You just know he'll score loads for them, this club is cursed.

If they can't afford to pay his full wages, why should we help them out? Bad deal, keep him here or sell him and get better
It wouldn't though, it would hinder them, we'll, for 3 or 4 games until they come to the realisation that he's (oop's, nearly swore) not very good.... 👀
Playing the ball to his feet, not his head and he'll come good. He's proven that he can score in this league, we're not utilising him properly.

He's not 💩 for this league

There's been loads of times when he "nearly" scored but never took the opportunity.
Was the ball launched onto his head?

But he's had his chance. This was one of the failings for us. A massive investment that went wrong. I can't fault the owner for buying him but it's time to cut our losses maybe? I don't know if we will ever see the best of him like that video which was floating about but the fact that he might be going out on loan is an indication that Phil Parkinson won't get the best out of him. At least this season anyway.

If he goes out on loan it'll be because he can't play to his hoofball tactics..

No it wasn't. The main failings over a long period and the reason he's in and out of the side isn't his ability, but his inability to put a shift in. Simple as that to be fair.
