Moaned a lot about lack of ambition etc.. then goes to join a Championship club because they are offering him a ludicrous contract (which we would have all cried about if it was offered here).
Said club somehow managed to have bigger tossers running them than we do, signing Ba for £7m when you are struggling whilst giving him a mental release clause that there was a very good chance of being activated in 6 months. That's not ambition for me, just incompetence.
Don't really remember him saying this tbh. Tbf to Nolan, he was looking out for his future. There was no way we would offer him the kind of contract he's on now (like you've said). In the end, both parties (Nolan and ourselves) benefited really.
(Mind you, I do remember him coming out with some shite in the summer - probably what you've mentioned above actually).
In any case, I prefer to remember Nolan for the right reasons (helping us get promoted; his goals last season which in a way helped us to stay up; his hat trick against the mackems).
