Can't see what the fuss is about..Just deregister him. 

 

It's a mistake (again). But why compound it? Suck it up and move along. 

Not sure we can 

we’re contracted to hold his registration till end June.  Probs only get out is if palace recall him.their recent form has probs helped because they’re clearly not in a relegation battle now so they’ll care less than three weeks ago.

I assume we’re not compelled to keep him in the squad of 25. Unfortunately just leaving him out of the squad probably isn’t an option as can’t afford to get someone else in unless Edouard is off the wage bill.

Can we just pay Atlanta to put in a bid, Palace recall him, then Atlanta withdraw

Is it true we paid a decent wedge loan fee on top of his huge wages????

[Blue-fox]

Has he gone yet?

I don’t understand why we don’t just play him. We don’t have the players and/or quality to setup how Ruud wants us to, go to 3-5-2, help an aging 38 year old out, and get Daka/Edouard alongside him.

Might as well at this point. Would be so typical for him to have 2 good games towards the end of the season though and we make the deal permanent in the summer

The mismanagement at our club just becomes more evident as time goes on.   Who signed off on this loan deal thinking that locking it in for a year was good business.  ??

It’s the one thing I’m holding RvN to account for in his horrible tenure so far. He’s not looked to change shape bar the last 10-15 mins where we are chasing a game. He should’ve realised that we don’t have what he needs to implement his style properly. Do something different. He’s not even really utilised the whole squad.

Presumably he's really shit and RvN doesn't want him anywhere near the pitch.

Several players fall into that category of being “really shit”,  they are turning out for us week in week out, some even up to three times a week.

Well that just shows how bad Edouard must be if he can't get a look in with those players around...

It's a loan and we're short of options. 

 

It's hardly like they've got our pants down and we're stuck with him. 

 

They're the idiots sending him off to make room for Nketiah.

My point is try something different, everything else is failing.

I think you’re missing my point of the manager trying something different, when everything else is failing.

I’m not missing the point. RvN and the coaching staff have seen Edouard at close quarters on the training ground. If he was capable of improving the team, he would be playing. The fact that he’s not even in the squad tells us he must be utterly appalling - and indeed he looked exactly that in his few cameo appearances for us. If your idea of ‘trying something different’ is to play somebody who will make us even worse than we already are, then I’m just glad it’s not you making these decisions.

We can get worse? By playing two up front and utilising the squad? Okay.

 

RvN and his misfits of a coaching team also watch the likes of Coady, Vestergaard and Justin, to name but a few, in close quarters on the training ground.

Oh believe me, we can indeed get worse. 😂

 

The difference between Edouard and those other players you mention is that RvN has very few options in defence. Justin has only been playing because Ricardo is injured and until this week RvN didn’t have another RB to choose from. Now Coulibaly has arrived, I expect Justin to make way. Edouard was only recruited because Daka was injured and we needed a back-up striker. In the event it didn’t take Cooper to realise that he’s absolutely honking and shouldn’t be anywhere near the first team - a judgment that RvN clearly concurs with. Now that Daka is fit again, as poor as he is, Edouard’s position in the squad is completely redundant.
