    Apparently he reckons;

    'Focus on where you want to go, not currently where you are now'.

    If he doesn't focus on where he is he won't ever get to go where he wants to go.

    The less spoke about this joker the better and the sooner he is gone the better. Your never going far in football if your 6ft odd then when a balls crossed in 5ft 7. career change needed.

    It would be interesting to know how much it's actually cost not just wages to have him here for 4 months, it's been a waste of time for him and half a season off his career. He should have gone months ago and maybe we could have had someone who might have at least tried a bit.

    Thing is though we agreed a loan until January we even agreed a fee a believe subject to him impressing on loan. It's not just as easy as sending him back least we didn't just buy him and give him a 2 or 3 year contract and pay Bolton a fee.
    I'm not sure if we could have just ended the loan halfway through without Bolton agreeing to it and there not going to want that waste of a shirt back to pay his wages when they can't pay rest of their squad

    You are right you couldnt just send him back but like you say it seems the only party to benefit from this loan was Bolton who saved a few quid not us or the player.

    Can anyone tell me the point of retaining him?

    Say what you want about loans but in this case, it was a good deal for us coz we wanted him permanent!!
    So that would have been another 1 or 2 year deal and having to pay somebody (again) up to free wage space to bring someone in who actually wants to play football!

    We tried to. He turned us down. So we got him in on loan anyway. And then we're surprised that he isn't motivated. Someone who doesn't want to sign for us doesn't give us his best when we bring him in on loan? I would have never believed it.

    Can only assume that he knew his number was up with the Trotters so he wanted to put himself in the shop window at Oakwell. No intention of signing for us all along I suspect. The fact that he scored a cracker on opening day and then got dropped probably didn't do his confidence much good but, then again, he doesn't appear to have put in much effort to get his place back.

    Curious one this. He looks a decent player on paper, and is still representing Ireland at U21 level, so he must have something. Must be a mental thing. Doesn't want to be in our gang so is sulking in the corner. Shameful if that is true.

    Could be the next Jon Walters. Looked poor for us but went on to have a decent career.
