Martin Braithsnake - AWOL

[atypical_boro]

Seems to have always had a rather unprofessional side. Wants to leave Espanyol after helping them get relegated and now can't get his way, so he's f'd off.

The definition of a bellend that lad.

People still weirdly try to defend him, despite a constant pattern of poor behaviour towards his clubs.

Cheeky loan

There is a school of thought that his behaviour at the Boro was reasonable and is down to his treatment by pulis.

This is all the managers fault , imagine having the audacity to ask 'Special' Martin to play in a pre season friendly in Marbella against Top division Cadiz , Imagine

So depressing how much money we wasted in 2017 on the likes of him, Fletcher, Britt and Rudy.

Set us back by over half a decade. Luckily Barca were daft enough to sign him for ridiculous money so we got a good chunk of money back for Braithwaite with our sell on clause.

He is mega-rich through property so can afford to chuck his toys out

You know he's nearly a billionaire?

Could have made himself a cult hero here. I remember his first season under Monk. He missed the start of the season through injury but was excellent when he came into the side - I can remember the Mackems were raving about him on their board after we had beaten them at the Riverside, saying he looked far too good for the Championship.

Think ultimately it was a combination of his poor attitude, but also the so-called football we were playing under Pulis not suiting his game.

He'd lose his wife to gain a club if he returned to us.

Hailing from southern France, she found the limited sunshine in our neck of woods intolerable.

“Espanyol is far above all this, they have an asset called Martin and he has failed in etiquette and in everything. Let’s hope he returns, because if not, we’ll have to start talking about applying the disciplinary regime, and that’s already underway. Our members are being disrespected and we’re not going to allow that. Not from Martin nor anyone else. Anything that is not aligned with the club’s values is a big mistake. It’s a serious lack of respect.”

The Catalan daily say that Braithwaite was then seen in Castelldelfells, his home in Barcelona, eating with his family. Something that sparked disbelief in the Espanyol fanbase.

Ha, this sentence in isolation does seem rather bizarre.

They need to look low down to find him - lower than a snakes belly

I spend far too much time on here, and I've never seen any serious defence. I've seen "would you want to play in a Pulis side", but that's a mitigting factor, and doesn't preclude his behaviour from being that of a c....
