I'd go with that for now, until more comes out, if it ever does
he's a good lad, who I felt could go on and play first team, easily for us, but I dont know just how good he really is or indeed his real potential,me being just a punter
I asked him and he said he was offered a deal, from that point of view, the club done all they can regards gaining compensation etc.
can argue long and hard about how good a deal etc, but with an excess of players in front of him for game time, it would be difficult for club to offer big stakes or indeed for the lad to choose to stay and be at least third in line for any likely place, when at a stage in his career where, its all about playing time.
As for the club not commenting on him leaving, they have not on any player who moved on with an expired contract
or were you commenting on compensation?, be hard if the lad hasnt signed for anyone yet or indeed retired as ESWB might be implying.
If you know more, please fill in some blanks, for me it still looks like unfortunate timing for both parties, or if a little harshly put, a successful first team , which has led to limited spaces for lads breaking through, under budget restraints.
EDIT: or what the fella above says, you're just leading us on
