I don’t get the anger people have and think it’s misplaced. He was going to stay, but a call from their club President saying if he doesn’t go now he’s never playing for his boyhood club, and another call from Drogba (ex Marseille), swayed him. They were also in Europe.
Final year of his contract and he was obviously worth more than we were able to offer him. It was clear we were going to stink up the league (Ndiaye at his peak doesn’t keep last seasons side up).
If we’d forced him to stay he’d have left on a free this summer. We’d still be in the Championship, we wouldn’t have Ndiaye, and we wouldn’t have signed Hamer last summer.

Shithead.
I hope he lights it up.
