I kinda always thought he'd leave Mansfield ether for us or elsewhere because he would have signed another deal there otherwise.. Only 1 year left so the time was now.. ether sign him longer or move him on. Crimbo he goes for next to nowt.. next year he walks, Had to move really, the only question was where..
I thought the same but he was in a difficult position given that he was up against a team who'd expressed an interest in acquiring him. We can only go on his stats and hope that he can readily adapt to Clarke's philosophy.
Good news. I'd like to see the faces of the Mansfield fans who I was talking to before the first match of the season who said "he's too good for Barnsley"
