Show the guy some respect. It's not even like its actually funny, is it? Given the level of nonsense we're at now I really hope this is resolved soon, either with a clear position stated by Farke or Todd, with some kind of time frame highlighted, or with him returning to at least the subs bench in the next game or two. Yes he didn't play particularly well early in the season, but who did? We know what he's capable of at this level and if we've got any hope of staying up then he will have a clear part to play. I 100% agree with what you are saying. However I kind of partly blame the club, they’ve been so cryptic with what’s going on it invites speculation, it’s unfortunately just human nature.

hogesar 9,615 Posted October 22, 2021 Have to say, a quick read through this and it's a little sad that blokes in their 30's, 40's and over are speculating over what's wrong with a 21 year old, whilst jumping to conclusions that it could be his sexuality, based no nothing more than the fact he has long blonde hair, presumably. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 22, 2021 There we go then. Its not totally clear how much of the missed training schedules in the past couple of months will be due to his personal issues, but the fact there isn't any sympathy from Farke on that matter feels like an indication. I hope Todd can sort himself out ASAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danke bitte 965 Posted October 22, 2021 So odd. Farke’s almost hinting a move away from the type of player Cantwell is. This doesn’t read well to me. It’s a damn shame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 22, 2021 On a more positive note, he's not been tweeting but he has still be reading messages, clearly - here are some of his recent 'likes'. I'm not giving up on the prospect of him returning just yet, but it is disappointing, we saw a similar thing last season albeit the matter was resolved much more swiftly, hope he's back soon.

You've absolutely rumbled him there!! See the follow up quote from Farke I've just posted, he references personal issues and then niggles to his achilles and ankle. Don't see why either of those things should stop him from being able to go out, but would of course stop him from training. Let's just see how things unfold from here before bringing him down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curious yellow 184 Posted October 22, 2021 Doesn't seem to be any explanation why he missed training this week. "Not 18 anymore" sounds like a dig to me. Can’t play at 98% unless you're Ronaldo - or Hanley or Gibson or Tettey - Norman has never been 100%. We need an explanation, we're struggling badly and playing a striker who can't score.

CowboyCanary 37 Posted October 22, 2021 My impression his sights are set on the transfer portal, maybe forcing the issue? Burning his bridges? He's made it clear he wants to move up. My two cents worth, spend it however you please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted October 22, 2021 Farke was probably trying to take attention away from Todd by saying he was injured... once Cantwell said he wasn't it left Farke with no option but to tell the truth. If you want to get in the 1st team, you have to train hard and train consistent. If you don't you are showing zero respect to your team mates and how can we expect them to train well, if Cantwell is not but still getting picked. He needs to sort himself out, train hard, shut up and get back in the side on merit. If he doesn't do that, sell him but if he thinks it would be any different at other clubs he is clearly deluded. Pity own of our own seems to have such a cr8p attitude. With Farke 100% all the way on this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted October 22, 2021 I personally don't think anyone has lied on the issue. Do we know if Todd was saying 'I've not been injured at all', or simply 'not injured at this moment in time'? If the latter then it pretty obviously explains the discrepancy; Todd missed several training sessions due to niggles, fell out of contention and lost match sharpness. Todd has since recovered, now feels he could be playing but Farke sees him as 98% (i.e. not still injured but not fully ready for premier league football). I think the fact we are seeing him play for the U23s tonight backs this up, Farke also talks of a process needed to bring him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
