Unsettled.

Hearing a few rumours about unsettled players at the club wanting to leave due to lack of game time.

First the Sloth
Then Graham
Now Chicksen and Eli?

Can only imagine Knowles and Wolfe will be fed up too.

Maybe the dressing room isn't as rosey as people say it is under Ardley.

Mourinho was asked directly whether Alli was unhappy. “In every dressing room are unhappy players,” the manager replied. “For sure. If any one of us, of my tribe, tells you that in his dressing room are only happy players, I don’t think it’s true. Or somebody is so so lucky to have a miracle in his hands.


“Then you can have [an] unhappy professional and the unhappy professional is the one that is unhappy but feels that his duty is to work, work, work and work. And there is the unhappy that believes that it’s not his job to fight and to work every minute for the squad and for the club.”

You'll always get unhappy players. I agree Knowles and Wolfe it would be good to see more of but this week we've got 6 points out of 6. Don't care how we get them as long as we get them. We don't let many in now so Graham and Chicksen wouldn't improve anything. It would be good to see more of Knowles and Wolfe but as long as we keep getting the points I don't really care. As for Sloth, I don't think we'll miss his character and never say die attitude.

Sloth was just a strange one, I think that was more about him then anyone else. Is Graham better than the other 3 we have I would say not. Knowles and Wolfe will get more time when games stack up. Wolfe is probably a decent player but would you put him in front of Reeves and Doyle if their fit and coping with the amount games, they are 2 very good players at this level.

Go to any workplace in the world and I’m pretty sure you’ll find ‘unsettled’ or unhappy employees in every one, for whatever reason. In fact, if any player was happy to be not getting game time then that would be a more worrying scenario I reckon.

You can tell how ‘rosey’ a dressing room is by performances, body language, and results....which suggests that the current dressing room isn't doing too badly.

It does make me smile that you use it as another stick to try and hit Ardley with when it will be a scenario going on in every club in the world, like it’s a unique situation to him and Notts. Good effort 😂

Dele Alli has been at Tottenham for years.

Sloth managed a few weeks, Chicksen, Eli and Graham a few months. And let's not forget Wes Thomas who wanted out and left without a club to go to.

Enlighten me about a season where this has happened before? Players usually last a season at least.

Heard or just made up because you don't like Neil Ardley.

This is the first Worldwide Pandemic Season I can honestly remember, it's a season like no other.

If you have many players who aren't playing and are happy then you've got serious problems. Usually happens when a club overpays on wages and struggles like Sunderland AFC aka Meal Ticket AFC.

Okay Laddo. You tell me. In your memory can you name a season where 4 players have asked to leave before Xmas?

As far as I’m aware Thomas left due to family reasons, Sloth didn’t even give it time to unpack his kit bag, Sheffield Utd decoded Graham wasn’t getting enough game time so recalled him, and Eli is just a rumour which you’ve not substantiated with any evidence. So that leaves Chicksen....one player.

Your post has as much substance as a Daily Star exclusive!

No I can't, I'd wouldn't know when players have asked to leave a club, that's private information

If true I'm just glad the 4 aren't Wootton, Rawlinson, Rúben da Rocha Rodrigues and Knowles.

The 4 you quote aren't that much of a concern as others have pointed out. The biggest loss out of those 4 is Graham but we are well covered at centre back. Sam would be a shame got some potential. Chicksen is no loss, Sloth doesn't count.

Covid limiting the number of games is always going to frustrate more players than any normal season.
