Si Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Was glorious when he turned up in a tux. Gutted it's not worked out for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Good move for him. Good player but not surprised we got fuck all for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Good move for him. Good player but not surprised we got fuck all for him Salary off the accounts though, means we can loan a cheaper player in as cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just wanted him to get one game in midfield. Loved a run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Disappointed with this I have to be honest. But then I didn't see him play every day, so... I haven't seen him pay for fucking ages in fact. Always thought there was something there from his early days. Good luck to the lad. He's at a bigger club now anyway.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Still think he’s very good but he was obviously never going to work out here. Hope we spend the unknown number of pounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hopefully he won’t be the last big money sale, we have to get that net spend down even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What never gets taken into account when 'budgeting' player sales for re-investment () are not only the undisclosed fees received, but the years of the contract wages we had 'budgeted' for when purchasing him initially should now be back in the hopper. Amazes me how much Ashley gets away with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Was it West Ham home last season when he had that absolute blinder of a performance at left back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Will score against us in pre season We probably only sold him there to save money on flights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 can’t believe Rafa can’t manage him or mitrovic in to useful squad players. Even mbabu. Clear as day he was a talent and we practically gave him away. Shocking stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Odd he never really got a chance, but if Rafa didnt fancy him and it frees up wages then so be it. its not like he's really had too much of an impact, so we shouldnt miss him. Can see him going on to play for decent champions league clubs for the majority of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 can’t believe Rafa can’t manage him or mitrovic in to useful squad players. Even mbabu. Clear as day he was a talent and we practically gave him away. Shocking stuff. Apparently he failed to learn English since he's been here. Can't really expect Rafa to coach a player he can't communicate his specific tactical instructions to - if it's true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really expect Rafa to coach a player he can't communicate his specific tactical instructions to - if it's true. I'd heard that too, communication was the issue and it makes a lot of sense why he was never trusted with a regular starting berth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 As a player he is composed on the ball, can read the game and plays it from the back. Only negative I can think of is that his height, he’s about 3” off being ideal for the PL. Maybe some concentration issues, and it’s been well documented that he never picked up the language so it’s probably harder for Lascelles to bark orders at him.. Honestly don’t think any other player will stop our captain and Lejeune starting every game if available. Clark will get a run out in cups. And Yarney looks like a real prospect. Needs time to adjust but looked the part last week in Dublin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alijmitchell Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Never thought he was really that bad, but also wasn't confident with him at CB. Would only have peddled him if there was someone better coming in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
