He's surely gone.
4 squad strikers :
Hemed
Baldock
Colunga replacement / Zamora
O'Grady / O'Grady replacement
Hopefully we must be close to/confident of singing a replacement.

He led assists last season and looked like he can put the ball away given the chances. Not sure why we are so keen to get rid really considering our current lack of a replacement.

I personally wouldn't get rid of him, but it seems for whatever reason he isn't in the club's plans, so let's get him a move sooner rather than later.

But they're not interested in paying a fee for him. He wants to stay so we'd be stupid to release him for nothing.

I would love to see him stay and get a decent run out, he could become a decent useful for us.
I agree - on the 2 or 3 times I saw him last season I thought he did ok.
Return to Las Palmas for 7? Sounds like Madness...

It's bad news they don't want to pay a fee, but we would not be stupid to release him for nothing as we would at least save his wages, and so be able to pay at least part of the wages of a better striker.
He walks away for free anyway next summer, so maybe we can write off getting anything for him if it helps sign someone else who will improve the squad
Agreed. Play him in a front two behind Hemed or Baldock rather than on his own. I'm thinking the Beardsley role here. He'll struggle to get into double figures for goals but he hopefully could contribute a huge number of assists. It wouldn't make sense to cancel his contract and let him go on a free.
I hope he stays.

I'm with you here. During Hyypia's time he was about the one player who posed any threat, and in the Fulham game their defence seemed shell shocked by him. Nathan Jones was fulsome in his praise. I admit myself that I was nervous about giving Jones the job, and we know the Hughton deal was done before the Fulham game, but I wonder if he might have got more out of some players.

Scored more than any other striker and that was under Hyppia in well under half a season

Remind me how many games he played and how often he was paired with a totally useless strike partner. I Imagine you are baffled because you can't see his qualities.
Remind me of how many goals/assists he had last season
4 goals and 6 assists which isn't that bad in half a season in a struggling side.

Or! 4 goals and six assists in half a season under a manager who had as much managerial and/or tactical nous as a half blind badger. Probably.
