It doesn't matter if its a friendly or not he can go and play for his country like it or not. Its his career not yours. The only thing he owes us is to give is all when he does play for the club. Something I believe he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty simple really. If you don't want to risk players being away on international duty - particularly for clubs at our level - don't recruit them. Good luck to Missilou, playing for your country - friendly or qualifier, it's irrelevant - is the highest honour a footballer can achieve. I'm sure when he returns he'll continue to give his all for the club. If Shez were to leave him on the bench as a "punishment" it would be remarkably short-sighted - the words shoot, in, foot would spring to mind.

If I was in his position playing for another club (to take the emotion out of it) I would have stayed behind to help the club, knowing full well I’ll get to play for my country again. It’s not my debut and it won’t be my last time being called up. Everyone can have an opinion, not stupid, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think describing him as "a bottle job" or a "rat" as someonelse has described him, I think is ridiculously unfair in this instance your more general opinion I will again respectfully disagree with you no problem with that.

Mercater Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I think if he doesn't see himself having a future in the UK leagues, apart from NL, he may be trying to showcase himself and saying you have played a few internationals (albeit not good ones) is an option. Insulting the guy won't help, but it is what it is. Get him back and throw him out on the pitch and hopefully he will do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually said he was a nice guy, doesn’t stop him from being a bottle job about a particularly event. It’s not an insult, he’s a bottle job in this instance in my opinion.

Would do more by staying here and playing a vital role in us (hopefully) staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm…there seems to be an insinuation that he had the choice to stay or go. While we wish him well on his international games, I can understand the resentment, especially if it turns out to be a factor in us staying in the football league and not..

League one forever Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 If only he could play. . . I’d have so much more confidence. He’s done ok, but he alone isn’t the difference. The other ten players are largely very shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
