So you can keep making excuses for him Lapi, but Ousmane has been lucky the club have been fairly lenient so far, but it stopped after his recent incident.
You sound like a 90 years old judge at a high-court somewhere. Quoting the accusations of the prosecution but not listening to the defense.
I don't even try making excuses for him, until you have strong evidence in front of the jury, which nobody has in this case.
He played the first Liga game, played badly. But wasn't worse than thew rest of the team. Fact.
He went to the pitch already injured - gossip. And I can go on with absolutely contradictory statements being heard everywhere.
He missed a medical check but we know nothing of the actual circumstances, only the bad gossips him going to Africa, which wasn't true.
You shouldn't think the club is different from humans, as they also need scapegoats time to time. At present it is Dembele, but it might change one day.
You don't know - just as I or anyone else - if Abidal is really fed up by him or not. It's a gossip, bad journalism that tries to always find the actual scapegoats and then stick to the stories, in the hope that it will soon get worse and then another article can deal with the nothing to fill in the empty pages.
The ISSUE would be real and would really carry an important warning-sign if:
1. Any disciplinary action was already needed against the disorderly player.
2. Repeated disorderly actions shown the player's bad attitude and despite fine-fees, the behaviour didn't change.
3. Repeated disorderly actions started to endanger the rest of the team.
You can see none of these and all you hear is gossips, which usually are initially quite contradictory to each other but later those flatten up besides the given agenda.
Accusations:
- He was late for training earlier in the last season. Possible but supposedly not to the extent of the press chewing about it.
All footballers and sportsmen are sometimes late for duty, just as you - normal humans - are.
- He eats rotten octopuses and like to do that twice by cudding them up all. Gossip. Bad gossip related to nothing evident. But if it is TRUE, it is the club's responsibility to handle it, as they have the highly paid staff for that.
What else? Nothing.
Or do you wanna say that the hardly too sophisticated personal opinions of bias-king BBZ and the like - on his status of intellect - are the ones that really determine his human and brain qualities?
Naturally I don't know him and hear the very same gossips and accusations, but at least I do know where and what to believe as being FACTUAL and when to question the gossips.
He is not an alcoholic, he is a devote Muslim so cannot even drink, he likes to play video-games - great sin.
Sometimes he goes to sleep late, the funniest, as if the journalists are sleeping in his bed.
Just collect all these and the end-result will be almost nothing.
Just recently people, the haters, started spreading that he is gay, because nobody has seen him with female company. Is it true? Is it certain? If it is does it mean anything?
First just put these questions up to yourself and if you are a cleverly cognitive human, you will get the same negative answers.
These words by me are NOT the "excuses" - as you put it - these are the facts, facts that neither you or me know nothing about.
When you judge humans do it the professional way, by first examining all available evidence, and THEN you may ask us to stand up and listen to the verdict!
