Can understand Drameh leaving for reg 1st team football on loan, but Orta & co scouted him / got him from Fulham, looking towards the future. Ayling & Dallas not getting any younger, Shack, still unsure if he can make it at Prem level, so Drameh could have much to play for and prove etc. We do seem, in a number of cases quick to judge, without giving fair time to develope and improve, yet with a small squad / and for most transfer budget, never seem prepared to have suitable replacements in line.
Whilst I have no problem with Players wanting to go on loan for more 1st team playing time. I do have a problem with players who cannot accept that as a squad member you may not play every game and are willing to "walk out" on their parent club when they are in dire need of all the fit players they can get.
All my family (well Dad's side mostly, Mum's family were/are Scottish and have different team loyalties) are Leeds through and through and I have literally been brought up with "If you do not want to play for Leeds....then sod off. We only want those who want to be here".
I cannot understand why someone would rather be at a Championship Club in 20th place with no 100% guarantee of regular 1st team playing time than be at a Club in the Premier League, learning from a Coaching Icon, getting a chance to play against some of the top teams in the English Premier League and just simply being a part of something special.
So, in a nutshell I am of the opinion that he shouldn't come back as I personally would always wonder where his loyalties lay.
MB got stuck into the snowflake at his presser. Though i suspect its not a big Dramah for El Loco.
I see what you did there.
It is a particularly strange move because Cardiff play with 3 at the back. Basically 3 centre backs, a formation Drameh would not have played much. The right "centre back" and right wing back are regulars and have not missed too many games. So, unless the manager is going to rest regular players or they get injured or he thinks these specific players are out of form, Drameh will be sitting on the bench. I think Drameh simply wanted to go - anywhere. Maybe it was Bielsa, maybe it was the tough training schedule, but it wasn't solely to get regular playing time.
Sounds from the messaging as if his agent was possibly a large part of this. I guess the MB stance is a message to the rest of them - if you want to be a Drameh Queen then cya
Drameh playing today, booked 0-1 down home to Blackburn
