1.5mil Euro is fee I have seen quoted

Good news. I feared the worst not seeing a fee mentioned yesterday (at least we've got something back).

I wonder did Tim Sherwood check him out before decide to cut him or whatever. I wonder who told him he is poor or whatever.

I'd hazard a guess that would be the thirty-odd thousand regular attendees.

At first he looked like just what we might need but just didn't have the bottle for the fight and has looked mostly out place ever since.  This one makes complete sense.

That is good. I'd have taken a bag of Pickled Onion Space Raiders for him to be honest.

A little undervalued, no? I would have held out for two bags of spicy nik-naks.

a half eaten Freddo Frog would have represented a good deal. Actual coin is a mega deal.

Perhaps one bag of Nik-Naks and one bag of Space Raiders. Two bags of Nik-Naks? Only a club like Liverpool would fall for that.

He's getting a lot of stick but he looked really good in his first half season. It's a shame that he couldn't get back to those levels.

[Villa in Denmark]

Even if we needed to pay to get him off the books, he's been value for money, purely for his contribution in his first 5 months.

Good enough in the long run? Apparently not.
Did what was needed there and then? Definitely.

Partly because he hardly ever got a look in playing in the same role as that first few months. I really thought he was going to kick on and become an integral player after that first 8-10 games. Shame, hope he gets back to that level.

I can't recall if he had a pre-season injury or not, but by the start of the next season Karim had won his place back. KEA had a good pre-season that year, and Sylla didn't really. Then during the season proper he really struggled to have an impact whenever his chance came. But then again aside from 5 months of playing okay under Lambert, the vast majority of the side for his 2.5 seasons were wretched.
