I think if he's refusing to play, fair enough

but as I said above, buendia and cantwell both did the same in the summer of 2020 then went on to have their best seasons for us.

Maybe selling him will turn out to be the best thing, but I don't think we should just accept it and let him go.

        Did they refuse to play? (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:14:42
        
        I don't see any distinction there (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:20:37

        And while we despise Nunez (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 12, 09:05:38
        
        Yes, he was absolutely pathetic for the second half of last season (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:10:47
        
        So was everyone else though (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:11:25
        
        He was one of the worst offenders, if not THE worst offender (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:13:56
        
        I’d rather Sarge put a shift in to get a move tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 09:16:10
        
        But that is still a possibility (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:28:04
        
        appreciate your optimism but i can't see it happening (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 12, 09:32:14
        
        I'm not being optimistic; I'm right ;) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 09:34:09
