Doubt this is going to fly with Arteta.
Portuguese and Marseille full-back Nuno Tavares (23) has been kicked out of a training session by Croatian manager Igor Tudor, L’Équipe have revealed. The former Juventus centre-back gave a wide-ranging and insightful interview to the outlet on Wednesday. When speaking about the commitment he requires from his players during training, he had admitted that, as of last week, a then-unnamed Marseille player was shown the way to the dressing room because he “was not making necessary efforts.” The player in question was revealed to be Tavares, although L’Équipe also adds that France international wing-back Jonathan Clauss was also recently singled out by Tudor for his performances during training.
“In my football, there is a feature, you have to run“, Tudor assessed. “And if you don’t… If I see one player that doesn’t run in training, I’ll say it once, twice and then on the third time of asking, I’ll intervene.” Since his arrival on loan from Arsenal, the Portuguese defender has left a somewhat mixed impression. His impressive scoring record of six Ligue 1 goals for a wing-back is offset by his erratic decision-making and poor defensive tracking. “During the hour or so of training, I am demanding, the players have understood it”, Tudor added. “But if they want rest days, I can give them some too. And we can joke or laugh, but work is work.“
Why would a club jeopardise a relationship with a player and publicly shame him if they wanted to buy him and he be part of their long term plan?We should avoid sending players to Marseille in the future. This is them obviously trying to reduce the fee for Nuno. Nuno still played 90min on Friday after he got kicked out of training.
This is all BS from Marseille.

‘could play for Real, Barca or city’ to this. Life comes at you fast.

It's not a bad take at all. The information Marseille is leaking to the media does not align with what is happening on the pitch. This is the third story in the past weeks about Tavares while the manager still plays him 90 minutes every game. Surely he can't be that bad in training and on the pitch if he still plays all the time. Also Marseille can easily tell Tavares that this is the media's doing and they are fully behind him while the club is actually feeding the media with this story.Exactly.
Very bad take.
And who tells the fans it's all BS?It's not a bad take at all. The information Marseille is leaking to the media does not align with what is happening on the pitch.

I believe Marseille is doing this because they don't want another Saliba situation.
And who tells all the other clubs Tavares may play for in the future it was a a ploy to get him cheap.And who tells the fans it's all BS?
Was a decent enough player back in the day. Remember him playing for Juve.Igor Tudor is a f*cking kickass name btw

Yeah he has sh1tty reputation in France. And he tend to fall out with players a lotTudor is a massive prick btw, almost got sacked like three weeks into the job for getting into fights with the dressing room.
Tavares probably isn't the easiest to deal with either tbf but he's an inexperienced kid with massive upside, would be a shame to discard him off the back of this after the first six months he's had
