I seem to recall he played in the cups early then wasn't around for league games. He played 36 games last season in the league. Pretty sure the 2 he missed he hadnt signed yet He got a bad injury vs Newcastle but i think he came back next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this season Yes, it's weird how the brain works sometimes. He missed games 1 and 8 but played a substantial part in pretty much every other game last season. My brain was definitely saying injured a lot. Weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this that he is not being granted international release by the club and Burkina Faso's management stirring it up suggesting its BS. I am sure our medical staff know his fitness and are not being duped. Then again, if he is swinging the lead maybe Gerrard has said get rid, no room for wasters? I have to say none of these stories seem plausible, especially the timing Edited November 24, 2021 by thunderball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is depressing as an outsider, imagine what BT and potentially his family may be going through right now. Yet people are on here saying he should be axed, he’s lazy, he has awful decision making, get rid!! His home country currently has no internet access and hundreds of people are being killed. Even if he was lying about being injured it’s very much forgivable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I'm hoping he's back soon, he's a really fun player to watch imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonVillian Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Will be disappointed if he's sold to be honest. Better than El Ghazi for sure and so far emi has not exactly blossomed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
