How much we miss him will depend on what happens in the summer transfer window. We need a couple of good midfielders, and if N'Zogbia is given a reprieve, he could well offer us some flair we've sorely lacked. Perhaps Keane can fire a few rockets up Charlies backside and get him fired up.

Or give away a daft free kick late in the game from which we score.

Its a good signing for them as he has a decent amount of PL experience, is a good old school winger, and more importantly will have a point to prove.

For us I think it is a lost,  he has been one of our better players over the last few years (when he has played) and still has his best days ahead of him.  Good luck to him.

He will only play well, up various levels, against us. 

The other games he will be playing in the level when he was with us.  One good game in a dozen.

I like Marc but it's not a huge loss.

It is if we don't sign a quality winger.  He never played under Lambert so we might as well have sold him, but for the reasons mentioned before I see it as loss.

I don't think we'll sign a winger to be honest. Lambert doesn't really like playing with the old fashioned chalk on the boots winger. We'll hopefully sign 1-2 players capable of player that number 10 role, and perhaps another wide forward to compete with Gabby and Weimann (unless Zoggy is re-instated).
Again, that's probably a large part of the reason we didn't keep Albrighton on. Lambert used him more out of needs must really. I don't think Alby was ever really his sort of player, which is why he never really got a solid run, despite playing well enough to.

So you're saying Albrighton is worth 35k a week?

He certainly is not. Only Benteke and Delph are worth that out of the current lot.

No idea what he is being paid, if or what he was offered to stay. Just like every one else on here. As a footballer he is better than most of our current squad.

I agree with Chicago, who are you going to bring in better than Albrighton basically on a free who would be better value
He was an improving player last season after a torrid time, so he showed he has some guts, that's what we need someone who is prepared to work at their game

I would take Albrighton over N'nzog every time and zig is on double his wage

Let's face it, Marc is better off chancing his arm at Leicester. Lambert doesn't like wingers. He prefers attacking full backs (who can't defend) to provide any width.
