DAM10 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 All the best. Another young player that wasn't given a fair opportunity by the clowns in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 All the best to him, but he was 4th in line at the moment and probably didn't take opportunities earlier this season as well as he should have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get this in the slightest. He started in 14 games last season plus 5 this season. I don't doubt there were other issues with our team and its results which everyone is affected by. But as an individual he's had plenty of opportunities to show his quality. Just regarding his quality I think he was more than adequate even as a bench player but anyway, that's the clubs decision for whatever reason they felt he didn't have a place there.

That's just nonsense. He was given a contract to 31/05/2019, a measure of the club's confidence in him to grow as a player. Not every player can start in every match. Hopefully we get a decent fee for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 It's been obvious it was going to happen for a while. To borrow a Belfast phrase, even the dogs on the streets knew. Important issue now is to use this an an opportunity to strengthen the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moops Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Good luck to him, he seems to have been on the outer lately, so a change could be good for him. I wish him the best and the K League isn't a bad place to go, neither is the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke definitely needs a change, ordinary last year and hasn't set the world on fire this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the club's alleged focus on youth, and JvS often being associated with youth development, I don't think we have a particularly impressive record with our young players, home-grown or brought in from other clubs. Chapman's one of those who hasn't really gone on with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been promoted as an altruistic thing for Australian football etc but in my book it was actually just so they could develop and sell players to make a quid. City don't need the money so aren't bothering to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City don't need the money so aren't bothering to do it. Exactly this. It was actually hearts business model to develop players and sell them- which is why it was openly celebrated in season 2 i think it was when we broke even after selling a number of younger players. It became pretty clear after a few seasons that it was far from sustainable so the owners changed tactics and went for the "dont spend any money to make money" model.

recyclosaurusrex Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Good luck to the kid. For some reason I was never as worried about our defense when he was playing. Hope it works out for him and we see him back in a city shirt some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
