So if we loaned a player and he spent every Saturday night rat arsed in Popworld etc. you’d have no issue playing him every week just because we’d paid for his loan?
I mean, if he is going out on a Saturday after a game, who cares? Doesn't matter if its a loan or permanent.
 

Would sell in a heartbeat if we were to be offered anything approaching half of what we paid back in 2019.

That said, don't think anyone will be touching him with his injury record.

Let's see how he does pre-season and if Lampard reckons there's a place for him in the team.
 
It's not great, and honestly not indicative of what a modern pro would be doing.

I also think, Russia, over the last 6 months, for a mixed race player would probably have been difficult. It looks like he did well on the pitch there.

Mate they are stuck in the 80’s over there, not just the last 6 months, article below from 2014 about Peter Odemwingie’s time at locomotiv Moscow and him seeing black players have bananas thrown at them.


It can’t have been easy for Gbamin to go there and try and live amongst people who are just openly racist to your face. He must have been desperate to play. I really hope he has a great preseason, stays fit and either gets back in the side or gets a permanent move.
 

If CSKA don't want him there's not much of a market for him, his value is rock bottom. Might as well give him a summer with FL. On the rare occasions where he was fit, he looked imposing. He's a unit and he can move. It might have been - Huddersfield in a cup tie? - but I remember him looking like he was a figure in a toy train layout who was the next scale bigger than all the other figures and he was just bossing it.

Of course then he got another owie, but what the hell- let's see if the player from Mainz is still anywhere in there.
The loan to CSKA was done before the war. I don't think we can do business with Russian clubs.

If he's fit and injuries are behind him, we can give him a chance. I doubt, he will be the player we hoped we signed. After 3 years of serious injuries. But worth a look in preseason.
 
Do we think Frank is giving JP a chance to show him something in pre-season? (And by something, I don’t mean his dong).

I wonder if there’s a chance he might be seen as an option for our midfield next season - especially considering the need for someone in that defensive midfield role.

We don't exactly have a massive squad so every player will play in pre-season while they are here. Doesn't mean they won't be sold if a good enough offer comes in or are definitely seen as 'part of the plan' going forward.
