Bollocks. I’m not weaponising anything.
Nobody knows what his problems are.
If he’s not a fat, overpaid slob, what else is it?

There simply has to be mental health problems with this lad.
His behaviours don’t make any rational sense.
6kg overweight even for an amateur sportsman is pretty bad. He will have access to the very best dieticians and fitness coaches.
If not, then he should burn in hell for wasting a God given talent through laziness.

So what are we actually doing here? :confused:
 
I love the quote where he says he'll prove himself to everyone very soon. As if he's spent his entire career until now just biding his time.

This is a guy who reportedly requested a transfer from Spurs just weeks after his arrival.

I think he has mental issues and he has turned to food for comfort. I think he is depressed at the way his career has gone and doesnt want to be in Turkey.

He didn't have to say yes.

He has an element of choice in everything he does.

Actions also have consequences and his career is where it is because of him. And nobody else.

Depression is a mother fucker and menatal health complications are of course valid, but continually doing the same thing over and over has to be on you.

You only have to look at him sauntering around everywhere at a snail’s pace to see how much effort he must put into his training and his career.

Talent is worth nothing without effort and application.

He could be plain lazy. I said that.
I had poor mental health a few years ago and just couldn’t be bothered with anything that required any effort, for quite a few months.
I think labelling him as inherently lazy without knowing anything else about the bloke other than he’s a “fat cunt on a big salary” is perhaps a little hasty.
I’ve commented negatively about him and his attitude from a very early point in this thread but he just can’t seem to break out of whatever malaise he’s in.
And it’s ongoing with him. I hope whatever it is with him, he sorts himself out. He has talents most people can only dream about.
No matter how much money he earns in his career, he will regret not making the most of himself
He could have been on a lot more money if he applied himself. He seems unable to.

I appreciate all that and it’s very reasonable.

But the bloke is just a wanker. He won’t give a flying fuck that he didn’t make the most of it. He’s been going through the motions his entire career, got lucky after a few good games here and there and lives the high life on that basis.

I wish no ill on the bloke but whatever happens I want Spurs to find a way to make him earn every last penny from now until the day his contract expires. Whatever they can do within a legal framework, whether that’s serving beers or doing school visits every day I don’t care. Just don’t give this thief an easy ride.
 
The videos of that cunt walking about just shows what he is. Get a bit about yourself you fat waster. I despise that in a person and when it’s a professional athlete it’s just a disgrace.
 
Has he had any public interviews regarding his career/attitude where he has explained what’s going on?

I'm neither here nor there on Gordon Ramsey, or his pre-meditated, planned career path... he was probably put up to it by the prodcuntion company, 'cos it "made good telly" ...BUT HE DOESN'T half come across as a right cunt for stuff like this!

Anyway, I'm sure when the Ross Kemp stuff finally comes out, he'll plead insanity!

Seems like the Turkish fans have the same view if their gifs are anything to go by.

I think he just found a way to beat the system...

...he's already probably earned enough to retire on... let's face it, given the same amount of talent, and money thrown at us for it... who else wouldn't try pulling the same stunt?

Except that most of us who even just had a fraction of his talent would have put the effort in to maximise a career doing what we love

And that’s the point
I don’t think that he does love the game
It was always just a means to and end and, in that respect, he’s been successful
