Must be something amiss. Manager after manager haven’t played him now even when fit.
He's there training every day, playing for u23s, whether hes just seriously unfit after 2 years on the sides or something else, just want some clarity on it as a fit Gbamin looks to be something we actually need, the lad can pass too.
 
What real difference does getting paid make with what is a negative asset?

There is as no point giving him away. We take a loss on FFP. There is also no point loaning him if we don’t get a payment, particularly to a Russian club when there is a risk of them being excluded from the global financial system.

You never have watched football? The 2 games he played he was atrocious. Hes so slow a 80 year old would be faster. Totally unable to run. I dont think standing football is good enough for the prem!
 
I don't see this as a valid argument for this fella because we just have not seen enough of him or what he might have been before his injuries. Its a strange one
Reading between the lines of his lawyer's mitigation at his drink-driving sentencing, he's struggled to settle at the club.

"This isn’t his home country. He was born in the Ivory Coast and is a professional footballer. There is some press attention, causing him more embarrassment. Whatever happens here, he will be fined by the club as well."

"He’s lived in the UK with very little in terms of friends and support although that's not an excuse for finding himself here."

exactly, we've had argaubly the worst injury crisis i've ever seen this season, including in the middle and he still can't get in the team, read he's been in 16 matchday squads this season but only got like 40 odd minutes, been fit most of the season and just no wanted by any of the managers,

he was supposed to replace one of our best players but he's been shocking

If we could give away JPG and get out from his contract there isn't a doubt in my mind the club would do it. We are going to take a loss on FFP with him no matter what. As for the Russia issue, if the worst comes to worst the club is in FAR bigger problems than simply not receiving a loan fee

Doesn't paint a great picture does it

Stupid comment. He played 2 games after 2 years.

He must still have a book value of circa £10m. If we don’t get that (which we obviously won’t) then it is an FFP loss.

Having any dealings with Russia right now is just foolish, from a financial and a moral point to of view.
 
Bit harsh considering his injuries like.

But not surprising.
mate he's been in 16 match day squads this season and has done about 60mins in that time, he's not managed to get time despite the injuries we have had all season, the time he did start against wolves ( i think it was that game ) he was hauled at half time because he was truly awful.

he's been unlucky with injuries but he's been here nearly 3 years now and he's contributed absolutely nothing and cost the club about 30/35m in that time
