Could be anything though, maybe not putting in a shift in training? maybe been caught out on the piss? Maybe come back heavy in the summer and struggling to shed some pounds?
There's loads of reasons why it could be, IMO it's a bit weird suggesting it's because 'his face doesn't fit' ...whatever that means.

It means that it seems if you have even a moment's disagreement with Poch for whatever reason then you're instantly out the door. He said in July he was a bit off the pace - surely with two months of training he'd be fit by now?

Yeah it could be loads of reasons but since we've not been given any by the club we're left to speculate.

But u haven't got a clue what's going/gone on lol.

Mate this is the Where is Wimmer thread.... When a player who was outstanding last season in his 10 game cameo does not appear in a single match day squad thisbseason i am entitled to be curious. I honestly do not get your response...

Judging by how iffy Jan is, we really need this guy to step in. Was told by another yiddo this morning, though, Jan has a "guaranteed starter if fit" clause in his contract. Hope not, he doesn't deserve to atm.

Then like a professional i expect Poch to deal with it like an adult and not exclude the player from match day squads. My opinion is purely based on the question you have posed.

I too have wondered about his exclusion. I know when the season started he was carrying a niggle i believe, but when giving team updates his not mentioned as injured.

Poisonous players I can understand Poch freezing out. That top paragraph, though I'm with you all the way. Unless it's something really major, Poch needs to not just get out the big stick, but to work out difficult situations for the benefit of the team, the club and ultimately, his own job security.

We can only name a limited number of subs on the bench and if Poch believes CCV is training better at this time he is entitled to pick. It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't rate Wimmer any longer or that there is a problem. Only that he can't name the whole squad on the bench.

Sorry mate but that sounds total bullsh@t. Guaranteed starter if fit is the most stupid thing i have ever heard. When do the coaching staff decide he is fit? What happens if we dont pick him when fit?

I was referring to your insinuation that Poch isn't being professional, or behaving like an adult, when you have absolutely no idea about the situation, which I found funny.
Clearer now?

I heard from a mate's uncle's cat, that Jan gets a blow job from 18 different hookers if he scores a goal, performs a "SuperJan" and burps the Belgian national anthem.

Yesterday the Vertonghen of old would have tripped over and pulled Silvas shorts down instead of letting him shoot.

Wimmer in.

Did you perhaps read the last sentence of the 1st paragraph. I have not in anyway made an insinuation of that nature. I am more perplexed about his absence and there being no information of an injury etc....... I can however conclude from Poch previously freezing out players that perhaps this fate has befallen Wimmer or perhaps there is a simple explanation.

Isn't it just the case that Davies or Wimmer can cover the LCB position if Vertongthen has to go off whereas only CCV can replace Toby in the RCB spot? (Poch won't want to move Dier back)

Therefore, given that we only use one sub spot for a centre back, and everyone is currently fit, CCV gets the job.

Nothing wrong with Wimmer - it's just 'first class squad problems'

Interestingly - or not - Wimmer's official Twitter page was last updates on August 10 (@kevinwimmer27)

Seems strange he has gone missing.
I also would prefer him to Jan..

Didn't say I did. Just trying to understand how Jan can be so poor and still get picked.
Just putting it out there that maybe he's not as poor as u are making out?
Not saying he had a great game last night, but I think you're over-egging the pudding here.

I'm not buying that surely you have to have your 3rd best CB on the bench? Who would you rather playing CB wimmer or Davies?
My opinion wimmer is coming back from an injury, pissed poch off or poch thinks ccv is a better player right now
