Not a fan of RD but this has to be laid at the door of Slater & Jimenez, should have been tied down before being put in the shop window.
Where's the evidence for that? Makes no sense logically, or commercially.
Slater knew his way around a pound note. Slats and Jim invested in the youth set up and knew his value, it hardly is the actions of a millionaire business investor and contracts lawyer to let your major asset run his contract down. I'm sure they must have said to themselves that Poyet kid, how long has he got on his contract? 6 months.oh that alright then.
Poyet is looking out for himself, pissing down the neck of those that helped him. It's what foreigners do. At least Shelvey, jenkinson and parky had the good grace to sign a contract and then leave.
Gifted - possibly, grounded- not at all, greedy most definitely. Pursuing a career? He was hardly, sweeping the bogs at cafc was here?

Straight off Into the Valley.
