Because the people calling it strange aren’t showing care for the player, they think cos he’s doing work on his fitness then he should be back on the pitch

It goes far deeper than that, the club have every right to not put pressure on him by posting stuff to social media every time he even sneezes because they know the second something goes wrong the conspiracy theorists will be fighting over themselves to slate both the club and player. It’s a no win situation
So you are trying to make the people questioning this out as not giving a flying F about the player but you are absolving the club, entirely, of saying "2 weeks" since November. Why is it that anyone asking questions about how weird the club is regarding a players rehabilitation they are hit with absurdities?

"He's still injured." "Is he going to come back in 2 weeks?" "No, probably not, we've no real timeline".

How the hell is that difficult? They're putting themselves on this, not people questioning why they are being so evasive about a players return.
 

People get antsy whenever the Gbamin situation comes up, but it's been obvious for a while that something isn't right.

It's eerily reminiscent of how Hargreaves's career ended, although Rosicky is a somewhat recent example of a player coming back after a very long time out injured.

It is. But Ancelotti keeps his cards close to his chest, and right now ther3 is no need to rush him back at all.

Here you go, straight from Carlo today. They don't know when he will be back.

"Jean-Philippe Gbamin is progressing well,” Ancelotti said in a pre-match press conference at USM Finch Farm.

“We don’t know exactly when he can come back to train with the team – the same with Yerry Mina, also.”

And, yet, he said 2 weeks ago that he expects him to join the first team in 2 weeks. And said in November he expects him to join the first team in December. And said in December he expects him to join the first team in January.

You're being deliberately obtuse here.
 

But, he's not really. He's kind of perpetuating this by saying that he'll be back in first team training "in 2 weeks" for like 3 months solid now.
To be honest, ive mentally given up on him anyway. I guess I’ve lost interest because it’s been so long and players rarely get back to their original form with injuries like that.

And Cazorla. He was out for almost 2 years (and nearly lost his foot) but came back and played 86 games in 2 seasons for Villarreal, even getting back into the Spain squad. And he was 33 when he returned as opposed to 25.

Another great example.

What a player he was.

I'm not being obtuse. You asked how hard it is to say we don't know and Carlo literally said today that they don't know when he will be able to train with the first team. Situations change, maybe at the time they thought that was the case and now they have decided not to put a timeline on it.

I said about a month ago that there HAD to be a setback and was lambasted because "CaRlO would have said so" except that they keep on changing his timeline. Nobody questions it.

Carlo said 2 weeks ago he would be training with the first team in about 2 weeks and, here we are 2 weeks later, now they "don't know". Carlo said in November he'd be back in December. How is that not terrible communication from the club?
