Friedel and Laursen on Goals on Sunday

[JJ-AV]

Talking about MON's departure now.

[Risso]

What did they say?

[MonsXI]

What did they say?

Said they knew nothing about MON leaving until turning on the tv, no players were celebrating.

Also laughed at the article about him starting a revolt because of GH taking over.

Spoke really well of the club.

[JJ-AV]

Nothing interesting really, Friedel was saying how it was a shock and all the talk of arguments within the camp were compeltely untrue and the players weren't happy.
Said he hadn't spoken to him pre-departure and gave the impression none of the players suspected it.

Laursen just said 'I can't take Manchester City seriously'. Quality.

"I cannot take Manchester City seriously" - Martin Laursen 14/11/10 - Legend!

[villan1975]

get in there martin,class act all the way!!!!!!

[N'ZMAV]

Friedel is an experienced guy, even if there was arguments etc behind the scenes with MON or a revolt against GH coming in, he'd hardly admit to it on the TV, would he?

Excellent, top man, nor can I, like some sort of grotesque circus act with a manager who is a grade A pratt....

and did Barry  get booed yesterday when he came on for Tevez?

[AV82EC]

Nope they were booing Mancini for subbing Tevez.

[Chris Smith]

Friedel is an experienced guy, even if there was arguments etc behind the scenes with MON or a revolt against GH coming in, he'd hardly admit to it on the TV, would he?

Or, perhaps the reason he said there weren't arguments and no revolt was because it is the truth. Have you considered that outlandish possibility?

[JJ-AV]

Laursen: wouldn't say no to coming back to Villa one day and one day might go into management.

[PaulWinch again]

Friedel talked about the promise of the youngsters. They both seemed like really good guys.

I would imagine that privately some players were very happy, and others might have been shocked/upset. MON's selection policy will have polarized the camp, and I think I've heard Laursen even suggest that in an earlier interview. One would assume that you would be quite happy to see the back of him if you were Davies, Sidwell, Reo-Coker etc, even if it is a bit far fetched to suggest they openly popped corks.

He's probably got more sense like most of us
