Can't believe he's gone. Well, I can completely believe it actually. I leave the postcode area for a few days and the club goes mad(er).
I got the news through via text and was godsmacked - I really foolishly did hope we would, as the club had said (I'm sure they did somewhere!) that we're going to hold on to our best players. But I could see it coming to be honest, the second we sold Dann I knew that the flood gates must have opened for enquiries for our other "star" players. And for £1.5 million I heard which is the most scandalous thing - surely he's worth more than that? Do Warsaw get any money from us for a sell on as well? Or is Slim right, and its one of those stupid "£1.5mill now, the rest when he climbs mount Snowdon in only a thong" kind of deals? That's the problem with football clubs being run as businesses rather than football clubs, the stupid little deals like that never work out but they get pushed through to please the bank manager in the short term.
I just dread to think who's next - will we still "hold on" to Westwood and Gunner? Who knows. And I have no idea who Sammy Clingon is either but I can bet I shall be able to find a fair few puns about the name lol.
And Slim's right, so close to the start of the season, when the team are supposed to be building up pre-season fitness and "gelling" together and working as a team - and one of the best team players get shifted - surely it will unsettle a few?
I always viewed Dann and Fox as 2 really good, wise and promising signings for the club (just as they were hailed when they arrived) but it seems they'll have to be wise purchases and promising talents for someone else.
