Baptista, the hardman who cannot stand a bit of rain...

One thing which really annoys me is overseas stars complaining about the British weather. You might reasonably expect that these stars might use a bit of nouse and do some research before deciding to come to play in England. Many do come over here and do well, but some do not, instead they bleat and carp on about the weather and how it affects them.

One such player is Arsenal's Baptista, who came with a reputation of being something of a hardman, yet he's now bleating about the dull weather.

I can actually understand players who cannot settle for family reasons, but using the weather as an excuse isn't in my book a good excuse to quit.

Send the bugger back
