Because it doesn't benefit the player or Forest for him to be on our bench as 3rd choice or not even in our matchday squad as 4th choice. If that were the plan he'd be better off staying as a backup at Premier League Forest like he was last year.

That in part was probably due to him being new, tiring and only joining a few days beforehand. Subbing centre backs for non injury reasons is very rare.

I think Abbott will be regulary starting alongside Schlotterbeck relatively soon. Forest will expect him to get regular game time, if he doesn't the loan is pointless fir him and Forest. If he is 4th choice for us he won't even be on the bench. If he is 3rd choice, you rarely sub your centre backs to have fresh legs, like you do with strikers and other positions.

The spine is stronger than it was for the first half of last season when we dropped lot of points and pretty similar in strength to the second half of last season when we did extremely well.

If (and it is a big if) he does well and they want him, it looks like St. Louis are capable of signing players for relatively big fees. So they may actually be able to fund his buy option. They just broke the MLS record for a MLS to MLS purchase with a $12m buy.

Not the answer to life, the universe and everything!

A club looking to loan him wouldn't need to.

Those are his PL wages, not those after a 40% relegation reduction clause.

It is a shame we don't get to hear Dave Merrington pronounce Princewell Ehibhatiomhan tonight.

We are already above 2 of the relegated Premier League teams despite starting on -4 😉

Peretz, Wood, Stephens, Manning, Welington and Bree were all here playing for that 21 league game unbeaten run. Were they bad then? We've added Schlotterbeck to that group and will add another.

3rd place from last season Millwall with Schlotterbeck playing for us didn't.

and?

They haven't announced anyone and it is past the cut off point to play tomorrow

At Championship level it will

Premier League clubs like Crystal Palace can offer even more. 🙄
