Probably and to be honest fair enough. We will find that very difficult too. How many years left on Lazaars contract?
There should be enough in the bank to buy him for £6million without having to sweat it. Must be a case of caution about inflated wage bills and the potential for relegation.
Lazaar - If there was ever a reason, not to buy players for the sake of it, and throw in stupidly long contracts. A financial drain on the club for years to come..
He'd made 59 Serie A appearances for Palermo over the previous two seasons to our signing him. Bizarre how he's so poor.
Appearances, don't always tell the whole story. Putting appearances into context, Jack Colback played 64 games for us in his first two seasons in the PL.
Of course. But with such a decent amount of appearances he shouldn't have been an unknown quantity - we would have had plenty of opportunity to scout him and get some idea of his strengths and weaknesses before making the signing. Usually a player - even a poor signing like Colback is given a fair few games to play themselves out of the team. Lazaar had what, half a dozen appearances? It's like we signed him without a clue to his quality or lack thereof.
Can we just hide this thread. He'll go to Bournemouth or Huddersfield. We aren't in their league financially
He might well have ability but the rumours were his attitude stinks. He's not going to get picked if that's the case.
