Good player but he has an attitude problem. I'm not sure why Bournemouth want to re-sign him as I can't see him scoring goals in the Premier League.

It's one thing to be frustrated at not being selected, but if it's correct that he walked out then hardly the actions of a model pro. IMO certainly far worse than asking not to play.....

Grabban seems to like regularly agitating for a transfer and/or better deal. Maybe his Agent likes to stir things up too.

OK we could have done with his goals but given his attitude it seems we dodged a bullet. I recall feeling that he just played us to get a better deal at Bournemouth.

Which strangely is what some Fulham fans are saying about Dunk.

Can a footballer be sacked?

Of course, its about supply and demand, who wouldn't!!

But I don't think LD was touting for a move. It was other people who were after him. He and his agent might have used the existing situation, but I don't think he instigated it.

Yes, but why would you when you've got Bournemouth offering millions of pounds for his transfer? This just ensures that they accept the next offer. Player power at his worst, he's not even a good player!

That's true. Silly question

Can't see why Bournemouth would want him now , Wilson is TONS better

This is the one time I wish FFP didn't exist.. I'd love to see Norwich send him to the DS squad and let his contract run out..

 

[glasfryn]

Hopefully Norwich will hit him with a hefty fine

Everything counts in large amounts

The thing which puzzles me is that we were willing to pay £1.1 million (or whatever it was - January 2014 seems quite a time ago now), and our failure to sign him was apparently one of the things that made Garcia want to leave, yet I don't think he is that good a player. I know he scored an absolute sitter of a header in Norwich's away game at Ipswich, but I don't remember him scoring regularly for Norwich. He was presumably going to be Barnes' replacement, yet if we had offered Barnes a decent new contract from the moment we knew Burnley were interested in him, we might have kept him without having to pay a fee. Perhaps it was a good thing that we wouldn't meet his agent's valuation, or TB fell asleep, whichever version was correct.
