What confuses me is that..... on 20:04 - Apr 6 with 8325 views | Bloots | ...nobody has asked. You'd think one of the press pack would have noticed that a high profile January loanee has apparently disappeared of the face of the earth, and asked why. Makes you think. |  |

Maybe he got BW old locker at Playford Road and been hitting the NO2 stash. |  | |  |

It's because he's got quite a serious off-field problem. |  | |  |
Ben Godfrey on 20:37 - Apr 6 with 7841 views | Swansea_Blue | It seems we mistakenly recruited Private Godfrey, but he’s now gone back to the Home Guard patrolling a large village green in deepest darkest East Anglia. |  |

Doesn't get asked, or even mentioned by any of the usual media outlets. You can't blame Phil and the EADT etc., for knowing who butters their bread, but I wish (as I think is reasonable to assume) the club didn't effectively issue D-notices on anything that might not be 100% positive, or cause questions (on, say, recruitment) to be asked.

That's a loan signing that certainly hasn't worked out Who was that Blue Ribbon signing we made one year and he barely ever played again, some winger from Hull mid-Evans reign of terror? |  |

Two loan RB signings in two seasons that have mysteriously disappeared, with the club banning any and all discussion. Wasn't there an Oscar Wilde quote about that sort of thing? |  |

Yeah, it’s not a particularly nice trait. I’d prefer a bit less of the cloak and daggers and a bit more transparency (unless absolutely necessary for legal reasons). |  |

He can be present at the match and still have the issue he's got. Unfortunately, it all transpired in the week after the Spurs game. Club will not want too much egg on face re. due diligence checks with Williams and now Godfrey. |  | |  |

Have the club banned it? Or is it just not appropriate? I think whatever the truth is, there is a duty of care to employees that goes beyond small town gossip. I think as fans it’s easy to forget we don’t deserve to infringe on the privacy and dignity of players no matter who they are. |  |

I agree that we don't have any right to know details, but it all seems a bit odd that the broad concept of Godfrey having all but disappeared can't even be mentioned. As others have pointed out, regardless of the precise reasons for Godfrey's non-involvement, it does call into question the club's due diligence and/or desperation to sign certain players. |  |

Does it? Unless we know the details and when and why he’s not playing you can’t say that fairly. If the club address it in the most neutral way possible it draws attention to it and fuels speculation. If we as fans need to know his current status etc. I’m sure they’ll make it public. We’ve got far bigger concerns as it is. |  |

Yes he was , took his seat with the subs behind the coaching staff . |  | |  |
Ben Godfrey on 00:10 - Apr 7 with 6169 views | The_Romford_Blue | I hate to be apart of the rumour mill but he certainly won’t be playing for us again. And it, like the brandon Williams situation being something known about, is not something needed to be spoken about. So I understand the club keeping quiet. Just rest assured he won’t be playing for us again. |  |
