George Green

He obviously has some talent and each coach thinks they can deal with his wild side, only to be proved wrong

 

Did that cause the off the field incident that meant he was released from his contract with Vikings?

 

I get all that as I too have been there as I have previously explained on here about my drinking etc. But the main thing is you need to want to help yourself and it is about following the advice that is given from the professionals. I’m sorry but he needs to take some ownership of his own actions, mental issues or not,

Not sure when the quote is from above but he must start taking some responsibility if for nothing else but putting himself in positions that lead to problems. If playing football is too much for him to cope with then he has to accept that and move on. Repeating the same things will keep getting the same results, something had to change.

Very sad reading indeed.

 

It beggars belief that a £2m investment at a club like Everton would “not have any other guidance other than pals with drugs and booze”. Especially considering the talent that has come out of there (Stones and Barkley were in the same team as a youngster)

There’s got to be a large element of George choosing to ignore a lot of guidance offered to him.

Already posted in the where are they now section

 

trouble is there will always be a club who disregard the rules and sneak money to them or parents to encourage the player to join them

 

More in T&A just now, still hoping for a chance by the sound of things.

 

fair play to him but I think he has to prove him self again due to the number of comebacks he has already had. Just like someone who keeps breaking their leg would drop down the leagues to start again

 

I wouldn't be opposed to us signing him and loaning him out to non league initially.

I agree with @Storck that he has to drop down the leagues and prove himself, he has had a few lives already in terms of his career, but I'd rather we held his registration and lent him to Farsley Celtic than Farsley held his registration and we couldn't afford him ala Jamie Vardy.

Keep the money low, keep the terms favourable to the club, keep expectations and pressure down and see how he does.

If he's good enough for League One/Two, he'll tear it up if he can concentrate on a full season loan without worrying too much about paying rent or whatever. If he's not good enough, well, that's probably what most people would expect. If he's REALLY good, we could bring him back in January.

 

He already plays in non league.

The idea that he might tear up league 2 when he hasn’t even done it for Chester FC, Boston United and Gainsborough Trinity is wishful thinking.

 

I don't think he'll year up League Two, I meant if he did tear up non league while in a more secure position financially.

But yeah, chances are his career is done - but he's still young. No other way back now than hard work climbing up the ladder.
