A pretty poor choice of words on my part but you get my point. When clubs do bad business it always ends up costing the club either way and unfortunately he’s another player who falls into that category so why not just take the hit, get him off the books and let us and him move on. People were happy enough for us to do it with Cardoso and it’ll be the same when we inevitably pay off Herrera, Pena, Hodson, etc, etc. He offers us nothing and I don’t understand why so many people want to percivere with him when he’s shown no signs of being able to stay fit and contribute.

What do we actually gain from paying him off? All it would do is leave us even more financially out of pocket at the moment as we would be paying a one off lump sum instead of it being spread oved the rest of his contract. Also, even if there is a 1 in 10 chance Rossiter will contribute to us, it's clearly worth sticking with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see any comparison with the players mentioned tbh. Wanting somebody off the books because they’re shite is not the same as getting rid of someone for being injured. Those players walk straight into another job with a lump sum in their pockets, nobody is going to sign a badly injured player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the comments on here make it sound like it's the guy's own fault he's been injured. Probably farting against thunder but we can only live in hope.

I think his omission from Europa Squad has had a lot of people quite understanably writing him off. Perhaps he can still play some domestic games when for example we return from Moscow? I know in advance people will quote "hes made of glass" but i think if he ever gets fit? Then it will be like signing a new player if he can play like he did against the spoonburners 5-5 gane that would do me. gbm1989 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the boy is very talented and would love to see him get a run of games and put the injury record behind him. But it's been 10 appearances in 2 seasons now. Surely a time must come if this injury record continues that we have to ask tough questions, is it worth while keeping him on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading insurance only kicks in if he retires from football due to injuries while at RFC. If he's still training etc then we pay him or let him go, the risk with any transfer.

Yes - by carrying on paying him we can still see if he can shake of the injury(s) but by getting rid we might just be losing a class player to another team - he is still a young lad with 10 years in front of him - well worth some patience Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 When he’s fit he looks a good addition, but you have to wonder if he’s just not physically cut out for the demands of football. heres hoping he comes good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is injured we would make a claim, it's similar to being self employed and having insurance. Whilst the club is paying JR we will be receiving money back. born a blue nose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsa 3,906 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can't understand why people think we'd be better off paying the remainder of his contract and telling him where to go. Firstly, it's not how the club should conduct itself and secondly, it makes no business sense. We're going to have to pay him anyway, far better he's here so that if a miracle occurs and he's fit, we have a playable or saleable asset.
