Agree, but suppose it'll be wages that are the problem, won't it? Would imagine their wage bill is probably about half ours, if that. And Imbula got a relegation clause so it’s all good Even if he had a hefty cut (fingers crossed), it'll probably be well out of reach for a club like them though? And Imbula knows his current inflated wage is more than he'll ever get again.

Is he injured? Why didn’t he yesterday, not even on bench?

How has Badou got in the team yesterday and Imbula didnt?
Presumably Badou is showing the same effort in training as he did yesterday? Imbula has looked decent in pre season, like a point to prove.
So why start with a player (regardless of talent) that doesn't want to be here?

www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/levante-close-to-deal-with-stoke-for-giannelli-imbula/Spanish side Levante are nearing an agreement with Stoke City over a loan with option to buy for French midfielder Giannelli Imbula, according to RMC. rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/mercato-imbula-du-loft-de-stoke-city-a-levante-1501802.htmlGiannelli Imbula is looking for a way out. Levante, with whom he is in advanced discussions, could welcome him. Ready to significantly lower his fees, he was proposed to Saint-Etienne, Monaco and Lille, who have not responded. Lately, the entourage of Imbula has discussed with the sporting director of the Stade Malherbe de Caen, but the Normans have preferred to repatriate the Moroccan Fayçal Fajr, who has the advantage of knowing the club. The former Guingampais is currently in advanced talks with Levante, who has been courting him since last week. According to information from RMC Sport, an agreement on the basis of an option loan could even be found this week. Other Spanish clubs such as Rayo Vallecano, or Torino in Italy, still follow his situation very closely. "Gian", as his friends call him, is, in theory, going abroad. Unless a French club scents the good deal with this talented player, who is always looking for consistency.

Any club that can find the right motivation for this fella is going to get a real bargain.
GR doesn´t even seem to want to try.

And yet someone still thought it was good idea to spend 18M to acquire his services. Don´t get me wrong I do believe that Imblua´s failures are all down to him not actually wanting to be a footballer. I just find it frustrating that managers will seemingly devote much more effort into making a success of someone with good attitude but none of physical attributes needed to become a footballer, than to those who whose mentality is weak.

Of course Imbul wants to be a footballer, otherwise he would have walked out with a neat pay off. He just doesn't seem to understand what is required of him, and all his English managers seem unable to get their ideas and orders across to him. But yeah frustrating he is.

I would say that it’s pretty obvious, the common denominator is that the clubs & coaches don’t appreciate a truly great player who has all the attributes that today’s modern footballer requires. Greed, laziness, selfishness, ignorance, arrogance and of course he is French .
