It's finishing in an incredibly sour way considering he can still be considered a club legend - in a pound for pound, time spent here kind of way, at least. In better times, he spoke extensively on a couple of podcasts about how his wife had basically helped rescue his career in his 20s, supporting him with the move to London, keeping him away from bad influences and habits etc. So assuming it is what it is, there's honestly reason to be concerned about him.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Been probably our best ever RB. Kicked off the whole thing with being our first post-takeover signing. He's still good offensively but he's been declining defensively and that's only going one way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 For whatever reason, I don't feel the attachment that other fans do. I understand his significance in our recent history but for me it all turned a bit sour somewhere along the line. I've got massive respect for him as a player but I dunno, something ain't right.

Keegans Export Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 A loan just seems like such a nothing move for us. Yes, it'd save £4.5m or so in wages but are we then just going to be happy with Tino and Krafth as backup? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 He has been tremendous for us. I mean, absolutely immense at times. If he really wants to go, however, I think he's earnt the right to. This might not be the right answer for club finances but I'm sick of thinking about those. I'd be inclined to let him go with a nominal fee and with best wishes. Which is also why I should never run a football club, you may correctly argue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point keeping someone around who's deperately unhappy no matter how professional they may try to be, their performances will suffer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 He's got 12 months left. If he's going, it's a permanent. Give us 8m and we can move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Truly cannot be overstated how important his signing was at the time. Absolutely critical. That alone makes him a legend and unforgettable. BUT. His head does appear to be gone. His performances have waned. He's got obvious off the field issues that are deeply problematic for him and I wish him well in handling them. It is very much time to separate. A sale would be ideal but a loan to get wages off the books wouldn't hurt. It's best for both partie that it happens now. It is a shame how it has ended but that should not change the incredible 18 months or so that transformed our club, and he was vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Whatever's gone on between him and his wife that caused his return from the England camp last year has definitely been leading up to this. I don't suspect he's happy to be leaving, but perhaps he feels he needs to for his mental health. If he's going though, as it stands, we've weakened in this window without significant reinforcements.

janpawel Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Did I read he wanted a Saudi move but it broke down? Surely of all teams, we are the team a move shouldn't breakdown with? 😂 Really hope we can get a fee for him, does us no well losing one of our better players on free /loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Worth remembering that is legacy will only get more soured if he stays. I can absolutely see him at Everton. He will get protection from Dyche (he knows Dyche well) and they absolutely love a set piece. He's also, presumably, closer to "home".
