I missed the game last night because of work and I haven't seen Arnold mentioned anywhere, was he injured ? sorry if this has been mentioned and answered elsewhere.
Ah I thought that must be the case, its a shame really whatever is going on, thought he looked useful on Saturday when he came on, reminded me of a slightly smaller version of Hearn.
According to PH in interview he has another calf injury.

There are more questions than answers on this one.
Yeah, well I think it's time there were answers. I just feel that Hurst's reply to questions about Arnold implied that he was holding back something. Like there was a subtext that had to be concealed. No sympathy was expressed - feeling for the player who has been plagued by endless injuries. No mention of his spirit or his determination. Just Hurst's comment that "he's unavailable to me". Now why did he choose that particular phrase? Something's not right here and this is costing us in terms of money and squad planning and management. If he doesn't want to be here or there are off the field issues, then we need to replace or release him. There's no time to skirt around the subject.
I'm not a conspiracy nut, but there's surely more to this than we know.

We're only the paying (sometimes) customers - we've got no right to be informed.
I did ask before , why can't we send him back , but unfortunately both parties Cambridge and ourselves have to agree . So if they don't want him back we are lumbered . If he did go back , because it was a season long loan , we are the only club he could go to within this season on loan . So basically getting paid for a year on the sick. End of the season he goes back to Cambridge and starts again as a league player with his parent club . Cynical view , but if he doesn't want to be here , if rumours are correct , do something about it now . Get someone in who does , easier said than done , but that is the managers job , that's what he gets paid for .
I've heard that he's been complaining that he doesn't feel right and the club have told him it is all in his head. Arnold yesterday paid for a scan off his own back that revealed the injury is higher up his leg than our medical team have been treating.
Got to question our medical team, I recall Adrian Forbes wasn't very complimentary about Dave Moore.
