Genuine question, why do we make a player like Schweinsteiger train with U21's just if he isn't part of the plans?
Seems like such a bad way to handle things and letting a player iike him leave on bad terms would be bad for the reputation of the club.
When Pogba was with us Fergie made him train with the U21's and we all know what happened after. I honestly don't get this approach.
Even if you don't have a plan for that player and want him sold, don't be a douche and put him in the U21's. Treat him with the respect he deserves.

He's not training with them, nor will he play for them.
Who made this up then? Because it has been circulating for the last few days.
He's apparently been moved to the reserve dressing rooms. Whether this is true hasn't actually be substansiated. We're covering the Testimonial on wednesday, will try and get someone to ask.

Yeah conte is someone I know little about as a manager anyway, I liked him as a player, I know he was successful at Juve and obviously saw what he did with the italian national team in the Euros but I know little about how good he is etc. I know he divides opinion on base, but I am genuinely intrigued by what he will do with the blues and how good he will be
His brother posted than right after the "reports" popped up tbh. And then Ducker somehow wrote an entire story on it.
Reserves are playing tonight, we'll see.
Meanwhile City players who are overweight arent even allowed to train with the 1st team. Both managers are ruthless

Exactly. Don't become 2 of the best managers in the world by being nice and not making tough calls. Am gonna watch the game tonight so will see if Basti plays. Seen a few rumours saying he could be playing in Rooneys testimonial.

Which is sound. But, 'if' true, demoting a guy like that to train with the kids not so much.
That's not 'being ruthless/ making a tough call/ however anyone wants to describe it.' That's being a *****.
Oh no, I was kidding. He kept playing Brana last year, even though it was massively clear that things weren't working (we started playing a drinking game where you would take a shot every time he got skinned. Those were some messy weekends...) so he's not above some dogmatic loyalty.
This looks much more like he is just asserting his authority and showing everyone that no amount of past glory is really going to save you.
How that man survived is still a mystery.
He hasn't trained with them.
True but turning up overweight for Pre-season is just unprofessional which deserves to be punished. Its not Bastian's fault that his best days are behind him so he deserves to leave gracefully instead of being demoted as he has if reports are true.

Lost in the semi on Penos. Was the better team. Olesunde, Poole, Tuanzebe, Riley were quality. Goss was also good after a long lay off with injury, but controlled the game. Demi Mitchell was a right ***** when he came on cost us the game. Fighting with Goss for a free kick just after coming on. No work rate or team work. And missed the shittest peno ever trying to **** the keeper down the middle and ended up going over the bar on the deciding peno.
