It's a bummer he hasn't worked out, but I wouldn't slate him. The move to us might have come too early for him. I never really saw the talent -- he seems tidy at times but also has a lot of difficulty with positioning and plays timidly -- but it was a low-risk gamble and he's been professional to my knowledge. Things can of course change, but I would be fine with him seeking opportunities elsewhere. Hopefully we can get a fee that's not too much lower than what we paid!

I think it's worth it for us to take the odd chance on younger + cheaper players, and this is one of those cases of too big, too soon. I can't blame him for that and hopefully he can find somewhere to continue growing.

Agreed on all counts!
