    He's an asset. Unless someone pays us for that asset he'll have to get his head down and earn his move. You don't give a player away just because they've supposedly moaned.

    you cannot grasp it can you ,he is thousands of miles away from home it has been a error all round by him coming here ,he is desperate to return home yet you think hes going to play and earn a move, i would bet my bottom dollar it does not happen,if you have ever been away from family etc for long periods and are homesick it can be to say the least depressing and a depressed person will never give you 100%.
    If gus can change his mind set brilliant if not its going to be another harsh financal lesson to be learnt,and more to the point how is he going to earn his move ,do you think hes going to be an integeral part of the team because i have not seen any signs he will be a first choice player again thats my opinion,we will see in the fullness of time wont we,chow.

    I can grasp it. We paid £3m for him and he was happy to come. He either buys himself out of his contract or he leaves when someone pays what we value him at. Until then whether he gives 50% or 100% remains to be seen.

    What if we'd paid £20m for Neymar five years ago and he got homesick? Would you recommend we sell him at a massive loss? It's just awful ****ing business.

    Yes I lived in a different country to my family for a couple of years, I didn't see them for 6 months+ at a tme. I wasn't earning 20 grand a week to soften the blow. I didn't whinge and moan I did my ****ing job.

    Gus needs another year or so to try and get the best out of him.

    Still waiting for a quote that tells us he wants to leave. That's genuine new information for me and I'd like read about it. Can't find it anywhere.

    Well that's what i was thinking but I didn't want to just dismiss his comments, trying to re-establish a civil online relationship with him, so trying to take his posts more seriously.

    Scocco's agent said his preference would be to return to Argentina, he never said he 'doesn't wanna be hear'.

    If he starts a few games and gets a few goals his whole mentality could change anyway, he's had a tough time.

    A player doesn't lose his ability.

    It's been his preference long before he signed for us. Not new information is it?

    If Gus thinks Scocco has the ability to do well that is good enough for me, we can not judge players to quickly. Whicks got the same treatment and now we are desperate to keep him at the club.

    It's not an Ideal predicament but I'm more concerned about weather he'll adapt quick enough.
