Don't worry though; all rubbish Westwood will be back playing for us in 2 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Rumour is he slapped in a transfer request after CC went and even when fit again probably won't play again. In this thread I think and was in another too recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens he should be sold while we can demand a relatively decent fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, my inference from Jon Buchan's knowing response is that there's something init. He also boxed in Jos on this point in post -match interview- and covered Radio Sheff's back side. It matters if we are being told porkies all season and , for me, deciding to spend £150 with club for 3 Easter guests against Preston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to disagree pal, with a fit Westwood we’d be a good 6 points better off ..... having said that GK is our strong suit ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe Westwood has a chance of being fit for an international squad in 1 weeks time; yet we've had no news/signs that he is ready for the SWFC squad. Not odd at all coupled with many rumours that all is not right between KW & SWFC. Katriene Miere brought this up at the Steering Group- I'm not 100% certain, but I thought she said they'd asked the ROI to clear things up after the rumour mill started when the squad was announced- hence this statement.

scram Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Before a player joins up with his national team his club will have to send off a form declaring him fit - or otherwise... It is entirely up to the national team whether they require a player to attend for assessment even if not declared fit. Maybe Ireland believe KW close enough to full fitness that by the time off the training camp he will be fit so are keeping him in the squad?

Isn’t it also the case that the club can not refuse a player being called up for assessment to the national squad Scram? Which again makes sense, if Westwood is close to returning to training properly they want to run the rule over him themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Only under very specific and specialised circumstances can a club refuse a player attending for assessment at an international call up The national association holds the power in that relationship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s as simple as that. Big clubs don’t have special dispensation, all clubs are subject to the same rules. Clubs can request the players FA to sparingly use them, or provide medical proof etc. Most international associations will want good relationships with clubs so will work with them.

Yes exactly; the more players come back & play for the team; the more the rumours look incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
