I Asked: Do you think there is a problem between Youssef Safri and Peter Grant?
Chris Lakey Replied:
Yes, I do. It's been the most asked question in this office since early 2004 when it was "Is Huckerby going to sign"! I dson;t know what the problem is, but I sense it's there. Safri is a proud man and didn't like being dropped, particularly as he felt he was playing well. I think the latest episode which has set tongues wagging - Saff being "tired" - could have been avoided with a better explanation of exactly what the problem was. We have since discovered, a week later, that the manager was concerned that Saff's reaction to tired legs could have brought on a groin injury. If that had been made clear from the outset, I don't think it would have been such a hot potato.
