Cancel his contract and tell him to F off. We've paid him 5 times what he would of got in Spain over the time period. He was the best I've seen since Martyn but if you refuse to wear the shirt then time to go.

Never really took to him or rated him that highly but always supported him. He is an absolute disgrace though. He may have lost his place in the team but he is still being paid VERY well to represent the club and do his job!!!

There’s a reason why we conceded a lot of goals from corners last year. Never happened at Man U with Shmeichel between the sticks. The fella knew how to command his box. Not sure it really is Vinnies forte. Good luck and move on. Fortunately we have 2 good young keepers to step up. Use the money to replace the talentless Edouard up front.

Ironically that's actually the opposite of the problem. He has talent. We've seen glimpses of it...terrific finishing and skills. His issue is attitude and laziness. He just doesn't work hard enough or get himself into the right positions, unfortunately. Weird to call out Eduoard though and not Mateta, who's infinitely worse.

Disappointing end for a former player of the year, nobody is bigger than the club.

Don't you just love footballers? They are paid an absolute fortune for very little work but they behave like this. Surely refusal to play is a breach of contract and grounds for the old tin tack.

Totally unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour from Guaita and a very disappointing end to his Palace career. One would hope the club terminate his contract for effectively refusing to work and send him on his way if he persists in this behaviour and it has a disruptive effect in the other players A good shot stopper, his kicking and distribution were always quite weak and he did not command his box very well. Far too many balls were allowed to pass through Vinnie’s 6 yard box and he was often hesitant to leave his line. A good player, but certainly no Jackson, Martyn or Speroni I suggest sums up his time with us. So far at least Sam Johnstone looks a good and younger upgrade What I still don’t understand is why Jack Butland was allowed to leave on loan last season and not offered a contract for this year. In the end he was needed last season when instead Joe Whitworth had to step up. Jack was a one-time England international, younger than Guaita and having him and Johnstone challenging for the number 1 made more sense than extending Guaita’s contract by a year at his age. Now of course the club are scrambling around needing a good Premier League standard backup to Johnstone as Matthews is not it, Whitworth is not experienced enough yet and Goodman is out on loan. Another problem to solve along with several others in the squad. You have to sympathise with Roy being handed all these issues to cope with!

I can't recall any player refusing to play, the occasional strop maybe, but refusal to play? Side line immediately and put on the transfer list. if he wants off now, find the clause in the contract, sort out the financial details and ta ta. Edited by southnorwoodhill (09 Aug 2023 8.39am)

Edited by southnorwoodhill (09 Aug 2023 8.39am) Funny you should say this as was thinking the other day about all the dramas you see at other clubs with players doing bad things or slagging the manager off or similar, we seem to have relatively few incidents of that overall. Then VG, who I wouldn't have expected to, goes and does this. Speroni lost his place in our team a couple of times towards the end of his career and never threw a strop and usually won it back eventually. Part of the reason that he's my favorite ever player.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Johnstone showed in the games he played towards the end of last season that he is a very good keeper and less prone to error.
