Jimburst Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It was fairly well publicised that his young daughter was ill, like. Just idiots with no empathy complaining... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Full respect for his situation and professionalism handling it. The fuller extent of the details shows how challenging a time its been for him and his family. With the right move and getting settled with his family he can still keep improving as a player and have a bright future. A real shame we can't keep him but moving for the right reasons and should get due respect when he returns next year with another club. Hope he continues to finish his career here on a high like he has the past month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 that was an interesting read, i didn't know the details of why he wanted back down south...feel for the lad tbh might have fucked himself performing well cause ashley will probably ramp the price now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told by someone within the club that Brighton's offer in the summer, with add-ons based on appearances etc, was worth up to £12m, so Christ knows what Ashley would ask for now.

Mattoon Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I remember when my daughter was born, no health issues thankfully, but I was on shift work and barely got to see her, I gave that up quick smart so I cannot imagine where his head has been at with all the health issues and being so far away from them both. Don't blame the lad and he's been a model professional in how he's handled it, that alone should give him the move he wants. Plenty of others would have gone on strike, done a runner or feigned an injury but he's kept his head high a got stuck in. In current form I hope he's attracted a bit of attention to himself and gets the move that he deserves and that benefits us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Well now many know the full details, nice lad and deserves his move with everyone’s best wishes. Wonder what happens if no one takes him.Whats his value right now? £15m ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think the situation will make clubs try to lowball us if they actually want him. Rock and hard place now. Holding out for his actual value will be seen as scummy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If we rejected £12m before his huge upturn in form then we should be looking at £20m now. Sell him and Shelvey for around £30m and spend it on one player to partner Longstaff. Ki & Diame as backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 That along with new 1st choice rwb and perhaps using the loan system to gain a better option rwb would create a 1st team capable of playing entertaining football without any real fear of relegation. Obviously with Rafa at the helm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Surprised at the lack of bump. Thought he was absolutely tremendous in the second half. Won so much and got us going so many times. Really felt like he dragged us up by our collars a couple of times where it felt it was getting away from us. What an improvement this lad has gone through. This season's Diame.

Newcastle Fan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 He's really been putting in some really good performances of late, he missed Longstaff today but fought till the very end and helped us get a very important win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Did anyone else notice him during the celebrations for our second? Was pushing a few people towards the centre as if to say "lets go and win this". He had (another) great game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Wonder if there’s any chance he’ll stay if Rafa signs on? Moot point I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I can't help but feel that if he really nailed down a starting spot every week and was excelling that his family would feel more inclined to join him. When he wasn't playing and perhaps felt that he didn't seem to have a future here it must have been tough to really ask that of them. Still such a young man ... 23 years old for goodness sake! Would be great if he ended up continuing in this vein and developing into a first team fixture for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 He's basically done a Diame from last season. Whoever signs him has a decent player. Lots of respect for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 He wants to move as he has a daughter down south right? Surely given his improved form (really impressed how attacking he can be) and maturity deserves a new better contract offer? I take it he has split from the mother otherwise why would she not move to him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Think he had a hand in all three. Hope he stays. I noticed on MOTD after the equaliser he stopped the others from over celebrating to try and go on and get the winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
