I have just kinda assumed that maybe they've internally had word that he won't be coming back next season, therefore as I think RDZ has probably seen the season as over from not long after the Roma game, he feels it's more valuable to give those minutes to developing our own youth products?
Those saying they've never seen anything to suggest he could be top level, I would suggest watching his goal against Ajax (away) again. The way he takes the ball completely in his stride without dropping any pace, and the calmness and ease of the finish - it was all top class.
His first touch...
He's also spectacularly thin-skinned, often sniping at Brighton fas via veiled comments. And he trolled us with the Hammond signing, knew exactly what he was doing with that one.
