The OP comes from someone who is not prone to hyperbole.
If his family is giving it large on social media then he needs to tell them to pipe down.Unless he is of the same accord. I don't doubt he gives 100%+ everytime. As would you and all of us on here. That alone is not good enough of course. As a squad member is where I see him ... not as 1st choice in any position. If that troubles himand his family then a parting of the ways would be best for all concerned.

Could it be he’s been told he is available given he isn’t a starter and is one of the few we will get a fee for and it hasn’t gone down too well?

Essentially we need to minimise the amount of first teamers we let go. I’d prefer to keep him but if it keeps Palmer and Molumby….

I would like to think in the first instance though that we are exploring ways to get rid of big earners who won’t command a fee or feature like Reach, Bartley, Chalobah.

Given the choice, it's always best not to keep someone who doesn't want to be here.

Agreed. But you can see it from his family’s point of view. Lack of first team action means not playing for your club or being on the radar for others. It is a career, after all.

Whats the blues connection?

I’d rather not sell him as I rate him quite highly and can cover a few positions. If Corberan doesn’t like him though, it’s pointless keeping him around for the sake of it. Perhaps the money for him is the reason we are able to turn down Luton’s bid for Palmer

Anyone got any links to what his family are saying?

This is my view. Allegations, rumours, attitude whatever, I've seen no evidence at all of any of this when he plays. For the pittance we'd get for him, we'd be better off with him around.

Completely this. I imagine Carlos would rather let Chalobah go as well given he was given the green light to move to Israel but we need someone else now to take over his contract.
