    He made appearances due to injuries and it been eos and nothing to play for. If he had broken into the 1st team he wouldn't have signed for us. I agree he has some talent and been unlucky with injuries but was never ready for championship football.

    That's exactly it. We can’t be investing the best part of a million on a transfer fee & the wages that come with it on a player who’s never proven his fitness.

    Hang on mate, a minute ago you said he’d only played 21s football. Now you are trying to tell me more than I already know.

    Easy to judge a player in hindsight.

    He was a highly rated young lad who a number of Champ clubs fancied on loan at the time. Would maybe have made more sense to have done that. Loaned him. But Paul was at the helm that infamous summer so it is what it is.

    Again, good luck to the kid.
