after appearing to be off, and not in the initial squad for tonight, he suddenly appears and puts in a much needed 90 minutes at Dover. So have Betis lost interest ? Are negotiations continuing ? Has someone here shown interest ? Or is he now staying ? Perhaps Tel may have done a bit of sleuthing tonight.

Nothing has been heard of him all pre-season - hasn't touched a ball in anger since they returned on July 1st & suddenly he 's playing 90 mins at dover when he wasn't in the squad announced by the os today.
utter shambles - just like last year with diawarra.
ps - one in the eye for henry & his followers who trust the OS to give us the facts.......yeh, right !
How unusual for you to put a negative spin on it.
He was allowed to miss the first part of pre-season training having played a couple of internationals for Algeria in the close season and then speculation over his transfer meant that he was rightly left out of the match-day squads for Bromley, Gillingham etc. Why give match experience to a player you are about to sell? You are better off playing Semedo/Youga etc and giving them experience of playing CB.
They are given a teamsheet to publish mid-afternoon - later a decicision is made to include a player possibly arriving back separately from the main party.
So even if you are surprised at the obviously late decision to play Boogie, Golfie - why always fabricate
some negative claptrap ?
You always do.
All this was explained on the OS a while ago Golfie. You should try reading it some time
If that is correct then prospective buyers may simply be waiting until January to take him.
Werent they struggling to match his wages?
Signed from Sheff Wed on very low wages relatively for Prem League, probably now one of our higher earners but nothing like the Bent Faye amounts that were a millstone around our neck.
And he wasn't sold in the end because Betis wouldn't put most of the dosh up front - and we wanted the £££££££'s now?
Faye has been conspicuous by his absence - and the silence in the press has been deafening.
From my understanding, Faye was training with another club, but i'm not sure if he is still there or this has been terminated.
Bottom line, we want rid, but at present there are no takers. I presume its hoped in the run up to the season starting / window closing, someone takes a gamble.
Looks like players can swan off their contracts regardless but their employers can't. Modern day football is great eh?
Reminds me of Winston Bogarde at Chelsea earning £40,000 p/w for 4 years without actually doing anything!
I think the real sticking point is that he's been named in the football corruption report. I really can't see any team taking him on with a potentially long and exhausting court case dangling over him. Would you sign a player knowing that he might have to miss a lot of matches/training and maybe even get jailed?
