Sordell

Neglected children generally do have attitude problems.

It feels like we've had a season of non-stop bullsh1t. Kakuta wasn't given a chance. Tuncay never got a fair chance. As paying customers, fans deserve an explanation as to why a £4m player doesn't even get a run out when a games effectively lost.

These are fan-alienating decisions!

It's because he's "rubbish in training"

the other players must be fcuking world beaters in training then, and yet utter balls on matchday... hmmm.

My guess is that it's somat to with bonus pay......if you play a certain amount of games they get some sort of Prem bonus.....or signon payment.....something along those lines. It can't be footballing reasons ....Tuncay is an international player who always looks lively .....Sodell can't be worse that SKD at this point.

I highly doubt a small appearance bonus would keep him out of the team tbh, not in a relegation battle.

That kind of thing would only happen if we were in administration.

What kind of contract has an appearance bonus after 3 appearances.

Or maybe it's minutes based, 10k every 16 minutes you play.

so far its £3,500,000 for 16 mins

One game and Watford get a bonus? That actually sounds like a Coyle deal. He'll be on The Apprentice next week.

and the sad thing is, in the few minutes he's had, he's actually looked bright.

The whole business of signing Sordell has been bizarre. In January him and Myachi were touted as the new bright young things to come out of the Coyle think tank. I do think Myachi has definitely got potential but he will probably head back to Arsenal at the end of the season. Sordell on the other hand has hardly been given a sniff. We are in a bloody relegation dogfight so what have we possibly got to lose by giving him a game ?

I heard something very similar on Wednesday regarding Sordell, apparantly he has a clause in his contract that says if he plays a certain amount of minutes and we stay up then we owe Watford over £1million.

I can't see it myself but i've give up trying to figure out why OC isn't playing him.

Sorry Aaron but that is nonsense.

Yes, he may have a number of game clauses, maybe 10, maybe 20.

but who in their right mind would put in a clause demanding an extra 1 million pounds when he breaks the mighty threshold of 25 minutes played.

Normally I would agree with you, but this is Coyle! He signed Tuncay & Kakuta with a clause that said they weren't allowed to play.

Whats the point of him training all the time, when he's not going to be playing? May as wellsend him on his holidays.

Loaning him back to Watford would have been a fantastic deal for everyone involved.
