Ron Lovely Man 1992 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 About a year ago, I had heard from someone on the inside that Abdi was struggling really badly with depression and had at points become suicidal. Wish him all the best in the future but glad he’s not on the payroll from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siowls Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Would people think any differently if I suggested... - He’s tried to terminate his contract before now but Chansiri has kept him here for some silly reason. - He hasn’t been as injured as it’s been made out. - He gave an interview to foreign press while he was meant to be injured, basically undermining Carlos. This didn’t go down well with the management or chairman. For this reason he was frozen out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri's opinion was "Abdi has absolutely no respect for Sheffield Wednesday" Katrien Meire mentioned "Cultural differences" Players seem happy training with him everyday, even though he's not contributing, so they understand his situation. I think it boils down to an emotional dejphon being in the locker room, he made an example out of him. Possibly wrongly, who knows. I might be waaaaaaay off here but I’ve wondered if there is a mental health element to this. Wondered whether AA has suffered with something and it’s been misinterpreted by people at the club. Like I said, I could be way off the mark. I think Abdi has been a terrible signing but without knowing all the facts and, most importantly, Abdi’s perspective we will never know what went on.

Stoop Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 All we know is that DC called him out during the fans forum. Chansiri seems like a decent guy and would no doubt be very supportive if there was an ongoing health problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I’m shocked by the number of fans who think it’s ok to jump on him without knowing the full story. For me, the bottom line is he’s been treated like poo pretty much since he got here and didn’t stand a chance.

Owl 44 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 My observations of Abdi as a SWFC player. Came on as sub in pre-season against Port Vale. Scored and looked classy. Played in first two games against Villa and Norwich. Gave TV interviews for Sky and was tweeting regularly, wishing team luck and posting photos of himself in Wednesday gear. Carlos played him on the left rather than the centre. Played okay but not brilliant. Brought off at half-time against Burton Albion. Carlos said he wasn't fit. After that his appearances became less regular until he was out of the team altogether. Carlos said he needed a mini pre-season. Injury crisis in December and he is brought back into centre mid against Rotherham. Gets injured - shoulder and has to go off. Spends more time out. A few sub appearances. Returns season after. Carlos impressed with him in training. Comes back into first team at Forest and scores a worldie. Stays in team for Leeds match where he replaces Bannan. Plays poorly and gets dropped again. Stops posting on social media. Appears at end of season lap of appreciation. Only player not wearing charity t-shirt. This season - only been seen in training photos. The enigma that is Abdi.

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Think only our club could ever sign such a seemingly excellent player and get absolutely nothing in return. I have mates who have lost their legs who have subsequently competed in the Para Olympics in the same time Abdi cannot bring himself to retain a level of fitness to at least train with the squad.

RichSheffWeds Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Knowing our luck, Wilder will sign him for the pigs, turn him into a world beater and he’ll rip the EPL a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
