With all the outcry about footballers receiving online abuse these days, what I’m reading here is just as bad. Who’s to say Ndombele doesn’t read this forum from time to time, or if people show him what’s being wrote here. The guy obviously has some form of mental health problems however minor they may be. His transfer hasn’t worked out, for many reasons no doubt but that doesn’t give people on here the right to call him a fat fuck every chance they get. Let the guy move on and wish him the best for his future. If you don’t have anything nice to say then keep your mouth shut.
I usually keep my mouth shut when I'm typing.
Ndombele though...
Before you spontaneously combust, I jest.
The thing is with Ndombele, he had form for it before his "breakout" season with Lyon. Lack of application may or may not be something to do with mental health, so stating that it's "obvious" is as much an assumption as claiming that he is lazy.
My feeling on this is that his motivation is money and the lifestyle it brings. He's secured himself a millionaire lifestyle, £50M+ over the course of his contract I believe, so he's achieved his objective and no longer feels inclined to push himself.
It has infuriated the fanbase for 2 reasons, one is that he's essentially taking the piss, two is that he has the talent to be one of the greats.
Lastly, to compare this to the outcry against online abuse players get, and state it is just as bad, is just wrong. There has been no racial abuse on here, which is the main form of abuse that has been highlighted as an online issue, nor have any threats been issued to him here. It might be distasteful to you, but it's a simple scenario here. If you don't like reading it, avoid the thread instead of trying to dictate to others what they should or shouldn't say.
