Appears they can't afford the fee we are asking for

Moved his family there. Must be really disruptive for his kids, especially if it results in him coming back here.

For all intents and purposes looked a SD type player to me. Not sure what went wrong.....difficult to tell on the back of cameo substitute appearances

I'd let him go - we're not going to need him, let him and his family thrive in Germany. A shame, he didn't really get chance to show what he could do.

How is he doing over there?

Wikipedia says 8 goals in 23 appearances. 1 in 3, reasonable return. Other than these facts though, I haven't been keeping tabs on him.

I thought he looked like a decent player in his cameos

Drop the price and send him on his way.

We don't need him and we don't need the money.
He isn't going to suddenly break into the first team, nor is he going to sign a new deal.

Had a lean spell without a goal recently but, as article linked at top reports - 8 in 23 in total and he's a player they want to keep.


Whatever we think about him, he wasn't considered a starter for the team in the Championship and for a player who will be 30 just after the start of next season I can't imagine he would get close to our side now.

They hold the aces really.

Not much point holding out for a higher fee and risk having to pay paying his wages for a year (assuming no one else comes in for him) when it's a player that clearly isn't in our plans.

Fair play to him for his honourable quotes in the interview

Decent record at that level. I'm sure they won't be the only team who want him.
Just because we've been doing well financially doesn't mean we should do a deal on the cheap.
