor got hold of it.Oh I agree, if you are unmarried, and in the PL or one of the other big leagues it really would only take a few years on sensible living and by mid 20's you could easily have enough to pack up.

Oh, so it was Koeman.
