Should Bougherra start against Stuttgart?

[Frankie 8,190]

Bougherra has disrespected the club not one, not twice but on three separate occasions now. Despite being given leave of absence twice during these international trips for an extra day off, he still couldn't make it back in time to ensure he prepared properly for our next match. Remember, we're his employer - not the Algerian FA - and he earns a five figure weekly sum plus bonuses for the privilege of playing for our club.

 

In an era where money is tight for our club and results crucial for our survival and while our fans battle through a recession, increasing unemployment and huge fuel/ticket costs just to attend a game at Ibrox, the converse uncaring attitude of this mercenary makes me sick.

 

There is no way he should play tonight and unless he makes a public apology to his colleagues and the fans, he shouldn't play for us again. Let's see if his attitude changes when he's not playing and Algeria suddenly start to question his worth/fitness for South Africa next summer.

 

Unfortunately, as touched on above, our club's financial problems means that preferable course of action is unlikely - even if he doesn't play tonight.

I don't think he should start, however this is a massive game and he is one of our better players also the best way to sell a player is play him in these type of games,can we win without him??.Hard choice.

I think we can win the game without him,because he has taken the piss once to often IMO.

He's on the bench, so the poll result was accurate!
