'You're being selfish, I suppose that's the right word.' TimSpiers speaks to those who know to explain what it's really like when pre-season is thrown into chaos by a player who wants out.
“Which changing room you’re in normally tells you what’s going on,” Jarvis says. “If you’re in the youth or reserve team changing room, you know you’re not going to be involved — through your or the club’s choice. You could be in a bomb squad.
“Not only had I been told to get a new team, my current one was going off on their pre-season tour without me,” Onuoha wrote in his autobiography Kicking Back. “I wouldn’t get my chance to prove my worth. I wouldn’t even be training with them. Onuoha said after the tour his group trained on a separate pitch but shared the same dressing room. They were then moved to a separate start time so they had no interaction with the first team.
Onuoha continued training as normal during that period, doing as he was told. But there is a long list of players who went in the other direction, refusing to train until their exit was secured. Some are more blatant about it than others.
