Papy Djilobodji

[The Skipper 20,609]

So you've defended someone despite acknowledging that they're not in charge of much? If that's the case how can you defend them if the measurables are so hard to see from the outside?

And how on Earth can the technical director role of such a big club be described as not 'being in charge of much at all'? That in itself is a damning indictment of the way the club is run is it not? You seem to think he is deserving of more credit whilst absolving him of responsibility.

Defend Dorris the canteen lady if you want, I can tell you what she does. You apparently defend Mike and don't know what he does beyond 'assist'

Not having a go but you have to see the funny side. You stick him in your avatar to wind people up but don't know much about him, except that he likes to be called Mike apparently. Is he allowed to decide what he's called or is that further up the chain too?

That is exactly why I defend him - the fact that he doesn't actually decide too much - i.e. overseeing our vision, our identity, the managers we bring in etc; this is all decided by the powers above him - when people accuse him of not doing the aforementioned properly... That is exactly why I think the stick he's getting is unfair.

The only thing he seems to have quite a bit of authority in is player recruitment (i.e. finding targets the manager and the board have set out for the team). Apart from that, Emenalo isn't your conventional technical/sporting director. I think his role is actually misunderstood.

He's the appointed punching bag for our supporters.

In that case why do we need him? If he's utterly powerless or too gutless to stand up to Roman then that's further proof that he's been promoted far too high. If he's just an empty shirt, what message does that send?

You're either defending him because you think he's done a good job (I don't) or you're defending him because despite being in what should be a key position in the club, he's without responsibility. Neither is a case for retaining him and both point to a real blind spot on the part of our owner which should feel you with dread, no?

I just don't know how anybody can look at Emenalo or Grant a few years ago and feel happy or secure that they are part of the club.

This dude has been playing the same tune for the past 4 or 5 day.

I still don't understand why we signed him. This has to be one of the most pointless transfers I've ever seen

Also, according to the L'Equipe article, Stuttgart aren't interested in buying, they want a 12-18 month loan deal 

 

[nyikolajevics 2,690]

At least give him one fucking game This weekend is a good opportunity.

Because we failed in our targers and needed an emergency player just jncase of a crisis.

He got some minutes against Walsall.

[Special Juan 28,100]

He's been a great addition.

Yeah like one minute, didn't even touch the ball.

 

I would really love to see him tomorrow, I've been hungry for some Papy-time for months.

If we needed an emergency player, we could have asked Middlesbrough to terminate the Kalas loan deal (like Liverpool are doing with their loaned out players due to significant injuries in their first team)
