    I couldn’t think of a more unsuitable centre mid for a team in the third division of English football whose coach tells us the aim is to play high pressing, front foot football.

    I find that hard to believe considering we've got the likes of Dallas, Lopata and until yesterday, Lofthouse, who clearly don't have a future with the club, but are still in all of the training videos and photos. You'd think Nwakali would at least be in the building until he's found somewhere. And presumably, he's still being paid.

    He may be on sick leave with Mental Health problems. If this is the case he wouldn't be expected to come in till he's well

    With someone of his track record it was crazy to give out a three year deal. Good footballer but lazy and hourihane wont be having that this year.

    I've absolutely no idea if him having a photo is a mistake or not, but talks between the club and his agent have been going on a while, we're looking to offload permanently but maybe open to a loan depending if we can get most of his wages covered.

    Surely that's a breach of contract from him, meaning we can just not pay him?!

    Not only would you not pay an absent player, you'd also be justified to sue them for damages.

    I'm not sure how you'd quantify the damages

    If he has just decided not to come back, that would obviously be a breach of contract, but all this is pure hypothesis. We've not heard from any official source that this is the case. Indeed, Redfearn's Rocket is suggesting that it is the club that doesn't want Nwakali anymore, rather than vice versa.

    It would also make sense to get him fit and firing for another club to want him.

    Assuming that we'll only loan him out then there's every chance that he'll outlast Conor at the club.

    Can someone just give factual information as to what's happening? I know there's not a lot to talk about at the moment but I, for one, would just like to read something concrete rather than speculation, hearsay or rumour.
    P.s Did you know that the Romans invented concrete. Also, the Romans invented central heating.... Just saying

    Plymouth might demand we start one down because he’s not playing?
