Unless of course he's injured
Its a bit strange, as he was on the bench for 2 away games not long ago, but then youngsters replaced him in the next home one - and then he's not featured sinceWith all the injuries he still can’t get a place on the bench. He must be horrendous.
He’s been sent to the “Sammy Ameobi” Triangle.
I think LessoftheLip might be there as wellHe’s been sent to the “Sammy Ameobi” Triangle.
Cost a couple of mil
Yes that’s what I thought he’s been completely bombed out. It’s very common for fees to be appearance related these days. You’d think after a couple of poor years that hoppes would be. Might be lucky and get rid for just 1m lossWonder if the Hoppe situation is connected to performance related payments? If he’s on some sort of per game bonus or the fee goes up after so many games and he’s under that for now.
Whatever the reason to be fair to the player he hasn’t kicked up a fuss yet so he’s probably not a bad egg.
He’s still probably quite a way under the trigger point. He’s made just 6 appearances for the first team. So can still keep him around but if we’ve decided to cut our losses the. We will only put him on the bench in an emergency. We’ve had a few emergencies recently.Why would he be on the bench at all though if anything to do with his fee or contract was going to affected? It makes no sense to include him, not bring him on and then leave him out completely because it might cost you money to play. You just wouldn’t put him on the bench full stop.
