Is that when the coach leaves without him?

He was excellent against us until he got sent off. Looked a decent playmaker midfielder thought he controlled the first half of that game. Wonder if he will go back out on loan?

They love him on here: https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/60959-arblaster-recalled-back-to-sheffield-united/#comments
He was stretched off a few weeks ago though so a few weeks out. Also sort of makes sense if he's had rave reviews, could be a player for Sheff U in the Championship next season.

Kind of fits us in one way - damaged goods/finding something we wouldn’t be able to afford if he was in full working order. Must have some serious quality to get to England u21, and Liverpool debut, etc
only works if lcfc can getting inside his head, and convince him a massive drop in wages and a reset could get him going again. This is where a good coach of young(ish) players would become an asset, and a way to compete with the big spenders. big risk caveat - as with eardley, bridcutt, walsh, grant (to an extent), bishop, Walker etc etc etc
from the ceo post
Our method is to (on the whole) sign players pre-peak and work with them to develop them into their peak.
To add more detail, this may be end of pathway players either at end of contract and free of compensation (so 25 years old), or end of pathway (24 and under), but with agreements from their club to smaller fees, with a shared future interest in their development.

Are we applying the "no dickheads" rule though? Another Ravel Morrison type? Even the best man managers rarely turn those around. Signing a player with that record would be, as Sir Humphrey used to say, "brave".

Interesting, do you have a link to his ravel-esque behaviour?

My immediate thought was 'Cameron Stewart' when I saw that Ejaria had been released. This is interesting from a year ago:

Reading FC have told out of favour midfielder Ovie Ejaria he can leave the club this month, according to reports over the weekend

Vale fans believe Wilder has said that he’ll be part of the first team squad for the rest of the season.
Between Arblaster and Devine - they’re doing something right in convincing clubs for loans.
Club captain in on loan? That’s a different one!

Not necessarily saying he's a direct equivalent of Morrison, but that record suggests talent and the application of it are not aligned?

Where was he against Blackpool? Has he already joined the shadow injured squad?

He could only be registered to play on January 1st, so was ineligible until the day after.

So a move possibly based on 'cheap', rather than 'good'.
