Players come and go, that is football. If these so called fans your referring to actually start booing that player at games, or making active protests against them while they're playing for the club, then I would put that on a par with a player's behaviour of agitating for a move... that would...

Okay, I'm not going to contest people will have different opinions. I only started by countering your post about the 'general view' and 'double standards'. If you think he acted in an honourable honest way with the club, then that is up to you.

It was reported at the time: he [Bridcutt] asked not to be considered for Albion's trip to Derby County last Saturday after telling assistant coach Nathan Jones he would not be focused to play. Now, that to me is a player not wanting to play. It might not be a breach of contract is it is not...

Who can blame him....there are ways to leave a football club, honour your contract and look to forward your career on mutually acceptable terms i.e. Ulloa. There are then those that throw their toys out of the pram, don't honour their contract or the club that have got their career in the...
