It’s the clubs fault without a shadow of a doubt.
We have, or had (can’t tell if we still do as we haven’t bought anyone) a deliberate policy to buy players with ‘something wrong’, I.e., something affecting their value which meant we could pick them up relatively cheaply and stand a chance of making significant profit if we could ‘cure’ the problem.
So it was attitude with Obafemi, constant injury with Walsh, issues with Ntcham etc etc.
Obafemi’s attitude hasn’t improved it seems, but his performances meant he would have made a significant profit when he first wanted to go to Burnley. We didn’t take it, as we were being greedy and/ or naive, so we’ve had to just get rid now (I suspect we’ve still made a profit, just small). The thing is though, we’ve encouraged his immaturity since he’s been here, with constant nonsense on our social media feeds, playing up to it. We’ve ended up where we deserved to be.
Still, I’m sure we have all sorts of replacements lined up given how prepared we were for the window.
