If it's true that he picked the side of Kaboul, Add and Lennon and didn't want to train Poch's way then he had to go. I always liked what he brought to the pitch but he would have brought more if his attitude was to work harder in training.
Like Siggy, I had doubts about them selling him but it's worked out for both parties so far.
Glad he's getting a chance. Was frozen out by Sherwood first when our centre mids were woeful defensively and we could have used him. Laid back player who never suited the 100mph Poch style but could easily have been Carrick Mk11 for us IMO.
