Would rather we play the future of the club. He’s not part of it. Such a strange signing.

Neither are tuimivave, Houghton, Scott, walker, Sutcliffe, Cator and potentially Sao, but we can't drop everyone just because they're not hear next year. I'd give him another go to see if his loan spell at Bradford has done him any good and if he can improve in an improved team...there were many poor performers at the start of the season, maybe see what Okunbor can do second time round...and if it's nothing, agree, don't let him feature for us again

Bit different, these players have earnt there spots with some good performances and effort.

He was watching Bradford away on Sunday rather than the reserves.

We don’t know this though, if he doesn’t want to go, he won’t go. Clubs got to give him the opportunity to show some worth after a pretty positive spell at Bradford.

No one in the club have once mentioned he won’t be here next year. Kid has a good attitude. Still trained every session with FC whilst on loan and helped out with lots of commercial/fan stuff.

All we can hope is he comes good and then reassess his future in the off season

looks like he will play centre on Sunday otherwise cant see the point of recalling him

Unless Sutcliffe or Carlos are injured he won't start there, probably on the bench at best.

3 forwards out plus potentially Cartwright will see him plsy in the pack again.

just seems a lot more settled in that position plus i would rather see Carlos given a run in the second row a position i think he could make an impact.
You are likely to be correct though and we will see him on the bench

Settled? Only played 1/2 times in that position for Bradford against part time players, think people are getting a bit carried away by him playing ok in the championship.

Indeed. I'd be doing everything to move him on. If he's digging his heels in, make life difficult. He must know he's not earning whatever he's been paid. Most players that take that sort of stance (and to be clear, I'm not saying he is) do it because they know they're not getting another gig as good as the one they've got.

Regardless of any quota rule changes, they should be used as wisely as possible and include as much quality as possible.

You can’t compare any of those to Ock. They’re proven regulars. There’s something else going on with Walker, but the others have been here years and can play.

Refusing to recall someone from Bradford on loan to play back row is not the same as dropping Sao.
