except that it does, because the club gains more from them going on loan

than Thorne going on loan (iirc they went on loan before the injury crisis)

and i've already pointed out that Thorne's age has nothing to do with him being constantly injured, but a fully fit Thorne may very well be a useful player to have at the club (not on what i've seen of him on those occasions when he has played for us which i've previously posted on here could be down to rustiness) but he's never fully fit!

the true test of whether Grant really sees it like you is if he offers him a new contract or not...

        :) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 15:30:55
      - some thoughts on Thorne based on him as a young player... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 14:58:30
        
        so we signed an injury prone player (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 15:07:58
        
        or we signed someone who has taken advantage of every little knock (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 15:31:02
        
        and you of course know that for fact (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 15:35:21
        
        but this is it pants, you don't know that he gives a shit either! (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 15:39:58
        
        exactly! (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 15:43:57
        
        sticking to Thorne and his constantly injured status (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 16:05:52
        
        again, you are suggesting he wasn't injured! (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 16:13:09
        
        no, this is what i'm suggesting (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 16:38:21
        
        the examples away from thorne are to (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 16:40:59
        
        ok, you tried to compare Henry to Thorne in your post above... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 16:54:53
        
        I used Henry because Wenger (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:07:15
        
        Dion is 37 and still doing it (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 15, 17:39:03
        
        Dion only trains 2 days a week and still gets injured (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:41:58
        
        also Thorne would actually have to play some games in order to be knackered from playing (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:16:30
        
        believe what you want (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:21:11
        
        in relation to that post that doesn't make sense... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:25:02
        
        but age has nothing to do with it in Thorne's case (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:15:20
        
        if you doubt thorne, you doubt the club, and you doubt the medical team (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:23:30
        
        and what purpose would it serve the club to out Thorne as a lazy wanker? (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:27:10
        
        there lies your conspiracy (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:31:08
        
        what? that doesn't make one bit of sense... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:34:03
        
        grants had good comments to make about thorne though (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:35:08
        
        i'll ask again... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:40:37
        
        it wouldn't, but surely if the bloke was a problem he would have gone to oldham no matter (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:44:43
        
        ok remind me of the details of his proposed move to Oldham? (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:49:11
        
        oldham wanted him on loan in january (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 17:54:23
        
        now this kind of depends on the timing of Oldham's request... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 18:04:20
        
        that still doesn't really tally why if thorne was lazy and useless (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 18:12:51
        
        except that it does, because the club gains more from them going on loan (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 18:26:07
        
        club would be foolish to offer him a new deal (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 18:54:50
        
        Thats because these players have usually "done something" for their club (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Mar 15, 16:49:30
        
        Fair enough (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 16:56:45
        
        comparing Thorne to either Ward or Crichton is a complete red herring (NCFC) - blindasabat, Mar 15, 17:07:59
  - Ridiculous to call him a "forgotten man" (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 15, 14:35:32
    - I know, and using the word nightmare, when he's just loving ripping us dry (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 14:36:24
      - To be fair to him, HE didn't call it a nightmare, it was the Pink Un (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 15, 14:39:44
        
        yeah, what a cunt, it's all his fault (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 14:45:48
        
        I agree with pants in a way (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Mar 15, 16:17:53
        
        bang on the money (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 15, 14:49:02
        
        and that louis jean :) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 15, 14:50:59
        
        Yup (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 15, 14:48:00
  - Does it not get lonely up there on the moral highground all the time? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tomblander, Mar 15, 14:35:24
    - he's got his horse with him to keep him company (NCFC) - Dave in France, Mar 15, 14:39:26
      - Do you two share a chip for your shoulders, or do you have one each? (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 15, 14:40:27
        
        I've got one on both shoulders (NCFC) - Tomblander, Mar 15, 14:42:59
