belaguttman Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Did Germano get so much as a minute in Abu Dhabi? There's a pic of him visiting the City Schools - he looks overweight to me. Surely he's testing the patience of the coaching staff by now? He deserves a break. Playing 2 games in a row is very tiring for Germano. It isn't the playing that's tiring for him, he's good at that, it's the 6 months of recovery and rehab between those 2 games that is tiring.

Kiro Kompiro Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hanging for that citizenship. We need more fruit pickers, so I'd suggest that as back up plan, but then he'd do his calf climbing on a ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just proving that wheelie bins full of ice are just as good for recovery as anything else on the market for a fraction of the price. Huge wheelie bin promotion contract coming his way - no rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attack11 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah! Time to go.. The club should have terminated his contract in January.. Another bad decision by the club to keep him on.. For me this fuck up is down to JD... If he does his job and finds a player we can actually use then Germano would have been gone months ago.. I would even call this guy injury pron..

Torn Asunder Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Germano walks into the medical room, and the doc says " I've got good news and bad news about your latest injury .... the good news is we're going be able to name an injury type after you ...

jw1739 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 My gut feel is that we did try to move him on in the January window, as per the rumour, but were unsuccessful at doing so. We cannot unilaterally terminate him as long as he continues to meet his contract requirements, and he's doing that. So we are stuck with him until the end of his contract.

NewConvert Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Let's assume that he is injured, then the question is why wasn't he put on the long term injury list prior to the transfer window and a new player brought in? Germano is a visa player so therefore the club could have searched O/S for a player. The alternative is that he is not injured and is being frozen out but the club keeps reporting him as being injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Whole thing doesn't make sense, they say he's injured but trains in the derby warm up, plays 45 mins the next day in the youth derby, fly him over to nz just to do another warm up and gym workout the day after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it has been rather obvious for a while germano's body cant hold up to the intensity of playing professionally which is a shame. If the club is keeping him on to at least get him right for state league where he can earn good money on the side and stay in Australia then good on the club.

n i k o Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 The thing is he hasn't even been named on the injury list for the last month. He played before the January transfer period and then didn't play a game overseas and hasn't been near the team sheet since. Every other player has an estimated period of time before they return to playing. Yet he doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 They need the 3-4 staff with him just in case he breaks down on the way home... But seriously, overt "freezing out", such as Gelong did with Bru, is classified as harrassment or bullying by the PFA, and I doubt the club wants to be seen as guilty of that. Periodically clubs get caught with a player such as Germano. Isn't there (wasn't there?) a player at Chelsea on a 5-year contract at some incredibly high wage who turned out to be a dud, but couldn't be sacked because he does/did everything right according to his contract, such as always being on time for training etc. etc.? Can't recall the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Except Bogarde was on an exceptional amount of coin, Germano is on nothing of the sort. If we were going to freeze out a player hoping they agree to terminate their contract you would think it would be Wielaert as he would earn a considerable amount more.
