yeah much as expected brighton will send him out on loan again i would imagine and hopefully could give us a chance to bring another striker in on loan
 

A lad on Twitter (please stop reading if that first but makes your eyes roll into the back of your head!) mentioned that Khadra's Mrs had mentioned that she was moving to Birmingham.

So either she's ditching him for a Brummie, or this is a possible alternative destination.

It's not implausible they could also make the play offs, like three quarters of the division.

They were pushing the top six a few games back.

Oh Great the last match of our season is against Birmingham, you just know the football gods will be rubbing their hands at the thought.
 
Khadras loan spell has been disappointing, but probably not for the reasons Brighton will convince themselves of.
 
Hope he does go back a very over rated player for me, some blades seem to think he was shit hot for Blackburn because he had a decent game at the lane. He scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 27 games for them Sander already has 4 goals an 3 assist in 16 games this season but yet some would say Rheda was unplayable and Berge isn't good enough?
 
Its the worry that we won't be able to replace him that's concerning, coupled with the fact that injuries are again affecting the squad, and once again were light up top!
We could however, recall Osula, I'm sure he's capable of what Reda offers us, keeping a seat warm and coming on for 10mins every 3rd game.

I tried to find a good source for the buy clauses in his contract. Best I could find, from a credible source, was this from The Athletic:

“loan agreement includes an obligation to buy if United win promotion and he makes a set number of appearances”

Source: Here

So, this could be why he isn’t being played much. If we don’t think he is worth buying, and we think we might get promoted, then the only way out is to not play him.

Very interesting!

No it is not.

Maybe something of the nature that:

1. He features in more than 50% of games through the entire season and United win promotion, then United have an obligation to buy him.

2. He plays less than 25% and Brighton have the opportunity to recall him in January.

3. There is a penalty clause United wish to terminate early.

4. The player may also instigate a termination with the agreement of 1 or both of the other parties.

In the first instance the assumption is he’s become a significant enough player to contribute to our success and it makes sense to have both United and the player make a more firm commitment to Brighton.

In the second instance, he’s nowhere near to the team, we have no intention of picking him, he isn’t going to trigger a permanent switch and all we are doing is devaluing Brighton’s asset and wasting the player’s time.

He’s played in 15 matches.

So in a 46 game season, even if he’s never picked again, he would have exceeded the clause for Brighton to bring him back. However, as soon as he plays in 8 more matches then he would automatically trigger a purchase arrangement.

Perhaps then club and player are evaluating if both parties see his role potentially growing beyond the 16% of available minutes in which he’s featured and whether it’s worth advancing headlong into a further commitment for a player who is already only featuring sporadically.

Then perhaps there is a conversation to be had with the player and agent to see if they can find an alternative club that may mitigate the penalty United may need to pay Brighton for early termination and any further loan fee they may be due.

This may also explain Hecky thinking he wouldn’t be able to replace him because whilst his wages would be gone, then the penalties and loan fees would mean that any balance would not be sufficient to bring in an equal caliber player (unless you get another club to take these obligations).

Not saying I’m correct at all, that’s just the type of scenario which may marry up with some of the comments.

Not good enough and they send back. He might be a success elsewhere but not with United.

Also brought with him a reputation as being a bit of a Billy Bigbollox, and always looked like he was carrying a few extra pounds to me? May all add up with him not being Hecky's favourite just lately.

I'm sure if he's going we've someone better lined up to replace him, plenty would want to join at the minute with how we're going.

surely hecky has somebody lined up if khadra goes back although his comment the other day did suggest our board may need some convincing even if we cant fund a defensive midfielder we have to bring another striker in this month were so close to a fantastic achievment by returning to the premier league we cant ruin that chance by cheapskating now
 

Real shame about Khadra as I was really excited when we signed him. No idea what's happened behind the scenes and with the form/quality of Ndiaye, McBurnie and Berge in that front three it was always gonna be difficult for anyone to squeeze in, but of the two loan players we've got for a similar job after shaky starts, McAtee has now got himself into the first 11 and began to perform, and Khadra isn't even on the bench anymore. Hopefully for his development/career Khadra can find another club this month as there's a quality player in there, but for whatever reason it just isn't working with us.
 
Imo he’s a winger and we don’t do wingers anymore again imo if the lad is unhappy I’d send him back but only if we get a replacement ideally a central striker but a lot of dark things happen in the transfer window so I’d not rule anything out we’ve been down that rabbit hole before.
 
Not made the squad again, so that pretty much confirms he's going back to Brighton.
 
2nd match on trot Reda Khadra left out and not included. Looks all but certain to be going back to the Seagulls
 

Reda?​

Not making the squad
I don't want to be losing a player if I can't bring someone else in

Can you bring someone in​

We should be able to
We have had chats with Brighton

Khadra​

I get Brighton and Reda's position he wants football I get that
But it's on me we don't have a big squad so I need to know we can replace him before we make a decision

What I don't get is why in the meantime whilst we need Reda why he isn't in the matchday squad? Unless Brighton and/or Khadra have said they don't want to play to risk injury to somewhere else but then you've got Hecky saying he doesn't want to release him until he gets someone else, even though as I say in the meantime he's not playing. We've currently only got three strikers and playing Billy for 90 plus minute most games is not going to get the best out of him either. At least we've got the cup game coming up and therefore nearly 2 weeks to get McBurnie back and hopefully another striker to come on loan.
 
I think Hecky is being very clever with this one. Hes clearly asked the board to back him and been told that he can only bring in players of existing players are sold. With the proposed sale of the club it seems that Hecky isn't too confident that he won't get shafted if he sends Khadra back to Brighton and then the board change their minds, so he is publicly putting the ball back into the court of the boardroom and saying he's going nowhere unless I get assurances. If Khadra goes back then we can take it that he's been given the nod. If nothing then happens then we all then know what's happened.

Bearing in mind we have sold 2 X young academy prospects for over a million quid each, if we send Khadra back then imo he's not asking too much from the board asking for support to bring in another front player. I think that's a fair ask. I think we could do with another midfielder but then thats probably too much to ask and I get that. But a decent forward now might just make the difference. A relatively small gamble for hopefully big riches. I hope we back him for a striker.

My take.
We've got Brighton's agreement to Khadra going back.
But we need to tie down a replacement loanee from somewhere and Hecky won't send him back till that's done.
Brighton have TOLD US not to include him in the 18 , to protect their position.
Hecky might think he can get a better loanee than Khadra , but he would never willingly weaken his matchday 18 by excluding him.
This is a gentleman's agreement with Brighton , pending us finding a striker to loan-in.
In other words , Khadra is not "available to us" just now.
So when Hecky says he's picked his best available 18 , he's actually correct , even if it includes kids ahead of Khadra.

We’re probably trying to get the situation to turn a bit sour so Brighton take the high ground and tear up the agreement for the good of the player.

It seems at present if they did nothing and we got promoted then we would have to sign him.

So if he’s not getting into the squad in January, what sort of misery does this inflict upon him having to sign with us, especially if we go up he’d be further away from it. Basically resigned to being farmed out on loan again.

Harsh. But a fresh start would be best for all. Whatever he could have been, in reality he’s that bloke we bring on with ten minutes to go who loses the ball and makes all the wrong decisions.

Jebbo has had far less chances and at least he had an impact against QPR in terms of performance. From Khadra, we have that one moment vs Swansea but then he’s no highlight reel at all to call on. I don’t even remember him having a shot on goal.
