Charlie Wayman Posted 27 July, 2018 Share Posted 27 July, 2018 How embarrassing was CA's bike video tour around Evian embarrassing? He really is a brash, unruly individual and it seemed to me that quite a lot of our players and staff find him a bit of a PITA judging by their bewildered expressions when they were the butt of his banter. I mean come on, he was even rude to the gaffer and our captain and that surely isn't on even in jest. Reckon your a bit of a Jack the Lad, eh? More like a camp wrecker to me. Come on Charlie, stop the gob and get on with what you should be doing and do it well. Concentrate on your football and for heaven's sake take it seriously, you are after all supposedly a professional footballer. Look no further for your work ethic than Romeu, Hoedt and the others who are giving it 200% in the gym and in training ready for our new season.

Lighthouse Posted 27 July, 2018 Share Posted 27 July, 2018 Personally I’d find his brand of ‘lads banter’ rather tiresome after a while, if I had to work with him for a prolonged period of time but that’s just my personal taste.

Dan Johnson Posted 27 July, 2018 Share Posted 27 July, 2018 Part of our problem as a team over the last 24 months has been our complete lack of character and identify, our performances have been a reflection of our dreary\dowdy managerial interviews both of whom seemed to have very introvert personalities the team didnt seem to have any "oomph" I would say that's in part because personalities like Charlie perhaps felt a little out of place in that kind of environment. Personally I feel like you need characters like Charlie in the dressing room, they will be the type of players who will call team mates out when not performing, they maybe brash and they may not be that well liked by everyone (not saying thats the case with Charlie) but they have their place. Every majorly successful team will have someone loud, outspoken and who gives the team that "edge" and I believe Mark Hughes has given players like Charlie a platform to re-take the dressing room and make it a much more vibrant place. This is all just my opinion of course, but a flat dressing room is good for no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 27 July, 2018 Share Posted 27 July, 2018 As long as he scores goals I couldn't give a **** if he is a bit of a lad on a super polite gentleman. All I want is him to stay fit and bang in some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ‘laddy’ behaviour would irritate me after a while but he’s in the dressing room with a load of early 20 somethings who would probably irritate the **** out of me too, so I’m sure he fits in.

John Boy Saint Posted 27 July, 2018 Share Posted 27 July, 2018 Oh I thought it was Pacific International Trapshooting Association The only video i saw with Charlie on a bike was the one about Harrison Reed swimming Lake Geneva, how could you get wound up by that? For "a crock" pretty impressive that he can film, ride a bike, and talk and not be blowing out of his backside (maybe he was and that was how he was going along ) I thought when he asked the "Gaffer" his thoughts on the day, Hughes response was quite witty.

alehouseboys Posted 28 July, 2018 Share Posted 28 July, 2018 I think 'Charlie Wayman' just reflects a sizeable chunk of our support, too polite, boring and probably barely makes a squeak inside the stadium (unless he's like 75%ish of the posters on here and never actually goes to a game). Anyways, aint he an Arsenal fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 28 July, 2018 Share Posted 28 July, 2018 He's just a bit loud. Not the type of person I'd want to go for a drink with but I can only imagine he would think the same about me.

Plastic Posted 28 July, 2018 Share Posted 28 July, 2018 F*cking snowdrop. You wouldn't last 5 minutes in the docks. Due to acute bantz poisoning? Or lack of prawn sandwiches?

Cabrone Posted 28 July, 2018 Share Posted 28 July, 2018 As long as he scores goals that's all that matters. You don't need to socialise with the guy so why have a moan?

saintsmike25 Posted 28 July, 2018 Share Posted 28 July, 2018 Crikey, he's just having a laugh and he's also aware he is doing it to showcase the togetherness in the squad. So playing up to the camera to some degree. I'd rather have a character like Austin who helps the dressing room with some banter and character than the awkward Boufal video who clearly didn't fit in. However much us fans wanted him to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the management have no problem with him otherwise they would not have produced and shown the video in the first place. I'm sure that it was intended as a 'tongue in cheek', lighthearted snapshot of how things go at training camps, nothing more. How anyone can get upset by it baffles me and it certainly does not create an impression of disruptive behaviour in any way. Strange thread really !

I think these two comments summarise it fairly well for me. 'Banter' can sometimes have a nasty edge to it. In certain circumstances I'd be quite prepared to say "give it a ****ing rest". In other enviroments I've worked in some banter might be verging on a disciplinary. I'm not sure if some of the "it's only banter, mate" know when to stop and what's appropriate.
