I can. Nobody wants him because he’s not good enough. Surely a championship club could afford him though. Even at a couple of million selling him is better than keeping him.

If we could sell Clinton N’Jie back to France, SURELY someone will take GKN?! o_O

Probably not a popular opinion but I don't think he's that bad. When I've seen him on the pitch he's been OK, certainly not outstanding but not the worst player I've ever seen.

Clearly in training he's not doing enough to warrant regular game time, but surely he's good enough for a team somewhere. I wonder if he's on quite decent wages (comparable to his talent) which is why he's difficult to move on. If this is the case it'll probably be another loan move with us carrying some of the wage bill.

He's got a fair measure of talent. That cross to Winks. I was at the Bournemouth match where he came on and looked sharp and speedy but got injured after a hospital pass putting him through against their keeper. Just another one where he doesn't seem to fit in where Poch is concerned.

And yet. He's in the squad for the Audi Cup fixtures. It's too late for Vinny sadly, but GKN? Just maybe?

Could he possibly be one of those to recruit within for wing back. Never know, Rose was a converted winger afterall. Dont think he has the ability to do so but then im not a football coach.

Someone commented on his physique and constant injuries. I don't think he's durable enough to play at FB. Seems for whatever reason the club don't hold him in high regard and neither do any clubs he's been loaned to. Very strange situation and hope he gets a move away.

Don't know why he gets so much vitriol on here. It's not like we've all had to watch him being garbage for the past 3 years. When he has got on the pitch I don't think he's done too badly.

It was worth a punt at £10m, just turned out he’s not good enough

It’s because people think he is preventing us from bringing in shiny new transfers. Lots of hate starts to get flung around this time of window...

I just don’t understand this guy. Everytime I’ve seen him play he hasn’t been great but he doesn’t look like a player that is unsellable, or a player that couldn’t go on loan to a struggling Monaco and break into the team. He’s also young, how can’t we find a willing buyer for him.

Thought he did more than o.k tbh - certainly his work in the middle third of the pitch was good, some good passing and some good hold up play. The least impressive bit was when he was facing up to a defender and 1 on 1....which was the bit you'd expect him to be best at tbh ! Maybe lacking in confidence though so even that part could improve ?

I wouldn't be calling on him to be given a chance at Spurs just yet, but equally, like many others, im baffled why he can't find a club to play regularly at - see plenty worse than him most saturdays.

If I were a championship side, or even a lower of prem side, i'd be very interested in him. With a boost to his confidence he really could be a tidy player, and ive thought that since I first saw him. Maybe not got quite what it takes to be in a 'top six' side, but im surprised he is so hard to shift. He can't be on terribly ridiculous wages surely that we can't do something to compensate...?

Has to be a mentality\attitude problem

Maybe could have experimented with him as a lb. imagine be as competent as George who isn't a lb either .
