Its been mentioned a few times (and I am trying to find you some Heinz Black Pepper sauce to salivate you all) but it was always a 1 + 1 with the 2nd year being a player option. I have bemoaned it a couple of times because that 2nd year should have been a club option cause then the club could say 'thanks but no thanks'
Either way, I would rather they find the cash to pay him to stay away. A serious waste of a squad and import slot. Its not too far a reach to suggest a couple of the youth kids could do better than this guy.
Edit: Still working on it.
