Do know what the problem is with CAMARASSA it can't be the weather its hotter than spain , if by all accounts its a muscle problem have we not got one of those freeze chambers at the tranning ground that could speed up his recovery or send him to cape wrath scotland for a few days.

if he has a niggling injury that he could play through the pain barrier with, we are asking him to put the team ahead of his own interests. genuine team players like bamba are willing to do that, and he deserves great credit for that. although if i were being extra cynical, this is probably bamba's only shot at regular PL football, whereas camarasa is going to get a PL move next year if he wants to stay in this league.

This speaks to a wider issues about loan players and their commitment to the team. Not knocking Camarasa, hes been great for us and the only real bit of quality we have in the middle, but it has to be different psychologically

That's actually a very important and perceptive point. I've long thought that it's not ideal to be relying upon the continued good will of other clubs or the whims of players who can easily engineer a recall if and when it suits them.
Needs must,of course, and we've had to avail ourselves of this option but it'd be good to avoid it in future as soon as we possibly can.

If he's effectively awol that'd be a huge blow, but we need to know as soon as possible whether we can rely on him
