...that sounds very simple, Bruce, but we don’t know if he went out on loan ‘to get games’. There were rumours of bust-ups, Silva not happy with Vlasic’s attitude and him and Mirallas being banished to train on their own.
I have my doubts he’ll ever play for us again, the plus being that we should make a decent profit on him.
Whatever the reason for him going out on loan, surely all we can expect from the loan is that he a) plays games, and b) plays well. Whether we keep him or move him on, doing both of those things will help enormously.
