Interview in the French media: http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/foo...re-confie-timothy-weah-28-03-2019-8041752.php Are you disappointed with the way the first half of the season [at PSG] went? Yes, I was not told anything after the summer. As if I had never played with the team. I was first sent with the reserve for two weeks, then I was told that I would improve better by training with the pros. I did not speak with the coach, nor with anyone. It happened like that. I did not understand why I was not playing. At the beginning of the season, it went very well against Bayern (in friendly), and I scored in the Champions Trophy against Monaco. I felt good. And suddenly, I was no longer there.
I don't think he has much of a future at PSG anyway, to be honest. He's good, but I don't know if he's going to be at a top 10 European club level anytime soon.
That would require PSG to actually care enough about him to warrant it an issue. They dropped him on a loan despite the fact they def could have been using him as depth.
Can your first half of the season be a problem for your return? No, there is no problem with the PSG. Never. Paris did everything for me, I stayed 4 years. I loved and I still love the PSG. The president is amazing and the players are my brothers. It's like that in football, sometimes you come across things you do not control.
He didn't get much time in the first half of the season, he's having trouble cracking the Celtic lineup, PSG don't really loan players out who have a future there, and betting that a player won't make it at Paris St-Germain is right about 98% of the time.
PSG as a super club is a recent phenomenon. There is very little history to allow comment on that one way or the other. Maybe you are right, maybe not.
In the cutthroat business world I operate in, telling it as is gets you ahead. As long as you back it up. There's no room for feelings in this game.
from not playing at psg to uhh not really playing at celtic and talking about not playing at psg? disappointing all around.
I completely agree. That's the way Ray Dalio has traditionally run Bridgewater with his "radical transparency" principle and the way McKinsey operates with its "obligation to dissent". Success in business is really about being more right more of the time relative to your competition and that's more likely to happen if you put aside ego and emotions in the pursuit of getting to the best possible answer as a team. That said, Tim's recent comments are more akin to whining over perceived issues with his treatment and would probably be better handled privately. Not that he's wrong, but saying it publicly is far more likely to alienate those in a position to help him than to result in any positive outcome for him. He's also not so useful to PSG that he's indispensable. All in all, I would have advised him to address it through the appropriate channels.
New working title for part one of Tim's autobiography: Reality Check: The Hi-Weahs and Bye-Weahs of My Career Chapter titles: They'll Always Have Paris Scotch on the Rocks? Aged to Imperfection!
For a player who just turned 19, and has (all comps) 15 first team appearances and 5 goals so far this season?
