This the clutching at shortest of straws but maybe he can't get a buyer because the loan is included in the price. Maybe just maybe he gets the loan back and then sells, ah we're not that lucky are we ?
I never really think a player isn't trying their best, some of ours like Atsu, Manquillo, Clark, Darlow and such are not good enough, and why Rafa wanted money to spend on better players who make better decisions, who would bring better quality.
How about the ref giving us the stonewall penalty he wasn't even looking at, literally the one thing he's meant to do which would have killed the game at 3-0.
