Its all about pecking orders, innit. Not really surprising and there's no point him waiting until the transfer window closes...
In some ways i dont blame Manny for wanting to leave. Being left out the side with your place going to donkey boy Russell is quite probably infuriating and sometimes insulting.He was given a fair crack of the whip during pre-season, didn't do enough and has been told that he's not in the plans at the moment. Handing in a transfer request is Manny giving up, if he feels he's given everything he can then fair enough, but in that case he's not good enough for L1 and maybe even L2. If he felt he could improve and make it at this level then he wouldn't have asked for a transfer.
I've not really liked the cut of Manny's gib and think he'll be gone by the transfer deadline.
Whilst admiring the sentiment I'd have to suggest that it was Bertie who was keeping the boy Manny at bay.Being left out the side with your place going to donkey boy Russell is quite probably infuriating and sometimes insulting.
Putting tactical b*ll*cks and positioning to one side for a second and talking pure ability, it is my opinion that Manny is worth/contributes double what Russell is, and is by far a superior player. Russell may read the game better than anyone else on the pitch, but he sure as hell struggles to play it. I hate to be unkind, but having Russell on the pitch is (sometimes) like playing with 10 men.Whilst admiring the sentiment I'd have to suggest that it was Bertie who was keeping the boy Manny at bay.
