Whats the point in keeping him if he isn't going to play ? Way to go ;) :015:
No point. So play him. Black has never said he didn't want to play. Everything I know about Black as a player tells me he will be committed as soon as he walks out on that pitch.
Or perhaps we shouldn't play Gatthuesi, Cowie, Byrne, Vigurs, Imrie, Morais, Barrowman or the big Lithuanian whose name escapes me. They won't want to risk injury either given there's every chance they won't be here long-term.
Black will do his best for ICT. No doubt about that.
Ageed. His professional pride would demand that. His track record too, as one of our most consistent players would indicate that he was not in it for the ride. To not play him would indicate that there was a deep ego conflict at work. And what a keeker!
