    He's a very good player, make no mistake about it and we have under utilised him this season due to forcing Jobe into the lineup. He's one of a very small group of players who can find that key pass that carves defences open, the only other player we have that can do that is Dan Neil. He'll do good for Birmingham and we will certainly miss him.

    Hope he left us on the proviso that he doesn't play against us. Good player that will cause us problems

    I don't disagree, I believe in delaying gratification for long term gains but in football that can be a risky game.

    To be fair everything in football is risky.

    We've tried everything and got nowhere ...

    ... same can be said for Everton, Newcastle, etc.

    Football is now notoriously ran by a notion of short termism, think about a time not too long ago where managers stayed for years and every team had at least one player who stayed with the team for the bulk of their career. Football is worse off for it.

    Taken off at half time. Either he’s injured or Mowbray still doesn’t want to play him :D

    It would be good to think that would happen but is anyone expecting them to get hammered with penalties or even relegation with the amount of money and power they have in the prem?
