At the very least it shows there was a divide between the English and French players (probably not a surprise considering the manager favoured English players and the club bought players following scouting recommendations). The new signings may not have felt welcome at the club.

As much as I don't like that he didn't stay to help us get promoted I can also understand given how all of the foreign players were treated under Sherwood why he might want to get out. That said I think there is talent there and I want as many talented players at the club provided they want to be with us and are motivated. That's the key.

At the end of last season he needed to get away from the Club and play his football elsewhere so as to regain his confidence. There was too much going on last season around the players, especially the foreign ones.

Interesting interview with Sylla on a French football website that can be found on news now - very complimentary about us and was very supportive when his interviewer implied we were on a death spiral out of the championship

And he's off.  £4.5m to Saint Etienne.

Shame. He looked like he at least had some technical ability, something I've not spotted in most of our squad.

Probably why he's being sold.

It'll probably free up the money for Bruce to make a move for Lee Cattermole.

Not Cattermole he isn't on the right nearly as often as he would want him to be.  I heard he's trying to sign Nigel Farage currently without a club.

Agreed. Then again to be fair he also looked very slow, even in our squad.

You're shitting me?

I hope we've retained a sell-on for Veretout. He might yet do very good things. Interesting that he was involved a fair bit in the friendlies so far. I wonder if Bruce was still trying to get him to stay.

4.5 is fine as long as it include 50% of any profit over 4.5m for future sell ons. If it doesn't, it's really shit.
