I said before I think Ricky looks like a big guy who needs muscle definition AT LEAST! If he is overweight what does that say about the training under GC and so far Under Jack's men?
Surely we weigh our players and check their diets? If we want him to lose weight, we should make him train more and harder. He should be in the gym working with weights. If he doesn't want to do that and would rather be the best fat forward in the Northern Prem' then we should be cancelling his contract by mutual agreement.
Okay, sending him to Sheffield and Matlock gets him a game we RIDICULOUSLY can't provide between Juniors and first team ........ but if there's a problem it does nothing to solve it. In fact if it makes him unhappy we'll make him fatter not thinner!
Why did Kevin Davies come to Chesterfield as a fifteen year old? The Blunts thought he was too fat. By the time he was 16 he was getting double-marked in Division One.
Football always pays lip-service to man-management but when it comes down to it managers, coaches and fans will almost always blame the individual, not the organisation. Last night England played Germany (the best team in the world) and clearly the best player on the park was Loftus-Cheek, who Chelsea send out on loan. How good does a young player have to be to break through from their Juniors? Was John Terry the last player to manage it?
I just reckon if you see talent you look at ways to develop it, open up avenues rather than block off whole roads, or send it down dead ends! If there's problem with Ricky German, try to solve the problem, don't just come up with the scrapheap solutions that turned Jacob Hazel into a 16-goal man for Frickley ......
How is Charlie Wakefield feeling back in the Juniors, what's Brownell thinking back after doing very well at Sheffield? What if Joe Rowley goes off the boil, will we suddenly forget all that promise and assume he just became too big for his boots? I think Jack Lester is far better than that. He is a highly intelligent man. Getting to the fat bottom of what is going on with Ricky German, sorting it out and giving Chesterfield its next centre forward might be a significant achievement in his new career.
