We wouldn’t get bullied!

Most clubs do that as a matter of course, they dig deep to. The Peterborough owner was talking about it a few weeks ago.Yes and no……it was more a crass interpretation of how the club deeply assess character as well as footballing ability when recruiting…….
It was one comment by a short goal keeper. That's it.I can’t believe people still bang on about the No Dickhead Policy. One of the most successful pieces of guff ever.
We’ll do it won’t we?With all these Germans will we be allowed to play The Great Escape when we come from behind to win?

Who also then went on to be a bit of a dickhead.It was one comment by a short goal keeper. That's it.
Not compared to many other clubs ?To be fair I was referring to the entire concept. The amount of players who have acted like bellends whilst here/leaving along with how many players have had legal issues with us or after leaving us is a pretty good indicator that it’s not the most accurate.
Not sure that’s the yardstick. Players are capable of being great and of being dickheads. Caicedo was a great team player and humble lad when the three Ecuadorians were all together but turned into a total bellend when he got his new agent. Sanchez fought his way into the first team from loan at Rochdale but was then sulky and unable to turn up on time. Trossard was a good club servant who went the wrong way about getting a move to Arsenal. And then there was the guy who haunted Schoosh with his entourage.Not compared to many other clubs ?
Eh !Replaced by a guy who turned the lights out in Ukraine once his staff were safe who went on to bad mouth our owner
What is schoosh with his entourage please?Not sure that’s the yardstick. Players are capable of being great and of being dickheads.

True for coaches too. Humble Graham left us in the lurch mid season. Couldn’t talk to Chelsea fast enough. Replaced by a guy who turned the lights out in Ukraine once his staff were safe who went on to bad mouth our owner and sign Greenwood for his new club.
I think it’s completely wrong to say we have a no dickheads policy and it always makes me cringe. However, that’s partly because people change over time and partly because circumstances change people. I’m just as sure as you we do our homework at the time.
Which, to bring us back on track, I’m sure we are with Hummels (if he wants to come). People change as they age. Who’s to say he doesn’t want to put back in and mentor young players?
