He was often the worst player on the pitch, he put in some proper turgid performances that weren't worth the occasional decent performance he turned in. Not disappointed at all to never see this guy again.Not good enough in the Championship, so there's no way he was going to contribute this season.

Not good enough for this level.

A poor signing but he scored a couple of goals, including one very good one, whereas we have signed some players who have contributed literally nothing so he's not the worst.

Always looked miserable as sin.

With the window closing far earlier this year I would have kept him. We've got the best part of five months to get through now and injuries can take hold.

For the record this wouldn't have been an option, we had too many over 21s (we still have) so he wouldn't have got a squad number and wouldn't have been eligible to play, so one of the U23s has to take that backup role instead.

He would have been okay, just about, assuming we don't pick four goalkeepers in the squad.

Keeping the 4 keepers is one thing that has surprised me. Obviously you need someone to want Kalinic or Nyland but i'd have thought someone would.

Still can go elsewhere, I suspect Kalinic will

He was a miserable sod but he seemed to try. Good luck to him.

I remember watching him when he first came and he looked like he'd won a fan competition to play pro football for a day. To me it seemed like he'd never seen a football in his life. Great goal against Wolves, though.

He will get offers from lower divisions but typical of the hit and miss of that management.

Still time to go abroad, 4 weeks left I think.
