    Bit harsh Mark. You buy 9 players, one makes you lots of money, three are good servants to the club, three go in and out so you recoup a little money and wish them well, and one goes for free. Swings and roundabouts. You win some, you lose some.

    You're more up on these things than me Mark. Is there a trading/balance sheet somewhere covering the last few years. I imagine it makes good reading for the Pozzos. <cheers>.

    Maybe true but he has hardly kicked a ball for us in 2 years which I guess could be bad luck or down to poor medical treatment.

    I am sure Kaboul would have been a very useful experienced player if fit.

    We had our go a few seasons ago. I cannot see the number of loans affecting us too much unlike, say, Chelsea. They do buy and sell players though and not all are here. That Fifa have not addressed the issue of the amount of money the agents take is a different matter!

    There is bound to be an upheaval for the Pozzos who sign a young player, lend him out to an EU team so that he can get a passport, then bring him to WFC.

    We have an income stream of around 15 loanees right now. They may buy a share in various clubs so as to spread the load subject to how FIFA bring in the regulations.

    Our owner and his family have been in football for 25-30 years so im sure they will be planing the What if the UK leave the EU (i know thats never going to happen ) and What if rules are brought in about loanees The next one could be about a feeder club in Scotland as they would be called Home grown i think

    Shame but think Kiko is a good replacement.

    The simple option would be that you 'sell' the player to the club you wish to loan to and insert a First Refusal clause or something like that....I am sure it is well in hand

    I don't know why he would admit to that. He or the team could be charged with bringing the game into disrepute apart from future on field issues.
    Expect to hear more from Zaha and others now.

    I think we may see disciplinary action by the club if the reporting is accurate. That would seem a smart move. Certainly I, and I imagine many others, don't want to be associated with such stupidity. It is a pity but we seem to have so many sensible, responsible players in the squad maybe it is time to say thanks but no thanks.

    The appeal against the Kabasele red card has been successful, so he is now free to play.
