he is not a target man so therefore not a like for like replacement anyway.... and quite simply we have been a lot less likely to win if he is playing than any other player...hope he kicks on in Germany and we get some money for him.. why do people want players here that are clearly not working out ?

In all fairness to the OP and irrespective of if - to date - his transfer has not worked out, he is our second best striker overall. The other striker back up options are not deemed target men either, so barring finding a replacement, personally I’d have kept him until the summer. This is based on our current league position and very real time threat of relegation as my thought process would have been different if we had nothing to play for.
Moving forward, I tend to agree that a successful stint back in Germany will make him a more sellable asset, one in which the club could potentially cash in on this coming summer. Hopefully, we will still be in the more financially lucrative Championship, as opposed to League 1.

2nd best striker is opinion and sorry but not mine.... we lose more with him than we do without him and desperately need wins.
