Interesting that there’s no mention of it being a loan

Irrespective of who we bring in I’m sad this has happened. He always did the business on the pitch in my view.

Baffling imo, I know people say ‘not good enough to start’ and ‘doesn’t fit the system’ but he has the same amount of goals as Ollie in less minutes and was an amazing option off the bench, if Ollie is injured what do we do now? Something should of been sorted before he went, right on the cusp of a busy period makes no sense.

At least it’s a permanent transfer (from the wording) which frees up funds to go elsewhere. A loan with option didn’t really do anything for us.

Weirdly Roma website says loan with option to buy.
Semantics? Or two separate statements?

Sad to see him go but I think it’s the right call.
I’m convinced he was brought in to do the Diaby role, coming in off the right as a 2nd striker. He proved quickly that he couldn’t really play that role and lacked the movement and hold up play to be an Ollie replacement.
A genuinely top quality impact sub, but we can’t justify £140k a week on a player who isn’t a starter.
Weirdly sad about this. Thought he was fantastic as a super-sub, his energy and forward drives were really good, and he made really valuable contributions to our season so far.
Always a consummate professional and can only wish him all the very best. Cheers Donyell!

I get the reasoning doesn’t mean I like it
