We got conned signing him.
AgreedGet rid. A massive waste of wages
Its more likely nobody wanted him on the wages he's likely on.Why we kept him and let sakala go is anyone's guess
Every bit as fragile as Roofe and takes just as long to get off the treatment table.How many games on the bounce has he managed without being injured?
Must be giving Roofe a run for his money over the duration of his contract?
A more expensive version of Barrie McKay then?It's mental that he is a player who is lightning quick, can drop a shoulder and rattle an worldie into the top corner on old firm day, yet 99% of us would want him binned.

YesFor those who watched the Man Utd/Arsenal game and Rooney making the point about Man Utd injury list which is lengthy like ours. He says players have to want to play and hints that players may not be as ‘injured’ as they make out, I think that’s what he meant anyway and they have to want to get on the pitch and give it all for the club.
Does anyone think that might be the case for some of the players ?
Our injuries have been horrendous. There must be an underlying reason and I believe the current manager has already eluded to this. However our biggest issue is poor recruitment.Without a shadow of a doubt, our biggest issue is our injury problems. It’s killed is for the last 3 years. I posted on another thread - we had: Yilmaz, Souttar, Goldson, Jack, Matondo, Sima, Cortes and Danilo injured or unable to start. That’s the equivalent of Celtic losing: Taylor, CCV, Scales, their 3 choice CH, McGregor, Maeda, their 2nd and 3rd choice left wingers and Kyogo. We also have 2 players who started who have signed a pre contract and Roofe who is out of contract in a few weeks. That’s crazy.
Good shout, a loan back to Germany maybe then try to sell next summer. Gies some extra interest in the Bundesliga too.Best scenario is we he him out on loan and someone takes at least a half share of his wages.
Hopefully he does a Lammers somewhere and we get some of our money back for him.
Lawrence strolled around the park on Saturday, and is out injured again.Is it our medical team? They had Hetate, Carter Vickers, mcGregor, and of course Maeda blows his hamstring and is back in weeks.
Even if they lie about the severity of the injury, nobody seems to stay out longer then planned over there.
Remember Lawrence last year was out forever with an ever changing return date.
Agree. We need to recruit players who are far more robust.Our injuries have been horrendous. There must be an underlying reason and I believe the current manager has already eluded to this. However our biggest issue is poor recruitment.
That side of the business has, and continues to be completely ineffective, and a scandalous waste of money this club can ill afford to write off.
That's incredible, I hadn't heard that.Lawrence strolled around the park on Saturday, and is out injured again.
Were these players sat in the treatment room with previous clubs?We need to stop signing injury prone players tbf. What you save in a transfer fee you lose in appearances. Quality players don't cost buttons unless there's a good reason however our useless recruitment team have failed repeatedly to realise this. Thanks Ross Wilson.
Gees, you must have had very low expectations if he’s not as bad as you expectedHe's not been as awful as I expected him to be and he does seem to have screwed the nut, but just not good enough still. Not reliable.

I know - how?Lawrence strolled around the park on Saturday, and is out injured again.
Probably right in most other situations but wouldn't be the case with us. Our lot can't even get themselves up enough to beat two rank rotten teams down the table which would have put us clear at the top with only a few games to go. I just think our players can't be bothered with the hassle of winning things and having to deal with the pressures that go with it.Yes
If we were top of the league by 5 points everyone bar the obvious serious injuries would be more readily available.
You see it all over the place in football, team on fire everyone is fit .
Team playing poorly everyone injured somehow
Every year I hear all these foreign names and big (by our standards) fees and know f all about these boys and just think we’re going to be some side next season. Last time it worked like that it was Dick’s timeFound the link baffling from what I'd see of him in Germany at the time.
Go ScottishAgree. We need to recruit players who are far more robust.
How many players out with injuries did Septic have on Saturday?Aye we have had injury problems but so have that lot. Sick of the excuses on here we blew it
I’ve previously posted that Ross Wilson has caused our club a lot more damage than people realise financially and performance wise. Along with all his other off the field disasters he appointed Beale.Another Ross Wilson disaster £3 million wasted and he's on well over £30,000 a week.
Good luck shifting that same goes for many others in the squad.
Or maybe the manager has just had enough of him and has already told him to clear his lockerI know - how?
Did he make a tackle??
You must have had awfully low expectations. One of the worst players I’ve ever seen at Ibrox when it comes to the basics of receiving by a pass, positional play, simple control, game intelligence. A horrendous footballer. The odd flash here and there by no means makes up for his inability to play football at this level. I genuinely think he’d struggle at junior level.He's not been as awful as I expected him to be and he does seem to have screwed the nut, but just not good enough still. Not reliable.
They had half a team and a makeshift back four for the 1st game of the season against us. They won 1-0.How many players out with injuries did Septic have on Saturday?
Zero!
How many times have we had a full squad to choose from in any game these last few years?
I can't remember a single one!
No further questions your Honour, case closed.
I do.For those who watched the Man Utd/Arsenal game and Rooney making the point about Man Utd injury list which is lengthy like ours. He says players have to want to play and hints that players may not be as ‘injured’ as they make out, I think that’s what he meant anyway and they have to want to get on the pitch and give it all for the club.

Maybe, the thought of progressing in the EL kept a few on their toes. As soon as Benfica out us out everything turned to dust.Yes
