This is a discussion on a player linked with a move, isn't it?
It was

Until the other one was deleted

Now they have morphed together

Happy days

If he gets his mojo back and does well, gets lots of gametime , experience and confidence it’s very much not to our financial detriment. If he’s not going to feature much this season having part of his wages paid than none is better too.
The key piece of information that we don’t know is if there are other potential moves for him that would be more financially beneficial for the club, or are we just helping Espanyol out.

Best all round lad just gets playing again and I’m sure we’ve not turned down acceptable bids to help anyone.

More likely that we’re still keen on retaining a young talent for future profit and view this as his continued development.

Playing at a level slightly less physical than the PL but with hundreds of quality players is better than dropping into the Championship. He has done nothing, since his injury to warrant a spot even on the bench, and I include his Leeds goal in that comment. That was just pace and a decent finish.
Hopefully he gets his mojo back and returns the player he was two years ago.

Was he ever all that though?
I seem to remember saying at the time that I couldn't understand how he was getting in the team ahead of Odobert.
