I think you have to try fairly hard to not see that as a dig, it's a very odd thing to say if it's not one.

If he thought that he should have ****ed off earlier then.
I certainly feel it's a dig, if not, then it is a poorly worded statement to make.
No your right, it's not hide to find it a dig if your mind automatically jumps to any comment someone makes about our club being negative.
He was hardly going to say "yer my previous club won promotion in a fantastic year, I got injured and then the players that came in for me did really well and I was no longer a guaranteed starter, so they didn't take up their option on an extra year on wages that where agreed back when we had prem money coming in, but when they offered me wages more inline with my status in the squad now I wasn't a automatic first choice, I didn't even look at it, so I've come here as I'll be first choice" etc etc... If we had players who didn't work hard last season, would we really have had the season we had?...
It's a typical new signing comment, the kind players are advised to say in media interviews for new clubs etc when they go through media / interview advice&training. I wouldn't even put it past the media to be using snippits of a full interview to try and drum up a story
All I would say is if that is how he was advised to word such a comment during media training, then they need to dispense with whoever told him that this was the right thing to say. Either is it a deliberate dig or a poorly worded response. IMO, you should never burn your bridges when leaving, as you never know what the future brings.
As I say, it may just be a snippet used by the media to create this kind of response.. would be interesting the see the full interview if OLM has a link to it?
Have you seen/heard the full interview? Be interesting to see if it's not just the delightful media taking a stand alone line to create a story. It may makes a hell of a lot more sense in full context
Indeed, the HDM since Phil Buckingham left are in the habit of making headlines sensationalized when you read the article generally has very little bearing on what the headline says.
It's definitely a dig. It's the 2nd time and once again it's completely unnecessary. He certainly doesn't come across as a fella with a good character and he seems to have a high opinion of himself. Whether he likes it or not, we have 2 better CBs at the club, both of whom are younger too.
I hope he plays regularly for Luton because if he does they'll leak goals. Every championship defence he's been in has leaked goals. Us, Bolton & Wigan. There's a common denominator there

It's about getting views and ad revenue though sadly. I think Baz has been a breath of fresh air, PB was great but it's nice to freshen it up. Think the same applies to James Fletcher & Bryan Hughes on the iFollow commentary. It's nice to hear a different voice from Burnsey & Swanny talking about nights out/food exactly the same as they have done for the last 10+ years.
No dig for me
But even if it is,I couldn't give a frog's fat ass(or a Krauts for that matter).

Written as is in the HDM online, with the ‘dig’ headline, but nothing in the written report highlighting what is supposed to be a ‘dig’, I was left confused. Then I found this thread. I think the statement is bland and in no way justifies the headline. It needs the reporter to state what he/she feels is the dig in the actual piece. The headline is written as clickbait and it’s a waste of time clicking on it.
This is going to the wire,might need a recount,where's Chazz when his vote is required? Diving no doubt?
