Northern Red Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I assume there must be some financial penalty if we don't name him in the matchday squad, because there's more chance of Bajic coming on as an outfield player than him kicking another ball for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 (edited) There's literally no point in playing him at the moment. If we'd had an injury crisis maybe, but we just don't need him and there's no point in giving him a courtesy run out.

cellist Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 It might be a PR win for the club to just come out and say - we got this one wrong. He can't play football. We've been Ali Dia'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the QPR game I’d prefer it if he did.. Let’s face it, if you don’t come on when we’re 4 up with 5 minutes to play, you’re not coming on at all. Completely off topic but delighted Knight-Lebel got those minutes instead & convinced that might have been done to give Andy King a last few minutes at the Gate too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A totally pointless signing, even if it is a loan, and a waste of everyone’s time really. Feel sorry for the lad. RT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked out away from players and calling a taxi on his own, didn’t seem interested in speaking to fans, headphones on, these things happen but can’t see him getting a deal.

Hartleysbeard Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Quite deservedly, Mehmeti, Wells and Cornick were preferred attacking subs made tonight. In the system we’re playing, with those subs made, there wasn’t scope to bring him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally pointless, but I presume that either we felt he was a better option than Academy players or there was some contractual obligation to include him, even though it was very obvious he was never coming on. I know I got a few facepalm reactions at the time but I saw enough against QPR to know he was just miles adrift of what we were after & I’d have stopped bothering with him straight after that.

The Constant Rabbit Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Put him out of his misery and send him home. It must be absolutely soul-destroying for the kid to be in this position. It isn't his fault he isn't up to Championship standard - it's the people who offered him the loan thinking he was. Terminate it so he at least can get himself something sorted for next season. Feel for the kid tbh 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see yesterday (so can’t say if he was unlucky not to get on)and there is clearly a bit of ensuring we get results as opposed to trying those who “may” be ready to see if they are, but even with that consideration in mind, for DM not to touch the pitch for as long as he has can’t benefit anybody. If we sign him, unless it’s a free and for the U21s, everyone’s going to be sceptical on the value of that deal. And even then, if Westerlo are happy to lose him on a free it adds more questions. It’s been a bad deal for all parties, and the way we’ve handled it with him on the bench and having no chance to get on in reality hasn’t been a great stance for us. We get out of this deal in two weeks, but the damage to DMs career long term may be bigger. We should have let him go back at Easter, or played him in the U21s as a “shop window” for other clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bcfc willzyak Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Atleast he sits on the bench because if I knew I wasn’t go to play I wouldn’t be turning up, at least he must have some sort of a good attitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completely but we have so many “experts” on here, probably the same people who were slagging off the likes of Bobby Reid and Semenyo in their early days saying they weren’t good enough to make it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 (edited) I can’t really blame the club for taking him on loan. Assuming this has cost us little to nothing, then why not bring him in? He has a good youth pedigree. Where they did go wrong was elevating him to a “name” signing in January to make themselves look good. If they’d just put out a statement along the lines of: “We’ve brought him in to have a look”, no fuss or “first day” on YouTube, then there would be none of this.

We could see Semenyo for Newport and Reid had played about 30 games before his breakthrough year . Mebude was brought in by the Manager who sees him every day in training, he has given him a couple of short run outs but doesn't think he's worth a run even in a game that's virtually over. I think people are going to draw ( the obvious ? ) conclusions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
