    I can't go along with this 'greedy' line. To me greedy was like when McPhail left us for an extra grand a week at Cardiff, these lads are leaving for 3 or 4 times what they're earning at Barnsley. If rumours are to be believed, Hourihane's getting 6 times as much at Villa & Roberts & Bree around 10 times as much.

    That's not greed, that's just common sense in a short career. That one move makes them for life.

    I don't see anyone can criticise them for it unless the player leaves on bad terms & is disrespectful on the way out like Winnall.

    Bit daft to call him greedy for wanting a move to a Premier League club.

    Yes it might be about ambition (and a lack of ambition on our part as well), why so many players are leaving these days. But lets not kid ourselves here eh, money is also a massive reason and obviously thats why I use the word greed.

    If he'd been linked with a move to a team like Burton, for more money, then yes I'd agree, but he's stepping up a division. Inevitable he's going to get more money, and he'd be stupid if he didn't ask for it.

    Ohh well, he wants out and thats all that matters to me now. I hope we don't let this drag on for much longer and I reckon we will be tempted if anybody offers about £2.75 mill this week.

    I would imagine he could do as he is left footed, but he could look really outta his depth there as Nyatanga did when he played left back the odd times.

    Interestingly, I am on Twitter, haven't abused him to get banned, and also can't see his tweets.
