The only excuse he has for not being back at FF is if he's been given permission to tie a deal up elsewhere.
Stop making exciuses for this player. he doesn't deserve any.
What are you on about?
He's been given a weekend off to do as he pleases, as all the players have.
He doesn't need to be at Finch Farm at all.
I don't need to make excuses for someone being given time off. It will have been the manager - your new God Benitez - who decided to do that.
All I said was I'd rather a player be sunning himself in Ibiza with his mates than going out for 12 hours on the ale.
