Sadly Greenie your post may indeed be the truth.
I do think however if he has been carrying achilles tendonitis and a cracked rib for 5 or 6 weeks then we are judging a player not 100% fit. I share concerns as you know that we have seen him as fit as he is going to get but I am prepared to give him the chance to prove me wrong.
I did have to chuckle, you having a go at him being a gobs***e, I am wondering why it made me laugh! ;D
