Looked shocking in pre season too. Such a ******* waste of space, yet still people were chanting his name. :rolleyes:

Paderborn are saying they Riedewald's agent wanted more money than they were willing to pay.

He was poor at the U23 game I went to, looked like he couldn’t be ars*d and didn’t look any better against Colchester. I know he’s not a left back but he is a left footed centre back so he should have been able to cope against a team 3 divisions below. It annoys me when players don’t seem to give their all for the team, not least because that money could be spent on someone who actually wants to be here

Blokes a Parasite

Our very own Winston Bogarde

Love this scroll down a little bit and watch the numbers move

Who agreed to pay him that much?

I agree to an extent that professional pride should come into it at some stage, but isn't it our fault for paying £60,000 per week and not doing our due diligence?

Spoke to a Dutch colleague about him before he signed and he said that Riedewald was nothing special. In a similar way to any Norwegian could have told you that Sorloth was worth £1m max. We didn't do our homework in either case.

Sums up a number of modern footballers unfortunately

Agreed. He’s fat, greedy and probably a Tory as well. Hope his career goes nowhere.

Nobody beat me to it then: The Dutch Mutch.

Like timelords, there must always be one (at our club). I guess his time with Mutch in the under 23s can't have helped, a sort of handing over of the parasite baton from Master to Apprentice must have occurred during Mutch's latter time here.

Unpleasant,hateful, poisonous attitude by many in this thread. Odd.

I think I've heard that one somewhere before. Parasites the lot of them.

I sympathised with him for a time because he was brought in by a twat manager who was trying to play a system that didn't work whilst behaving like a total bellend and was then left high and dry when that manager was kicked out of the door so hard that he landed in France.

He isn't ever going to fit in with Hodgson's system and Hodgson isn't going anywhere soon, so he's been given various chances to play first team football on loan somewhere in a system that suits him and that will develop him.

He may have received lemons but his willingness to make lemonade leaves a lot to be desired.

In what way is how much we agreed to pay him relevant to my comment?

Parasite size is proportional to the square of cost minus value.

Well at least he can sit around and let that magnificent barnet of his grow until January. Well in Jairo mate :p

The guy is letting his career die a death. He clearly doesn't want to play competitive football and prefers to sit around instead

No one wants to touch those wages, and he doesn’t want to relinquish them, so we are stuck in a Mutch situation. Amateurish by the club imo, considering money is so tight supposedly.

How can you blame the club ? No one could have envisaged this scenario when we signed him . The club has tried to offload him numerous times but he’s not interested.

Because we signed him for too many wages commensurate to his abilities. If he was on £20k a week there would be teams willing to pay more and we could offload him. Also, blatantly a Frank De Boer signing, and to be fair to the club the strategy has changed since then.

I think we should refuse to put him in the U23s and make him train on his own elsewhere from the training ground. The guy is a mercenary, and best to keep him away from the squad.
