Hope he's got Gabby, Lescott and Richards in there as well!

I think we'd want the opposite for them.

Truth be told he is not cut out for us right now, mentally he comes across frail and I think that we as a club are in a more hungrier fighting spirit than Veretout.

I hope he has a cracking season and will be like a new signing when we're a premier league team next season.

He seemed to be a fighter on the pitch last season? Our best deeper-lying centre mid IMO. Wish him well.

Not an ounce of football intelligence.

He loves a moan at his team mates.

**** sake

Glad he's going. I suspect the 'altercation' at Worcester was the final straw for both parties. Just a couple of crossed words but it showed a section of the support wouldn't forgive and forget. Certainly had the truth been told about the car tweet - rather than making up some thing about a multi-millionaire footballer not having a phone that locks - then it might have been retrievable.

I thought it'd be a good signing, especially alongside his mate in defence. I thought he'd make us dangerous from set pieces and it was good to have 'one of us' in there. Completely wrong with that one.

Time for everyone to move on.

What happened when we played Worcester?

Why is everyone laying into him? I don't blame him for wanting to leave tbh. Massive talent and he's never going to improve if he doesn't play.

I really like the look of our squad. Only complaint is that it's a bit bloated.

We have 3 left backs, 6 centre backs (counting Richards) and Gabby.

Commitment isn't the issue. He just needs to be a bit more intelligent with the ball sometimes.

Never really bought into the Adama love, think he is a poor player tbh, just because hes fast, he really doesnt have any sort of end product and comes across as someone with a massive ego

He actually comes across really well IMO.

Unbalanced , exaggerated post on VT shocker.

McCann may not have been trendy, but he was FAR from awful. 

Jeez. Never rated him, just my opinion.

Gavin McCann was awful.

I think it's exciting to have a young keeper with seemingly lots of potential. I'd rather we gave him game time tbh and let him improve.

Both of these kicks could have easily not have ended up as goals conceded and no-one would be discussing this. It's not as if either of them were absolute howlers.

Fielding an inexperienced, overseas, 21 year old keeper isn't bad luck. Its an error of judgement from the manager.

Not if he grows in confidence every game, going on to have a fantastic season and becoming a hot young property. We've always got Bunn who is fine for this level.

Whatever you say, surely our unbelievable bad luck has to end at some point this season.

Yesterday was barely a mistake IMO. Just severe bad luck.

Watching the tribute back has made me feel unbelievably emotional. Sad and nostalgic feelings through the roof

RIP Dalian. Thanks for the memories.

From his Father:

"He was in a real state.

“I don’t know if he was drunk or on drugs but he was very agitated and his mind was upset.

"The last thing he said to me was ‘don’t move’ when the police came to the door.

“He was threatening and very upset. I didn’t call the police but someone else did.

'He got tasered in the street outside in the road. I didn't see him but I saw a flash. I haven't had any sleep and cannot take it in. The police are dealing with this now.'

It was his last minute goals in BOTH legs of that famous semi against Tranmere that took us to Wembley. In the final he was outstanding. Deano and Dalian are my favourite strike force ever to grace the claret and blue.

Can't believe this...

What a 2nd leg that was.

Very sad  Can't quite believe it tbf. My first pets (goldfish) were named Saunders and Atkinson.

That's the manager's call regarding the squad not Xia's

Fair point. Let's hope RDM can make solid decisions from now on!

Give Tony a break, he's still learning about our squad and what level we're at. If he thinks something may benefit us but may upset a few in the process, I'd rather he does it. This is if Bennett's happy to stay.
