But yeah I can see why some words and phrases online might grate, but at the end of he day you can only say "he is a fucking cretin" so many times. Plus it's Bunter we're talking about FFS. Anything goes m80.
He made it clear to the club last season he wasn't going to be signing a new deal, Robbie came in and tried to get him signed up but he didn't look at the deal. Why would we play him regularly if he had no intention of staying?
By all accounts it's his agent that's the issue in fairness to him but the clubs been done out of a decent transfer fee.
You wonder why he had no intention of staying for at least another year to develop. He must have realised that it would result in reduced opportunities to play, but that said, I can understand it as he has been messed about something awful since he's been in the first team squad and consistently watched much weaker players start ahead of him. As I said earlier in the thread, I think he's a cracking player who has been affected by some bullshit managers stunting him.
It's a waste that we never got to see the best of him.
