He should've stayed at Reading longer.

We signed him with a lot of hype but the reality is he only had played 20-30 pro games when we signed him.

I agree he didn't look too bad at times last season but just looks a case of us signing a young player and giving him a massive deal and he's on easy street then.

Reality might dawn when he's in league two.

Bizarre we signed him in the first place when you think how inexperienced he was and the fact we needed some real quality to get out of the division. £5m could have been spent better elsewhere

Gollini, Elphick, Tish, McCormack cost what, quite a bit over £20m?
 Add Hogan to that and it's over £30m

I doubt RDM had a clue who he was. Given Steve Clarke managed him at Reading I'd imagine he pushed the club for the signing.

You're right. But £5m?

Yes we were mugged off there for someone who'd played so few pro games.

Westwood was more experienced and we signed him for about 1m.

Wasn't it £5m subject to the usual appearances/milestone clauses?

he got sent off and let the rest of the team down

but the idea things aren’t going well are not true, he’s had more MOTM than any other player so far and the MK supporters I speak to (I live in the area) say he’s the best player they got

so it’s not been all bad for the lad

Yeah, you have to question Clarke's judgement of a player to prioritise signing him.  He'd have seen him train, know his attitude, so it should have been as close to a banker as exists in football.

He's 22 years old (23 after Christmas) still got some time to turn it around?

Kickback from the agent, or player, I bet

MK Dons have returned him undelivered today, apparently.

5 million down the drain, to go with the 25 million on McCormack and Hogan.

I still think it's more attitude than ability that's his problem.
