or he's not arsed about playing?

That one's a possibility too.

Whilst I suspect there are some here who have a better idea, I reckon most of us haven't a clue (myself included) Clearly, his signing is not working out as hoped/planned. Beyond that...

 

[Lako42]

That one's a possibility too.

Highky unlikely though don't you think.

 

[Lako42]

What about if the only level he'll get games is League 1 and he made it clear he didn't want to drop that low, or they couldn't afford his wages, or he's not arsed about playing? Could be any, I suppose.

Non of those things mean it's acceptable to send him on loans where the manager doesn't even want him.

 

[mabrah]

Highky unlikely though don't you think.

Yes, highly unlikely. He enjoyed his time at Celtic it would seem.

Of course it does if it frees some wages for us.

not is Brendan has any interest him him being here it doesn't we need him playing after his injuries, we need him playing if we want to sell him

Even if I mentally insert punctuation, I can't get that to make sense.

 

[Skitzo]

what part of we need him to be playing are you not smart enough to understand? Either we want to keep him, in which case we need him to play to develop or we want to sell, in which case we need him to be playing to attract a buyer...

The second word should be 'if'. Makes sense then.

See, punctuation helps us all!

Which part of my suggested reasons don't make sense to you? If the only level of club that would guarantee to play him were league 1, and he refused to drop, what should we do? If the other clubs couldn't afford his wages, we may as well keep him and he sits and rots here.

Plenty of players who aren't being played get sold, including one of our own this very window, so that argument is ridiculous.

Pretty sure he is/used to be a teacher, should have more experience than most at extracting some meaning out of random piles of words

Was. I must admit, I was being facetious. Long streams of words just signify laziness, and I can't be arsed to invest too much effort into decoding them at the minute.

 

[mabrah]

But arsed enough to be facetious

 

[Matt_B]

But arsed enough to be facetious

We'll, obviously. It's never too much effort to be facetious.

 

[mabrah]

Ah, it comes naturally. Welcome to the club! I was accused of being facetious before I even knew what the ****ing word meant!

 

[Robin127]

I used to think it meant shitting a lot.

 

[mabrah]

It does.

Been thinking about the Benkovic situation. I think the ruling in the Premier League is that you can only use two on-loan players during a match. If it's the same in Belgium it's not surprising he isn't playing as Eppiah and Sowah are generally in the matchday squad.
