Addressing myths for confused Leicester star Wesley Fofana
By Damon Carter
There has been no acceptable reason given as to why Fofana is unable to play
According to Brendan Rodgers, it was decided between himself and the player that Fofana should not play against Southampton. This is unacceptable from both Fofana and Rodgers.
Is the thought of all the money he could have in his bank account weighing him down and making his legs sluggish? Is the possibility of playing Chelsea making him nauseous? Are the bright lights of London already affecting his vision?
Other than a complete lack of professionalism, I cannot see why he was not made to play and do his job and we should all be asking the same questions next week at Stamford Bridge when the team news is announced.
Brendan Rodgers might also be seeing a big Fofana transfer as his ample opportunity to get some transfer incomings and enabling this pathetic behaviour to help him engineer the move. Rodgers constantly mentioning a lack of transfer activity in every interview might have revealed his hand. This is a typically limp and soft approach, thinly disguised as firm action from the under-pressure Northern-Irish boss. With results sorely lacking, maybe a new manager might have a better idea of how to handle it.
Chelsea is not Fofana’s dream move
Sorry Chelsea fans, but Fofana has mentioned your club amongst a cluster of other names when talking of his dream move with Actufoot:
"“A club that makes me dream? There’s Marseille, Real Madrid, Barca, in the Premier League, there are Chelsea, [Manchester] United, [Manchester] City”"
One amongst six certainly dilutes his message, but it does bring some water to my eye – mainly through laughter. All of this is no surprise to Leicester City as he acted in a similarly petulant way when engineering his move from Saint-Etienne. But the way Leicester City conduct their transfer business should be no surprise to him either. He’s playing a dangerous game with a stubborn football club and could easily wreck his World Cup chances with his renegade actions. Interestingly in his Actufoot interview, he went on to say:
"“But you have to work to make your dreams come true. Through work, you can achieve anything.” Next: Fans will be delighted as talks open for star’s new contract"
Keep this in mind that as the former Saint-Etienne man sits in the stands not working, whilst trying to engineer a move away, the owners continue paying his wages. This is not a man of his word.
