Luis "Paso Doble" Figo

[snake]

I read in C4 that he refused to come on as a substitute, is it true?

no.

Mancini refuted that on inter.it saying it wont true at all.

Mancini says a lot of shit. Here is what he said today about Figo.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]As for the Figo reports, these came about after the Portuguese legend refused to come on against Liverpool as a substitute when they were already 3-0 down on aggregate and Mancini effectively confirmed they were true.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“I was a player for 20 years, so I know someone can not like a Coach because he doesn’t let him play or always substitutes him, but I have never seen anyone pull back at the moment when fighting spirit is needed, especially out of respect for their teammates and the club. In any case, I am not vindictive and only look to the good of the collective. I won’t ask for a fine.

For me giving Figo a year extension last year was a mistake, he is way too old to start every game, and then shows attitude when he doesnt get to play.
Its also sad to see we are unable to do anything against our so called big players. FFS fine this piece of shit. He not only disrespected Mancini, but disrespected the whole team by not coming on. WTF are we paying this moron for?
We really need to fine our players and shit. Let them know who is the boss, if they dont like it, get the f*ck out.

umm, so his refusal to come in as a sub is true?
Very uncharacteristic and unprofessional of Figo

I dont get it,at inter.it mancini says that in the liverpool match inter changed tactic when burdisso got a red while on other sites like c4 and goal.com it says what was qouted in this page...strange.

I'm not sure but, wasn't Mancini against renewing Figo's contract last summer? wasn't Moratti the one who jumped in and convinced Figo to stay for another?

 

[Ziyad]

I dont think its going to happen again.Last year Figo had showed on the pitch enough to renew his contract.Dont think its the same this year especially with a year older figo

 

[Marcello]

yes some dont like figo and some do but theres a huge possiblity, if mourinho comes he may stay .. just a guess

 

[rockball]

There is no way Mourinho will keep Figo. A player who cannot run, can't help the team in defense and most of all has an ego.
Yup, thats exactly the player Jose likes

It was not Mancini who wanted to keep Figo eather, it was Moratti.

 

[Luka]

Figo won't stay, that is not an option.

Even if Mancini, that I hope will not, stay, Luis will deffinetly either retire, or leave the club.

 

[Alex de Large]

Man i hope he leaves.

 

[minterke]

Even AC Milano Dinosaurs FC would be laughing at us if Figo stays another year.

 

[Choppin Onions]

His contract won't be renewed. He's finito. Even Moratti realizes that I'm sure.

 

[K.I.]

lol you guys are funny...he was on form in the beginning of the season,he got injured and now he is back and he is actually playing well yet people want him out.

 

[rockball]

People want him out because he is too old. He can play well in a few games in patches but won't give us the continuity that we so desperately need. Also his presence would make things difficult to sign a young playmaker. Figo anyways has still not got used to a bench role. So its better in the interest of the club that he quits as a player.

 

[K.I.]

He is 34...also what does "Too Old" have to do with his performances?you guys judge players by their ages or performances?

 

[rockball]

For a player whose game revolves around beating defenders and running circles around them, it matters. He cannot last 90 minutes. Cannot play a game every weekend but still wants to be a starter.
I agree that he is the best at set pieces we have. He is still a very good player but not one who I think can lead us to a lot of victories.

 

[rockball]

And a player who doesn't come on when the coach asks him to should surely be thrown out. He is not bigger than the club.

 

[K.I.]

^Again you dont know is this is actually true,also you are entitled to your opinion which i definately dont agree on and also who told you that he cant last 90 mins?

 

[Alex de Large]

You honestly think the current Figo would be a player for big teams of Europe? Chelsea, United, Barcelona...?
