    Summerville

    Saw some article that indicated a German club signing him for 1.7 Million????? I know a lot of info on the net is wind up but....

    if so, I just don't understand the logic. Raph goes for big bucks and we have a player fast as blazes that's super young and we offload him for a song? I know that have a lot of wingers but give the guy a chance at the big time.

    Assume that we'll do the same with Drameh.

    The concept of have a great youth academy is lost if you don't use the product developed or sell them for a fire sale price.

    Rant over.

    Don't know anything about Summerville, but no way Cody Drameh will be sold for a small price. Drameh's performances with Cardiff will ensure that if we do sell him he will go for a decent amount. Summerville has not played regular first team football except with U23's, there's the difference.

    Summerville is good - he is usually the stand out player for the u23 and at times almost seems unplayable.

    Not sure why he hasn’t had more first team game time - maybe it is confidence. There was a podcast that had Bate and Hjelde on it and they both said it was nerve wracking coming into the first team - I guess we often forget that aspect as fans.

    Since he wanted to go there during the season I can see it been true. I have a feeling we will lose Phillips Raph and a few 23s as well. Mr. Orta has already come out mouth wide open saying we will be staying with a small squad next season so expect more melts incoming and more widelly positive sayers whom change a little later. As they say better late than never.

    Be dissapointed if we sold him without him really having a chance but to be fair when he has had a chance he hasn't really grasped it in the way Gelhardt has so maybe he just isnt quite the right level

    A chance......59 minutes over 5 appearances in an entire season? We're on the hook for nigh on £22m for roughly the same number of minutes "played" by Augustin and seemingly no-ine thinks that's unacceptable???????

    I'd have another 59 minutes of Somerville rather that ANY minutes from the fat slob Orta thought was worth a kings ransom!!!!
