[Albion] Fab and Welbeck Fallout?

[ROSM]

There are 100% people on this board who know players or club staff members.

However, they would never post such a specific and uncorroborated rumour and therefore I also smell BS.

The squad doesn’t look particularly happy though.

I would like to point out that last night I commented on team.spirit not being great. That was based on nothing more than how they looked on the pitch and isn't a reference to me having heard anything (which I havent).

Like you, I just felt it doesn't look/feel right

Thank f*** for that. They didn't look happy in the winless runs under Potter or during this shambolic spring and they better not look happy the next time they f*** up a number of games either. Its good they don't like not winning and feel that it matters.

Obviously there are players in our somewhat bloated squad that aren't happy. Someone like Jakub Moder, who in September said he stayed because the manager wanted it, must be less than happy. Likewise someone like Fergie must wonder why he's kept around if he's barely going to get on to the pitch. So I'm sure there's a little bit of tension but hopefully a bit of squad fiddling in January can sort out that particular issue.

No smoke without fire imho.

RDZ "fell out" with everyone from January 24 to him leaving if you believe the rumour mill

And Dunk was so unhappy during one losing run he was leading a player mutiny apparently.

Cant see anything on here about it, but have heard from a reliable source that Fab and Welbeck have had a big bust up on the training ground about Fabs treatment of Ferguson in training being to harsh on the lad. Has anyone else heard about this?

I did hear a rumour that there's too many Mumsnet on here that are preoccupied on talking bollox!

No but I've just read about it on NSC, so it must be true, and I don't believe anyone would make this up just because both Welbeck and Ferguson were not in the matchday squad yesterday.

One thing that I did find odd last night was that when the Brentford keeper was down injured, Mitoma and Estupinan both trotted over to the east touch line and took swigs of water. The stoppage was quite lengthy and yet in all that time standing a few feet from each other they didn’t talk once or even make eye contact. Not saying they’ve fallen out but it just seemed strange that they wouldn’t use that time for a chat given their partnership is one of the more important ones. Maybe it’s a language thing.

Just you it seems. I will file it under fake news.

I'd also put it under attention seeker!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Still think my favourite story was a NSC poster who was in a pub and happened to bump into a medical professional who treated Danny Welbeck at Newcastle A&E.

 

[Don Tmatter]

He's already had a suspension for accumulating yellow cards, I'm not sure how anyone can really make that judgement at this point. We've hit a serious dip in form and there's reports of about 5 players being unhappy.

No smoke without fire imho.

Didn’t he have the most or 2nd most yellow cards in the German 2nd Division last season, it was remarked upon by PBOBE at the fans forum back in the summer ?

TBF, that was probably a more credible rumour!

 

[Lawros Lip]

Maybe the bust up will appear on one of those training videos! Honestly if someone ‘working at the training ground’, in whatever capacity, is genuinely spreading this sort of stuff they should probably consider their position.

I burnt my toast this morning and there was smoke but no fire…hope that helps

Ah, that explains it .... I was looking out of my bedroom window earlier and thought we had a new Pope

There is often no smoke and no fire though. And if it there is smoke, it comes from the Bullshit Smoke Machine.

I don't think I'm the only person who has been made privy to Albion information in the past and the one thing I would never do is place it on here. Anyone remember the leaked team list ? That ended well. If something is true then the source should be respected and the news kept quiet. Not published in NSC to see how many likes and interactions it gets.

Funnily enough i said the same to my wife during the "stretching circle" warm-up. We looked apathetic and half hearted, the camera then panned to Brentford's circle and the difference was more than noticeable.

To be fair De Zerbi falling out with everyone is a bit more believable.

Spot on.

Ayari having a go at everyone within earshot shortly after coming on is the case in point....mind you, it was a delicious ball squared across the six yard(ish) line and not one of our lethargic(pedro) players made an attempt to anticipate it.
Can't blame the new bloke(kid) in charge, it was pedro, who will be the new 'escape coat' until some one else rattles my cage

Two supporter friends of mine have each had this Welbeck rumour from independent reliable sources.
