Barnfred 55
Player Valuation: £80m
I think the bigger issue is whether he would have been cup tied for the League cup, but Reading are already out.If im wrong then it would still mean we couldnt recall him in Jan and send him elsewhere.
So if he wasnt playing or we wanted to push him into a different club in jan we couldnt.
So if we play him now he stays all season with a loan team or comes back to us in jan. Not ideal.
It would be foolish to risk both our first choice CBs this week against Fleetwood. God knows how Barton is going to send them out against us. I'd play Gibson alongside Kean.
