Players You Hate at Your Club

[Stan]

I think for a successful side this is probably a more difficult question. 

 

For me, currently at our club, would be Danny Ward, James Justin and Wout Faes. 

They offer more to opposing teams than our own, and are more of a detriment on matchdays. 

Who do you hate? Who, if you were in charge, would you be looking to sell immediately? 

[CaaC (John)]

At this moment in time, it has to be Rashford, that young guy had the world at the end of his feet but seems to have blown it all away by his attitude and you can't blame managers, before Amorim he fucked ETH around.

A lot of footballers do charity work and enjoy it and they still contribute to the team matchday but Rashford seems to like the limelight of his charity work more than football.

I would throw in Harry Maguire and Antony too, mind you, Maguire has improved a wee bit but he still is a prick.

Casemiro and Eriksen are past their best but when Amorim keeps pairing them together in mid-field he needs a boot up his arse out of the door.

I don't hate any players and I know that's not how this thread is meant but it really bothers me seeing people say on social media things like "I hate Player X" or "If Player Y starts today I might jump out of the window". You're naive if you don't think these players ever see these comments or their friends/relatives don't.

I don't have any ill feeling toward any of our current players but I wouldn't lose any sleep if I never saw Jack Harrison line up for us again after his form this season. I don't feel sad about the prospect of many of our players leaving to be honest apart from Pickford, Branthwaite, McNeil and Ndiaye.

Ward is a disgrace. I've no sympathy for him even after the reception he got last week - he's taken millions out of this club for absolutely nothing. The clubs fault for offering it to him but he's made no attempt to better himself.

Justin I just cannot believe how bad he is. He wouldn't get in most Championship teams these days. Wasn't particularly good in that league last season either. I'm fed up of our persistence with crap players.

[MUFC]

When you say hate, for what reasons? Performances or general attitude? Rashford, high paid lazy bastard. For some reason it's only over the last 12 months that he's started getting criticism from pundits and the commentary team. Fuck knows how he got away with it for so long, there was too much emphasis on him being a local lad. In this country people tend to get a hard on over a local player. 

As shit as Antony and Maguire are, never really hated them because despite being shit, they always put a shift in and do actually care.

 

[Happy Blue]

Hate? that's a big strong  but i want rid of Stones, Flash, Ake & Gundo because the legs have gone, Nunes & Grealish because they are just not good enough, Ederson because he's not even trying, dreaming about that Saudi cash, and De Bruyne & Bernardo are on thin ice too, Kev need to stay fit and Bernardo needs to play well or they can leave too

Stones, Walker, Ake, Gundogan, Nunes, Grealish, Ederson, KDB, Bernardo should bring in 150mill which id spend on Wirtz

I guess someone who grinds your gears and someone you don't want to see in your club's shirt again. Can be any reason.

None.

Hate is a strong word, so none.

[Gooner]

I don't hate any players at my club, but there are a few I would gladly and happily send off to another club with likes of Tierney, Zhenchenko, Jorginho from top of my head. I do, however have a dislike for our manager, Mikel Arteta.

Just curious, why do you have hostility towards your manager?

Okay, dislike? 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I wouldn’t say I hate any of the current squad.

Player I’d be most okay with us selling is Nunez, I just don’t think he’s good enough and I don’t think he ever will be. But I don’t hate him, I actually quite like him - he works his arse off and he’s pretty well rounded as a player (just dogshite in front of goal, which isn’t great for a striker)

Strange one, he played for my Rangers here in Scotland and did well and with a CV like his why do you dislike him? he learnt a lot from Pep and I gather he will get more honours in his managerial stint. 

You imagine if he had the same amount of dosh Pep has at City to splash out at Arsenal, the mind boggles.

Because I don't think he is good enough to help us win the Premier League or Champions League trophies. I'm not a big fan of his playing style, he's been backed unbelievably well by the owners ans only thing to show for it is a FA cup trophy in his first half of a season at the club during covid, which was won for of him by Aubameyang, the guy he made the club give hig money contract to and 6 months later we booted him out the club for free, paid him off and handed him to Barcelona who ended up getting Champions League place back because of him and then selling him to Chelsea 6 months later for £15 million, absolutely horrible business done by us financially, he has been backed in every department and only thing to show for it is 2 successive finishes in the league which I will give him credit for but we've been poor mostly in the cup competitions and he is basically Jose Mourinho without the trophies to back up his antics with at a number of times boring, mind numbing football my eyes are made to watch.

I'm not sure what his playing career has anything to do with his managerial career, look at Wayne Rooney playing and managerial career so far for proof of that. 

Arteta has spent a fortune in his time at Arsenal and we have one FA cup to show for it is nowhere near enough. 

Do you mean he will just win more trophies in management to add to his CV or that he will win more then Guardiola?

I think a playing career has a lot to do with it, Rooney is a prick and would not have a clue how to coach/manage a team, Arteta learnt a lot from Pep so I still think there is a lot more from him yet, I tell you what I would have Arteta any day at the moment at United and I bet there are a lot of other clubs who would grab him if he left the gunners.

Maybe @Gunnersaurus might say a word here about Arteta, like him, love him, or piss him off

I don't think that in a million years, Pep and SAF are one-off great managers in my time and I don't think I will see another like them 2 before I storm the pearly gates with a bottle of wine.

Rooney worked under one of the best in Alex Ferguson so you'd think he have picked up something from him when playing under him. So far he hasn't learnt the one thing I really wish he learnt from Guardiola ans that's "winning" other clubs are free to come take him from us as far as I'm concerned. I'm willing to risk the ol cliche of "be careful for what you wish for" and get rid of him. Do you have another at least £500 million to spunk on players at Manchester Utd to maybe get one FA cup trophy? 

 

[Dave]

The only player I've disliked to my memory is Adebayor. We paid him about 15 times more than Aaron Wilbraham yet the latter had 15 times the influence. He's the most deluded footballer I have ever seen.

I wanted to double check as I don't think even if anyone was pissed or drugged up out of their mind would think such a thing Sounds like you got it all laid out with the way you want to go and I agree about the two managers in question, definitely two of the best so far with what they have achieved to ever do it.

I am 75 now and could say I have seen it all in my time but you never know, next year United might just 'click' and win them all again.........just saw a pink elephant trying to nick my wine

Was coming to say this. I like Nunez as a person, he seems like a good lad. But my god, he isn’t half frustrating to watch. Clearly has a lot of talent and ability, but there seems to be some massive mental block that stops him showing it consistently. We’ve seen brilliant here and there, but as a club we need it more often. 

[RandoEFC+]

It's been surprising for a club that have often managed to bring in players for £40m-£60m and managed to get £60m-£100m output from them, that when they went big transfer fee wise on Nunez the exact opposite happened.
