I do agree with you there Someone. However, it is a good move for the player and if the club stood in his way on this one (after telling him no way for Yeovil) then what is to say the player wouldn't sulk and become a shadow of himself.
Coley obviously told him in August that he could play his way out of the club and secure himself a top move. At 22 this guy has his whole career in front of him and will do will if he applies himself now.
The club would prefer not to sell but it is a business as well and has to be self-sufficient. The crowds are not sustaining the level of football we are now at so transfers have to.
And while you are watching Stanley rather than Gary would you prefer to do it under a roof? with lights that actually shine? a car park that is not a quagmire in winter? a bar on the Clayton End?
The club cant aford to do the things that we desire but maybe with a bit of gazza cash they can. I await the statement.
