I really don't think we saw enough to make a call, don't remember any mistakes (or to be fair any amazing games), how many times did he actually play?

Without knowing the reason he didn't play its impossible to judge. If he didn't want to then get shot ASAP but based on the complete lack of concrete information, he could just as easily failed a drugs test a la Berahino.

That's a bit left-field isn't it? How'd we have kept that quiet?

I think it could partly a catch 22 situation, he was homesick, then out because of injury, so not picked, which can't have helped his homesickness, put on a bit of weight maybe, wasn't picked by Sam (who didn't really seem interested in him), another knock to his confidence etc. Just stuck in a cycle, shame really I would have liked to have seen what he could do after he settled in. I think he definitely has the potential to be far better than Hennessey if he does stick around and even if he doesn't take WH's place, he'd make a good number 2 competition-wise for Hennessey, might force him to up his game.

I remember lots of people saying Benteke "couldn't be bothered" to play for us as one point, which was complete bollocks.

We could have bought Jordan Pickford for £30 mill , do you think that is good value or a reasonable purchase for CPFC? Not that he would have come but that is the going price for a promising keeper.
What goalkeeper do you have in mind that would be a top premiership keeper that makes no mistakes for around the price we got WH ?
Joe Hart ? Probably three/four times the wages WH is on and lately looks to be error prone at City and Torino.
Everybody and everyone knows we would like a better keeper but what do you suggest and how much do you want to pay ?

I would rather spend the money on Sakho if we have that much money, bearing in mind the impact he had on the team .

I'm sure I read that there were a clutch of players who failed drug tests. If they were appealing the decision then it might be possible to keep it quiet. Who would leak it? Not for one second suggesting Steve M., who probably would not have spent so long angling to go back to Marseille if he was one of them.
