signed him to another year deal so he had the time and space to deal with what was still a significant health issue.
The problem is that if he was a BIG talent the club would have done so
Again - there is a right and wrong way of doing things. Values matter. You either prioritize them or you don't
The thing is it seems to have given him the fire to prove us wrong. That's probably a good thing for his development. Maybe it would have been nice to keep him on a little longer, but that’s being kind for the sake of it. It sounds like he backs his ability, which is great and all, but he was likely to be released at more or less that age injury or not.
Personally, in those circumstances I’m not against helping them through it, we probably should have given him a few more months with his rehab until he found a new club, but in the end, I think a bit of fire in his belly is good for him.
