That's weird. Bob said we'd giving him a deadline and moved on ages ago because his wages were too big looool.
Absolutely mad , the club have worked on the deal for so long, permanent. Only for the player to drop his arse, due to some healthy competition and head to a club on his doorstep on loan instead. Weak as piss that.
I wonder if we hear Broadheads side of the story. I even wonder if he spoke to Alex Neil and said your two existing forwards look better than me and I want to start. I would doubt if very much, but we will probably never know. A world cup year often makes players make odd decisions on where they play. You can bet Rob Page has set some expectations on him before he can be picked, and Wigan have made some promises. Interesting that he was ok to come to us on a perm, but gone to Wigan on a loan. Probably quite ruthless on his part and he gets his free agent signing on bonus somewhere next year, maybe even here. Some may say he has bottled it, or not up for the fight, others may think this is a sign of an ambitious player in a world cup year who is selfish and backs himself to make the grade over his career. At least we know the club were keen to get him, and they know a quality player when they see one, I was worried they were walking away for some soft reason or another. Good luck to him, he can come here on a free next season for me, no problem.
Totally agree. Can't understand footballers at times and just shows the mentality some have these days - taking the ready option rather than backing yourself and working at least as hard as the players who you are in competition for a place with.
Spot on. I now he had some confidence issues in the past and that is usually the case with players who are in and out of rehab due to injury. But I have to say, this has surprised me, especially as he wanted to come from the offset. Shame, we move on with a team who are ready to fight and meet AN expectations. Anyone else is fodder.
No idea if it's him or not. Personally would hope it's not. We need someone who can move. Not another older, slow and poor mobility CM.
