    So am I reading right from that translation that he wasn't getting paid for the three months, then there was a wage agreed, and we then offered him a third of the agreed wage?

    What on earth? I was quite looking forward to us having a big physical winger for a change. :38:

    he seemed very promising, but injury prone.

    Would have liked to have seen more of him to be honest, a little disappointed to read this. I'm also pretty concerned about the part highlighted in bold!

    This.

    If that isn't penny pinching then I don't know what is.

    If he's been brought here under false pretences then the board have to answer to this.

    You can't move a man and his family move to another country only then to offer him a third of the agreed wage/contract because he hasn't had that much pitch time, which is what I gather the "lack of experience" part to mean, match practice?

    He looked ok but he didnt prove his fitness over 3 months. 55 mins of football is not enough to earn a contract. Trialists play more than he did in bounce games ffs. I hope he gets his fitness back and finds a club because he looked a decent player

    this. i don't blame him for leaving. you sign him by telling him one thing and then three months later, after the clause in the contract runs out you try and change it around. * way of doing business this

    I've backed the board as much as any fan could but if there's any truth in this, the board need to respond.

    From a business sense, the fact that he hasn't played much isn't his fault, so to attempt to change the contract on him because you feel he may be an expensive punt...well, if this was the case, I can understand why the board tried to renegotiate, but it is wrong. Got to think of the player and his family in this one.

    I wonder what the agreed wage was that they had offered. I wasn't aware that he wasn't being paid whilst he was here, it's a shame though because even though he didn't play much he looked pretty good when he did. Would have liked to have him as an option.

    Ok 1st of all it looks like we never even paid the guy so i don't know what you mean by waste of money. And secondly i don't know how you can come to the conclusion that he was a waste of space. He never really got a run in the team but from what little he did feature he looked like a good player. Certainly a player that when fully fit should definitely be challenging for a regular starting slot or at the very least a more than capable squad player.

    If this is true, then I totally understand him for leaving.

    Coming up here, playing for free for 3 months and then having the club go back on the original signed deal. No, thanks.
