So why hasn’t he signed a new deal then? There could literally be any one of a multitude of reasons why. Perhaps it's close but we're unaware, he could feel he's not being valued by our offer, wants a longer contract, agent playing hardball. Literally anything. I don't think it's as black-and-white as "I'm happy so I'll sign". Football doesn't work like that anymore. I know I was being silly. It’s being in two conversations at once one of which is with Bayern😉 I’ve said above that hopefully getting Batth’s wage off the books means we can increase our offer to Powell who is clearly our best player.

I would imagine to play this guy as a 10 with Powell and Campbell up front or Campbell wide right. Which is fine and potentially very good. But Powell is our best player. He's our best number 10. Use him there. There's going to be a lot of pissed off players too. And I know, poor them but it could become an issue. Our squad is massive. Speculation. None of us has any idea what Gerard wants us to do or MoN plans to do with him. Even the Academy guru on Twitter acknowledges that. Of course its speculation

So you’re speculating that the plan you’re speculating about won’t work? Give over. He's either going to play wide in 343 or as 10 somewhere. I don't think that's too much speculation given what we know. The number 10 thing is also what is being said in the press. So yeah, football fans in talking about football players and football tactics shocker.

Might not be a factor at all but it could be one.

Kangaroo Court is due to sit at 7pm tonight. M'Lud, I would like the court to accept into evidence this transcript of a telephone call relied upon in the case of Oatcake v Rising Starlet........ [transcript follows] Agent: I was wondering if you'd like to take on loan this young player who's been tearing the arse out of defences, is widely acknowledged as potentially a future international, but is not quite ready for the rigours of the EPL and is desperate for competitive game time. His manager salivates over your development of young players, and to be honest he'd piss it in your league. Unnamed Stoke manager: Fuck off - we've got Clucas.

I don’t disagree mate I was simply enjoying poking Bayern’s hubris. He was pontificating that the plan was full of flaws even though he has no idea what the plan is. We might have agreed to him coming to play right wing back for all we know. After all we’ve let Edwards go back to New York. Unlikely I accept but no one other than the respective managers has a clue what the plan is but Bayern knows there are flaws in it. 😉

It's a six month loan for a player we stand no chance of signing long term at the moment. Neither Powell, Sawyers nor Campbell are ready to play and Vrancic has struggled to effect the entirety of matches. MON has watched us slip out of the play off places since Powell's and Sawyer's injuries. By the time they get back and Campbell starts playing well we could have an impossible task. I can't see anyone having their nose pushed out of joint here, presumably the whole squad want to get promoted. We'll find out this weekend if DWP is really ready to play a starring role. Surely it's better to have lots of options for a front three. I can quite see us going 3-4-3 and not playing wing backs as our main creative threat but three mobile quick forwards but I haven't got a clue, just excited for the rest of the season which I wasn't before.

Literally people discussing in an amicable fashion the pros and cons of a signing.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And then you get the knicker wetters thinking it's bad mouthing him.
That's the pathetic part. What's wrong with discussing the potential tactical implications?
No one has said a bad word about the player. Indeed it's been stressed that the only time to judge if the concerns are actual concerns is in a month.
What is actually the issue?
