I refuse to believe he’s a worse LB than Lamptey.

Nice little test for Liam’s managerial skills.

Bloody shame, I loved the look of him, technically and character.

Well, you know what?
Footballers are spoiled shits. Managers are paid very well to manage them.
Woudl love to know whats really gone on here. Pursued him for a long time. When he played last season had more than glimpses that there was somenthing sepcial there, particuarly in terms of delivery into the box. Plenty of time to develop. And then bang he's out the door and never wanted again.
Perhaps two strops.
The one in our stripes that saw him loaned out and the Spanish one on loan where we finally lost patience?
I have no idea but I can’t see any justification for selling him based on what I’ve seen on the pitch.

I’m hoping some thought goes into the next fan forum question bank that helps us understand some of these outgoing decisions and strategy rather than the lack of milk sachets in the east upper

I’ve been fairly critical of the club of late, not just the manager. But, I’m putting this one down to a breach of the fabled no dickhead policy.
I simply don’t think both us and Sevilla wanted him gone purely for football reasons. Some kids are just dicks.

I'm slightly concerned since there seems to be a rise of issues happening off the pitch at the club. Admittedly, most of it are simply rumours but I do worry if there has been a fall out amongst the players/coaches. I remember these issues happening under RDZ and now it seems to have repeated under FH.

Exactly. I was quite excited by what I saw on the pitch, but given that after a few weeks we didn't want him, and a few weeks into his loan they didn't want him, and a further loan with the buy commitment.
When things go wrong, getting a bit of profit and a reasonable sell on isn't a bad result

Yes, it’s cutting your losses ( or if we are being precise, making a small profit) on a player where we don’t think they’ll make our first team on a regular basis.Exactly.

No harm in that. All these small profit scenarios add up. If we’ve made a million pounds on Barco that’s not to be sniffed at. Same sort of figures to McConville and BBB. All outright profit. You don’t make £100m on a Caicedo scenario every window.

We don't want any of that sort of talk on NSC. They are worth somewhere north of £100M and will win the ballon d'or or will struggle to score in League 2 and should be playing for Hassocks. You know the rules
I now feel guilty as one of my mates has been involved with Hassocks for years, so that's all your fault.

Lamptey who was arguably our best player in our loss against Everton when playing at LB?

If we’re a club that builds its reputation on developing young players and we can’t cope with one of them having a strop once in a while, then we’re really in the wrong game, no?
