That's an interesting development. He had said he would not go because he wanted to stay and help us out of this mess. Either he has changed his mind or Harry has changed it for him. Another one with loads of talent who needs to sort himself out. As he is at the moment he will not be missed. But I do hope he is given another chance.
I actually think this might be a good move for him and us. He is in danger of being dropped and I think that might just finish his confidence. Here he can go off, play well (I hope) for Mali and come back refreshed... We may even get a much more confident player back, just when we could need him
Yep, he's lost his way and the change if scene may do him good. He was truly awful on Sunday and, when he's down at that level, we won't miss him. Nevertheless, we all saw his potential a while back and I hope he comes back hungry and ready to move onwards and upwards.
