I actually think and hope Mikel coming in could turn this situation around!

Not a bad footballer but a terrible career choice not to just suck it up and play for us. Downing tools like that for a club will not make people want to sign you, only get away with that if you're world class which he is not. Instead of spending time at Stoke, where he could have been one of the first names on the team sheet, he is going to get sent on loan to a million clubs where he'll have no stability and fail to develop as a player. Yeh because, afterall, Stoke is a great place to play second level football.

For now. Can't see much in his future any more to be honest. It's downhill from here with this guy Which "manager" was to blame for signing him He was a tremendous signing.

O' Neill does not strike me as the forgive and forget type, piss him off and show questionable attitude once, that's it.. your out.. period.. That's no way to talk about O'Neill, he's doing a fine job.

Guess it depends on what he said, what attitude he displayed to O'Neill at the time. If he simply stated he wished to leave/didn't want to play Championship & wasn't an arse then maybe it's possible the manager could give him another chance If he was an arse then can't see a return to the fold being tenable. same goes for Badou, Wimmer & Bauer.
Don't want the other players thinking that an arsewipe has bene given another chance Whereas if he wasn't an arse it shouldn't be an issue
Badou for example I though showed good attitude when he came back under Jones, certainly on the pitch anyway.
And that's without shitty agents getting involved

He wasn’t a great player, he didn’t bloody want to play for us. Yes useful on the pitch but if he doesn’t want to be part of the team then why waste time on trying to keep him.
We’ve tried so many times in recent years to get players who don’t want to be here to try and create a ‘team’
Not possible.

I struggle to comprehend the whole "don't want to play in the Championship" attitude.
Cons: - It's second tier football - The quality may not be the best - You won't be playing 6 CL games before getting unceremoniously dumped out and having to play third rate football in Turkey (this actually seems to be a driving factor for some players wanting to go).
Pros: - It's got the 5th highest attendance of any European leagues - It's one league below the glamour of the PL - You're well paid and in the English football system

It's downhill from here with this guy Which "manager" was to blame for signing him As I remember it he was signed when we had no manager, before the world cup and before Rowett was appointed. Like Bauer he was a player who proved "the manager has the final say on transfers" wasn't entirely true.

Yes he was highlighted by Kevin Cruickshank before the World Cup in 2018 and Cartwright went on to sign him

Banking a cool £20k a week makes it all worthwhile to him. Said this many times ...the players hold all the cards regarding contracts and behaviour that appears to most hard working people to be instant sacking offences. Players are assets to their club and there rests the case for player's appalling behaviour.

Etebo is young and I believe he just wanted/wants to play at a higher level and has chosen the wrong path to achieve that.

We constantly berate the situation of the club when he arrived and for the year that followed. Why then is it hard to imagine someone not wanting to be part of that environment? Maybe seeing that there's now a decent team spirit and some cohesion on the pitch would make someone change their mind. I don't necessarily think that makes them a mercenary or worse

I like Etebo, and would still take him, if he gets his head sorted and is prepared to play for us.....
On the other hand, that N'diaye can totally fuckin do one!!!

I might try saying I'd rather not pay next time I buy something from the shops. Didn't realise it was that easy.

If ever a football match might feature a human sacrifice at some point it would be Galatasary-Fenerbahce I think...

There is talk that the Turkish club are trying to terminate his season long loan deal to bring in another player.Surely they cannot do this without coming to some agreement with us first or find another club for him through his agent.

The fact that the report is of them trying to send him back would suggest they can't just do it.
