depends on how you interpret solo training....maybe its simply the fact that Ade is behind all the others and the rest who have been training/playing and who are in line to play against Palace. If Ade isnt fit and wont be considered then why would he be part of this group? Better he does some training on his own in order to catch up on some fitness

Yes, doing a separate program suited to his fitness is no big deal. If he had to come in at odd times and wasn't allowed to interact with the rest I would think more of it.

Indeed. Read AVB's biography to see how good he is on the compassion side of things. There's a story about when Hulk's cousin died tragically, and another about when one of his player's wife's had a still birth.

Much as I dodnt want him to leave. That is a very good deal for me, espcially if we could actually buy Lamela and Pjanic with the money. Any change left for a CB would make it the window of all windows

With Hulk AVB arranged and bought (with his own money I think) Hulk and his family an immediate ticket home. He also insisted on it being one-way tickets. He told him to ignore the standard compasionate leave period and not to come back till he was ready. The book sums it up with a line like - "he may have lost Hulk for two extra matches than he needed to, but he won his loyalty for life"

With the still birth, again AVB was very actively involved in taking charge of providing (and paying for?) medical care. Also the IVF treatment afterwards etc. until their next kid was born.

Also remember he made Bale take his two weeks paternity leave last season, which is pretty unheard of in football.

I agree. If we do have to sell Bale, to get those players in would be magic.

Looking at Hulk and Bale's meteoric rises under him makes you wonder how much human touch might matter.

That's pretty thin. Bale's been on the rise for a few seasons now. Where Bale really came good last season was that he could have a bad game and still make that one telling contribution. A true match winner. But that for me was always a natural progression from the previous two and half seasons.

Is that AVB generally or just with players he likes though? He isn't exactly famed for his man management or communication skills with the players. But then players who are scorned always react negatively towards and what they say needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Of course the same goes for manager favourites also!

you are just remembering the chelsea time. He was told to make that side play decent football and get younger. thats why he kept referring to it as a project. So he dropped the older players and brought in younger more attack minded players who were new to the premiership. They struggled! big suprise! they complained and he got the sack! Then Di matteo came in, played the old guard for a while and won the euro cup, then basically had to do the same, they started well then faded. And he was sacked! old guard come back in again. If you just look at the porto and spurs players. They all have good things to say i beleive.
