Cuvelier Update

[Grappler]

I get your point but it's a bit of a harsh comparison with JOC being a cyborg and all.
He gets injured less than Billy.

*edit* note to self. Don't put daft things like that 2 weeks before the derby.

True, I just checked and John Fleck has 287 career league appearances, and he is 27, so a year older than Flo. That is probably a better comparison.

Has been delivering pizzas since being released by Walsall to bring money in.

Desperately trying to come up with a pizza pun but failing so far....

On another note I seem to recall he had an insanely tidy missus

Been delivering pizza's to bring in some dough. Sorry I'll get mi coat

Thank God for that and the penny finally drops.

Wages have to come from somewhere....

It's only taken about two years of ding ding rows between us, but we might make a decent poster of you yet!

Yeah. I get it.

Wages are paid by player sales, advertising revenue, the club shop, TV revenue and ticket sales.

They're paid too much. It's in the accounts.

Or summat

[Lets bring back....]

Think he was also in a car accident at some point whilst playing for us. Probably didn’t help the dodgy knee.

His bird was banging tho.

Don’t think Cuvelier deserves some of the abuse thrown at him. Was a decent player before he joined us, I don’t know why we signed him as we already had Baxter but anyway...

Struggled under Weir (as everyone did), Clough goes back to basics and ships him out to Vale as he quite rightly needs to make us fucking boring to stop us shipping goals (something he also did with Baxter and Murphy).

Goes Vale and gets injured after 30 minutes, never recovers but under Adkins probably made the most effort to get back to full fitness.

Obviously played for United during the wilderness years but he shouldn’t be in the same bracket as Baxter, Hammond, Collins etc.

And he's not. But like Ebrell, he's one of those who arrive with the expectation, suddenly Deadbat reports, "Cuvelier picked up a knock and limped off after 55 minutes", and then we discover he's out for the rest of the season (this is like, in September or summat)

Then we get reports he's almost back to full fitness, fails pre season, is back on the treatment couch, the following Christmas rolls round, players are sold in the JTW and he is back in the side, only to fuck up after two games and struggle to make even the subs bench for the rest of the campaign.

I think we endured with him a bit too long and really, from when he was bought to when he was sold, some or other decision should have been made about his ability to fit into a side which was completely different to the one he joined and whether he could bring to that position what he was bought for. We seem to be dead good at selling players who have just signed three year contracts, but when it comes down to luggage like Cuvelier who hasn't paid for himself in any measure, we hang onto the twats forever and a day hoping he'll return and cash it all in.

Bad gamble really. Admittedly, he's not all to blame, but it was a shit business call by the club not to usher him out earlier. To Wednesday or summat ideally.

I doubt anybody gets injured on purpose.

No one suggested he did.

"I feel like a lion on the hunt for meat but I am on the hunt for football."

It's safe to say that new Morecambe midfielder Florent Cuvelier endured a difficult start to the season after being released by Walsall in the summer.

At the age of 26 the former Belgium Under-21 international found himself out of the game and delivering pizzas to pay the bills.

But on Friday, the League Two Shrimps gave him a short-term deal until 25 January to end a "difficult" couple of months for him and his family.

"It put things in perspective when you go from playing football professionally for 10 years and then you find yourself at the beginning of the season without a club or any income but the bills and the mortgage are still coming through," he told BBC Lancashire.

"You need to find a way of getting some money in and for me it was delivering pizzas."

He added: "The last couple of months have been very difficult mentally for me and my wife.

"I've spent all these weekends at home sat on my sofa thinking that if anyone gives me an opportunity they will not regret it. I want to get my career going again."

The former Stoke and Sheffield United man said that he went running at 5:30 am and would go to the gym "two or three times a day" to keep fit.

The Belgian was an unused sub for the League Two strugglers in Saturday's draw with Newport but feels like he can have a big impact for Jim Bentley's men.

"Every day in training is an opportunity to get sharper, stronger, fitter and to impress," he said.

"For me watching the game on Saturday put stars in my eyes and even more fight in my belly to get in the team and get myself going again."

This story should be posted on every youth team dressing room and a letter sent to parents

He always came across as a smashing kid, really unlucky with injuries but plenty of talent
