Ismael subbed Simoes after 40 minutes of the Cardiff away game. At the time he questioned his intensity and seriousness. When he was loaned out to Doncaster, Ismael criticised his mentality and professionalism. He said fairly similar things about Thomas if I recall. I'd say it was a dig back at Ismael. Not sure it's the wisest thing and may show his mentality and professionalism perhaps haven't quite reached the levels to earn a move to West Brom!
I think it’s obviously a dig at Val. Who cares? Val publicly criticised him, he’s just having a bit of a dig back in his own way. No harm done. I don’t see how wearing another teams kit matters anyway. James Maddison was having a kick about with his dad the other day in his old Norwich gear. I can also remember Stones, Rose, Clark & a couple of their old BFC academy teammates meeting up for a kick about & posting it online in all different kits. Rose had a Liverpool one on & some of the others had Barnsley tops on.
