Or we just couldn't find someone to take him on.
I'd say that's more likely than him being here because AN has plans for him.

Just said this on another thread, but my theory is that Alex Neil needs to lose one of RVW or Hooper to accommodate a new striker, for budgetary reasons, and that he'd much prefer to lose RVW but Hooper will be sacrificed if we can't push the RVW move.
Sporting Lisbon have yet to sign a striker after the RVW move fell through, wouldn't surprise me if that move still happened.

I think RvW will be named in the squad because of his price tag and wages. We havent been able to move him on, but we couldnt justify having him unavailable. The only way he is going to become sale-able is if he is playing (staying fit at least) or improves his reputation by being effective at some point. Otherwise we may as well do an Ignasi Miquel.
He's an asset we cant to anything with, Lafferty I feel is probably in the same category. Grabban, Hooper and Jerome however could all be moved on fairly easily I feel. You could probably leave these three out and loan them out the next day (though I'd have a heart attack if we did that). RvW and Lafferty are unwanted, so we're stuck with them. That situation is never going to improve if they're left out. They need to be in the shop window at least. Lafferty financially we might be prepared to write-off, but not RvW. So he'll be in the squad to give us a chance of getting rid at some point I feel

I guess this puts the RvW situation into perspective. Sometimes we behave like he's the only player to have ever been a flop

Unless I missed him, RvW doesnt feature. Hard to see how he does better than Cornelius on this list

No-one has reported it on here yet, but Ricky was an unused substitute in Real Betis' 1 - 0 victory over Real Sociedad yesterday. He might even have made it onto the pitch had Betis not gone down to ten men while defending their lead.

Does anyone know how much we got in terms of a loan fee and how much of his wages Betis are paying?

Used just twice off of the bench for Real Betis in two months.
