    He was being lined up as a signing long before Ange appeared on the season; he is definitely not a Ange signing - Obviously the hope was he would get himself fit and find form but there was no guarantees that would happen which is why a 4 year deal seems massively excessive

    After a full pre-season you would have hoped he would have got himself fully fit and maybe given Ange something to think about but the fact he wasnt even on the bench on Sunday suggests he is still miles off getting a place in the starting 11 - Poor signing who we could do with getting off the wage bill; like Julien he may be preventing Ange bringing in more players

    I think everything he brings is off field. A few players now have mentioned how he helped them settle and both Jota and CCV said hes the funniest player in the dressing room (hard to believe)

    They said unintentionally funny, not quite the same as being a joker.

    Seems like it. Could have got Kevin Bridges for cheaper I bet.

    Him, Ajeti and Julien will be amongst our very top earners and they cant even get in the match day squad.

    Painfull.

    Can’t believe the leeway this guy gets.

    A full calendar year to get fit and he’s still nowhere near it. Yet others are getting crucified for their fitness.

    Couldn’t care if he’s ‘funny’ (which basically means immature in football). He’ll be on upwards of £20,000 a week.

    Nearly £4million a year in wages wasted if I assume each of those players is on £25k a week

    They are basically saying they're laughing at him.

    He's laughing all the way to the bank and whoever gave him a four year deal needs chased and why would McCarthy want to go to another club when he's earning thousands a week sitting on his * :47:

    In hindsight looking back at this analysis which turned out to be quite accurate - this signing was a major red flag. Was never going to fit into Ange's system.

    No ill will towards the guy but needs loaned out if we can't sell him.

    Still think he's a decent player just has no chance with Anges team and tactics..

    Praying there’s some truth to that but I’d be surprised if there is.

    Need punted asap.

    Best for all parties
