Have we got a sell on clause? He’ll go for big money at some point.

 

At least we’ll get £5m we won’t be allowed to spend.

We sold him to Peterborough, not Brentford, so unless it's one of those that carries on down the chain (is that a thing or have I made that up?) then it seems unlikely.

I think we got that when we moved to Brentford from Peterborough. Probably already been spent!

From a coach I know at NUFC he was highly rated, but had attitude problems, seemed to have turned his career right around and good on him. Rooting for him!

I'm under the impression he got a bit sick of the constant loans and felt ready for first team place, but it never arrived and club didn't have much of a plan for his development. Fair play - he has done well since leaving.

I’ve heard he had problems with some of the coaches (not surprised as most are rubbish) and other players and relished going out on loan and wanted away as soon as he found his feet when out on loan, got the impression his coaches rated him even ones he fell out with one who o know personally, but not the manager/s who were in charge at the time. He will do very well and we will regret letting him go, but with any player here, you’re better off away from NUFC.

Makes me even rate him more. He could clearly see the club was a complete shambles and didn't want them to ruin his career.

Sad thing is the coach he had problems with is a brilliant young coach and wanted nothing but the best for him, from my understanding he wanted in the first team quicker than he was probably ready and took offence when that didn’t happen and then sought a move away so the club sent him on loan, now by all accounts his attitude is fantastic, I think he felt even at an early age he could do a job for NUFC, that confidence is something I love and don’t regard it as arrogance or anything wrong and I’m delighted he’s doing well and his former coach, which says a lot about him, has given him nothing but praise and they are good pals thankfully now.

That's really interesting. It would be even more interesting to know which knacker we were playing up front at the time. He was probably looking on knowing that he could do a better job. Would that have been around the time when we were playing Riviere upfront perhaps?

 

Ultimately his judgement has proved to be right. He backed himself and went down the leagues and has made his way back to the top and has looked great. I have massive respect for that. Guy actually wants to play football and not just sit on the bench and pick up a pay check every week.

I’m not sure, I’ve heard rumours it was Gayle… [emoji38]
