I think we can all relate to that but there's no room for sentiment in this business. Top fella but his injury fragility is a big risk

Your username is extremely apt!
But yes, I hope so too. We may be doomed to disappointment though

I think he was overplayed quite heavily too. Was often thrown in when he wasn't fully fit which didn't help and in some games the plan seemed to be give the ball to Lamptey and see what he can do (Villa 3-0 away anyone?).

Seems a wonderful human being and was amazing to watch in those early games. However there were a couple of games towards the end of last season where he played and it was almost felt we only had 10 men on the pitch.
He simply doesn’t trust his body anymore, which is an awful shame but you can’t get away with that at the top level.

if brighton could somehow keep him fit and get Estupinan fit too, with them and Mitoma and now Minteh, they would be one speedy set of wing players.!

Lovely lad and he's had some real highlights with us but best for us and him for him to move on.
Can't see us getting much money at all though with his injury record as it is. Do well to get back what we paid.

It's looking like he's probably off then. Makes sense for the club to cash in.
Was probably our most exciting player at the time he signed for us - the explosive pace he had making him the fastest player in the league. Shame about the injury.
Likeable player that will always deserve a clap if he plays against us in the future, but I would say that he's one of the players in the current squad that we've outgrown now.

Unfortunately for the lad his body is not up to Prem level of fitness and strength, Bloody good player though and I hope he goes on to have a good career.
He had the same problem as Pervis last season = tactically, his life was impossible. Any mistake looked 10x worse than it was because he had no one covering spaces behind him. He looked a lot more shit than he was; again, same as Pervis.
Other than that I think the spring was his best spell since returning from that career-changing injury. He's VERY good at crossing, and has learned when to cross, when to pass and when to run.
I'd like to give the new doc a chance to fix Tariq, because if that happens he's a real asset to the team imho, every bit as good as what we could find on the market.
Lets hope the new German is some sort of black magic Illuminati-magician with the email adress to God, and even better the fastcall button to Satan, and that he'll sacrifice a goat or two to make Tariq the batshit good RWB most of us know he could be.

I love your optimism, perhaps we will get a chance to see what he can do under new management against Crawley
Absolutely agree with this.
In his first games back after the injury, it was as though he'd lost his super-power and didn't really know how to play without it.
He has now learned to play football much better, and can contribute a lot, even without the extreme pace. Though the 'loss of pace thing' is rather overstated by our fans - he's still pretty rapid.
