Well, the whole, he can be loaned next season as well, says to me that RDZ sees no future for him here. Sad because he looks a player to me, but RDZ knows more about this than I do. I also don't think decision making is a deal breaker in a player that age. That will come with a bit of...

And we all hope of course that we sign a top level winger. Though a lot can go wrong when you're looking to sign players. It's a random process and realistically we won't get anyone in till much later in the window. They also cost a lot. Whereas this player is already ours and we're already...

Well possibly, but we've got 2 cup rounds and 5 or 6 very winnable league games between now and when the AFCON players come back. All well and good thinking about next season, but let's not burn off the one we're on for the sake of it. I also don't really accept that he would never play if and...

Don't know about this couple of games thing. AFCON and The Asia cup will be going on till mid feb. Even then, will players who have played in the latter stages be coming straight back into our side or be given time to recover? I love it that we look after the long term interests of the club...

I'm with you here. There has to be more to this than meets the eye.

Agree. With our rotation policy he'd have played. In the times he was fit last season, he put in some very impressive performances. At Everton he was magic. Ability isn't the lad's issue, it's fitness

No. But Caicedo didn't on his loan spell. And we're paying his salary and likely we were paying most of it when he was at the Hawthorns, so if he isn't happy coming back, which there's no evidence at all for, he probably shouldn't have signed the contract

I just don't think it will be like that. Look at the amount of rotation we do. Even if all are fit, which is a massive if, he'll get games just like everyone else. We still have 3 fronts to compete on

Two points. First there is some sort of tournament in africa and in Asia to factor in. Secondly what if the rate we get injuries.... About 1 per week or two... continues or even gets worse. Your analysis assumes the returnees come back without hitch and nobody else goes down over the busy...

I agree with this. He was ahead of Facu last season. I think it's only his patchy injury record that meant he got loaned out at all

So we don't know for sure about any recall clause. But it would make no sense to me if there wasn't one. If you're loaning a senior player on high wages with a view to a sale, there usually isn't one or it isn't exercised. But in this situation, where we are agreeing the loan to develop the...

Yes, and we might find that we have some incredible players not even making the squad Best of luck Roberto!

Let's say he's been unlucky so far. If he's unavailable for significant parts of this season, then i'll agree with your assessment.

The lad has to get himself fit. I hope to see that he gets plenty of time in pre season. He has featured on the left, but I just wonder if we'll now see more of him in the MacAllister role

Well look, maybe a little early to say that, but agreeing with the comments made on this thread that the club clearly rate him and I expect to be seeing him put in a strong challenge for a first team place when he's got his fitness to where it needs to be
