    Honestly, I don't feel too bothered about this one, and that's speaking as an Australian. The only thing that gives me pause is that Ange seemingly wanted him, and his record of identifying talent has been good. He also obviously knows better than anyone what is required for his system.

    Having said that, just going on the little I've seen of them, Wolf clearly looks the better option, and I hope we have a realistic chance of getting him. But even the new guy on the scene Kendouci looks a more talented prospect, although granted, there's more of an unknown quality to him.

    Didn't particularly want him til he didn't want us. Hope Middlesbrough don't get promoted and he's left there in the championship. Texting Uncle Ange next year "how's u?"(only to be rubbered).

    There’s no point getting upset to be honest. Rejection is all part of it.

    The boy obviously sees an opportunity to earn more money at a low-pressure club. Fair play to him, if you don’t rate yourself then take the cash and an easy life. That’s exactly what the English Championship is.

    Main thing for me is a quick resolution so we can move on. There’s plenty of other players out there we can get and time is against us.

    Choosing Championship mid table fight over winning cups, leagues and European football shows no great ambition. Don't know much about him other than chasing the money, can't help but think he is going to regret it. No great loss to us, we move on to the next target.

    Saying the Birmingham fans loved him doesn’t really say much, Birmingham are * * a mind a few years back the Huns were getting a guy called Jon Toral who the Birmingham fans loved, Birmingham player of the year all saying what a great player he was, guy was utter dog *,end of day people with that sneaky sleekit me me persona can fk off, don’t want players like that in your team
    Any way seen how well the last cuntz who thought he was too good for us is doing in Tyneside papped oot the cup by Cambridge heading for relegation, dodged a bullet with him, probably same with this sneak aswell

    Style of player we could be doing with but better than him out there

    Put the money towards Hickey and get Wolf on a loan to buy.

    Gerrard monitoring him at Villa.

    Disappointed as I don't like missing out on players but before we were linked to him I had never heard of him.

    After watching his videos, I only wanted him because Ange did.

    Hickey is well out of our price range now.

    Another example of allowing young talent to slip through the net. It's not like we need a left back or anything...

    We can do far better,Ange obviously on some sort of budget and Riley made sense at £2.5mil.Choosing a mid table championship club over trophies and Euro football with Ange,muppet.

    He left us because he believed he would get more first team opportunities at Hearts by all accounts we wanted to keep him. We tried to sign him again but he turned us down for Italy. It wasn't like we let him go because we didn't think he would make it like Andy Robertson
