Drenthe ..sacked ?

Not open for further replies.
He was on extended 'compassionate leave' for what seemed like ages during the last month. I've always thought you only get compassionate leave from work in the event of the death of an immediate relative. But anyway, surely when he came back he must have been told that he was on his last warning. And you can't give someone a last warning and then decide it's their second-last warning..
 
Is there going to be any explanation why this feller - who isn't all that and so wouldn't be missed - wasn't binned, say, 5 weeks ago? Just so everyone knew where they stood in the squad and he wasn't corrupting too many youngsters on it?

Intrigued to know the timing of this.

Ferguson got himself sent off left right and centre when we were in the teeth of a relegation batle...the ultimate act of disrespect and unprofessionalism. He could have sunk us. I loved the feller like dont get me wrong, but to gloss over his failings and cast him in a vastky different light to Drenthe is not on.

ON FIELD discretions , DK

Utterly , TOTALLY DIFFERENT ..
 
Perhaps ..

We shall await developments ..

THINK theyre tryna just say , ..

Listen , it hasnt worked . No hard feelings . Madrid were looking to sort us over Gravesen .. Why Rock The Boat ???

Hes gone , DK ..

Honest , Mate ...

Looks like we'll have to mate, because it makes no sense to me at this stage.

He's a prima dona pain in th arse bad example to others - I get all that.

What i dont get is that he's been all that since day one from what i can gather.

My point: he can get the opposition turned when he's on blob and rattle a 30 yarder on his day - bite the bullet for one more game, play him off the bench and then metaphorically take him out the back and shoot him.

Seems a no-brainer to me like, but Moyesies the one getting the £3m per year and he wins us the troph...erm....

I never ever heard of any bad things Duncan did off the pitch, in fact, that he wouldn't pose for pics when doing his charity stuff made me respect him all the more. Duncan took it to the max on the pitch every time, sometimes his temper got the better of him, sometimes referees were out to get him. Comparing that on field effort and desire to carry the fight in what was sometimes a bit of a spineless team is why we loved him, and when he had his days on top form he was invincible - to Drenthes lack of everything except a few 30 second highlight reel moments against lower opposition is unnerving.

When we were well below average Duncan was a light in the darkness, in the current setup he'd have scored well more. Knocking the big man for me - isn't helping your argument at all.

Drenthe was damaged goods before he arrived, we've seen first hand now why. Consider it a bullet missed.

He was unprofessional on the pitch at times. You want to forget it/ignore it to fit the moment? Fine by me. I'll see him warts'n'all. An inspiration on his day; a liiability on occasion. That's the truth of the matter.

And if he'd of been playing for Man United - all the better ey Dave ?
 
Yeah, Duncan's passion getting the better of him was the ultimate act of disrespect for the club.


That huge Everton tattoo on Drenthe's arm is nice, isn't it.

Let him take the piss for one more game. What's the difference after putting up with it for a season's worth anyway? What did we have to lose? He goes on and does the bizz - great. He doesn't - he's gone amyway.

Not seeing this, tbh.

I must be thick.

Maybe he took the piss extra hard, maybe he'd been warned specifically, maybe he did it on purpose to see if he could get one up on Moyes because it was the eve of a semi.

If you're saying Moyes judgement was that this was the straw that broke the camel's back and he was happy to see a trouble maker off the squad because he felt had better impact players in the shape of Anichebe and Straq to turn to on the bench, then I'll happily leave it there and let others judge the manager's decision.

Seems Drenthe tried to 'one up' Moyes by trying it on, on the eve of the semi, believing he was too important to be dropped.

Moyes volleyed him. And rightly so.
