ChipBarrington 313 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Id imagine he is in the difficult situation of: He wants to play and possibly convince someone to offer him a contract in the summer He gets injured easily and doesnt want to risk being injured when his contract expires He gets booed by his own fans Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's a pretty strong accusation, saying he's faking an injury, I assume there's something to back that up @pokeyjoe? Link to post Share on other sites

Tbf it may well be true, he is a consummate actor, he’s be been able to convince people he’s a footballer for the past decade. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 He was dead to me after missing that header vs Swansea in our prem days where we drew 0-0. Just at the end after Negredo's quality pass. But yeah, worst decision to sign him. You wonder if we'd gone for someone who we all identified in that window what might have been... I wonder who came up with Gestede.. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I remember that miss 😞 What a turning point it could have been. We really have had so many abysmal centre forwards at this club. Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Knowing our club he probably has a clause saying he gets a 2 year extension if he makes another appearance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he isnt faking then maybe football isnt for him anymore, maybe he could try flower arranging The staggering amount of injuries this bloke has apparentely had leads me to think he has no intention of putting on a Boro shirt again on a matchday I cannot help but see the uncanny similarities with Rodwell who seems to doinv OK now 🤔 he left the Mackems and bled them for as much as possible Maybe i,m wrong Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to understand the link between him and Rodwell here, Rodwell is currently without a club, he's hardly 'doing OK now'. The only link is that nobody else would pay him what he was earning and that's not down to either player, that's down to ridiculous spending from both us and Sunderland respectively. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the lad's personal motivation to get in the team. He keeps getting injured and keeps coming back into the squad around the right time you'd expect. But hey, considering the lad gets booed onto a pitch when he does turn up, God knows why he would want to fight to get back for anything other than his wage. It could even be that not all of his injuries are physical conditions and that actually, it's pretty depressing to come to work and get shouted at non-stop and get called a donkey and all-sorts. By all accounts I've seen from him, he's a good human being and I think some of the treatment he gets is beyond ridiculous. He slipped up at Newport but again, you give someone that level abuse over a long time and the credit is with the guy who doesn't absolutely flip, it doesn't immediately make them a wrong-un. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Wow thats some rant youve got I have my opinion of this sorry situation of a player who seems to get injured lacing his boots these days and without any doubt you have yours If i have offended you Mr Gestede sorry Wilson feel free to vent your anger to the many many thousands of Boro fans who see this bloke as a total fraud of a fiotballer even when he is fit But he is a nice guy so thats alright Jesus wept 🙄 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Except you didn't spell it out as an opinion to begin with, did you. You simply said he is faking injury. With nothing to base it on other than thinking it's a bit like one other player who may have done the exact same thing, which is a tenuous link at best. You're tarring him with the same brush surely for no other reason than he's a footballer who has contributed very little to our club and if the thousands of supporters of fans who see him as a total fraud started pointing the finger in the direction of the person actually responsible for that rather than booing him on and off the pitch and giving him abuse based on made up facts, maybe something would change.
