To be honest - I think some of it is due to the constraints of FFP - I don’t think we acted in bad faith it just we simply have to be ruthless because buying him would most likely see use selling someone else and it’s not worth it.

If we werent under those constraints I think we would have bought him out right - he would have played a bit more and we would probably all think he’s a waste of money like Guessard.

Unai did give him a chance but he clearly didn’t like what he sees.   He seems to do that with some players and far me it from me to judge him.

I am not sure we have treated him shabbily . As far as we know  he is not playing because he is not playing as well as others

The thing is we don't know as he has barely got a chance, not even getting picked in EL squads says it all . He did score ironically enough v Brentford, bright enough that night from memory.

But he's not playing at all so how can you tell that?

Yes hard to judge on early season as everyone was playing poorly but obviously Unai seems him in training everyday and has weighed it up.  Obviously we cant have a £35 million squad player
