Hecky: "There are probably dozens of club's interested in Conor Hourihane. And that's the way it will continue given the way he's playing" That's better.
No but I fully expect him to be somewhere else by the end of the month. Also wonder if this perceived lack of ambition is putting potential targets off joining.
Hecky: "It's horrible losing a player to that club. I've been inundated with messages etc. But he wanted to go. We were happy with the deal"
That's what I was thinking. If I was Morsy I'd now be thinking twice about taking a pay cut to join us.
I agree he will probably leave. To put a different spin on your second comment. Players with ambition know we'll allow them to leave if they perform well for us. I liked Winnall as a Barnsley player but I think we've others who can step up, pretty sure Bradshaw was bought with this in mind. Hourihane however is a different kettle of fish. I don't think we can find a replacement with the money we are likely to get for the sale. I think Moncur was bought with a view to replace Hourihane, let's see how he develops.
