Interesting opinions from the Forest fans on JA606 - seems he thought of himself as a 'Billy Big Bollocks'. Not aware of any attitude at AG so far though.... https://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewArticle/377521
There's none so blind as those that don't want to see eh banksy eh! As I said I enjoyed the debate/ discussion , we both have different oponions , both are equally valid. Best we leave it there.
Do you mean that you can see the pitch now because he isn't obscuring it? Or that there now seems to be 11 people on the pitch working as a team without anyone throwing toys?
Some players are better at other clubs than the one they left and perhaps this is the case with Ayling, doesn't make selling him the wrong decision. Look at Bailey Wright and Josh Brownhill, let go by Preston as not deemed good enough and they have both been a revelation for us!
At the time we sold him we had Mathews , who'd been a revelation previously and little as a decent backup, seemed like the right thing to do , add to that I thought at the time £750k seemed a good price , seemed like a no brainier, also the Cheltenham races incident and reportedly Ayling himself wanting reassurances about playing regularly. I know things went a bit pear shaped with Mathews in particular, always thought little gave everything, despite certain sections of our crowd giving him a bad time. All in all probably best for all concerned he left & I have to say I do like Pisano .
Neither of them were let go by Preston I do believe Preston wanted to keep both of them but we made better offers
Brownhill was a bit different. He was wanted by Preston but they were loaning him out at the time so that’s why he choose to leave. Wright they really wanted to keep but he choose to leave.
