Well i hope we dont get Sorensen because he didnt want to come to Barnsley last time so he can sod off if he thinks he can walk in just to go to Wembley. I really wish they could sort the Steele deal out because i feel really sorry for the lad and i think hes caught up in the middle of it all between club and agents. You only have to look what happened to Nardiello !
I feel bad for him too, he's put 100% into performances for us. But if agents are part of the problem then some of that sympathy will evaportate... I've no time for players who are totally led by their agents and hide behind them like they're powerless.
