Fecking madness. The bloke is trolling us now. Starting to feel like he knows he's gone and is just making sure the next guy is in as difficult situation as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end when these players come back, I bet they will be a better bunch and players who we can rely on and look to, too fill positions we need them too. Yes, there will be some long term benefit, but what is inexplicable is doing it in positions where there is already a very obvious immediate shortfall. Like lending your neighbours your bed, and sleeping on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Bruce is doing a lot of bizarre things but if RDL was always available for a loan move and yet the only club in the world that were interested were Melbourne. Then I’m afraid his days at a top level are numbered. I don’t care how good he looked in Pre season, he’s finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after a good pre season RDL may have felt he would get a chance this year. He may now simply want regular football after becoming apparent that he isn't in Bruces plans. With the window now closed his only option is to move abroad. Either way it's all conjecture and we'll never know what has gone on. I'd strongly disagree however that he is finished at this level. For me he should have been first choice RB after a really impressive pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he should have been first choice RB after a really impressive pre season. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t advised sooner that he wouldn’t be in Bruce’s plans. If he is good enough to be first choice RB for a team aiming for promotion then surely teams would be lining up? Pre season friendlies don’t mean much in my opinion. It’s just about fitness. If he was always given the impression he would have a chance but now been told he is surplus to requirements then that’s pretty poor by the club. I very much doubt that is the case though.

villa4europe Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 as it is he's 5th choice RB and then i would guess 3rd choice LB and based on Bree getting a game there in the cup 5th choice CB but then when you start to list those that are ahead of him you realise what a shambles it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The fact is, we have to trim the wage bill. If there are players Bruce isn't going to play then he will be getting rid of them. We are desperate to save money. The same reason we can't sign Terry.
