Saw it. Damn - that's really disappointing. I want to see skills and be entertained and DC provided that, along with the effectiveness to open up defences. It was a great season and a half watching him at the hub of our attacking play.

And yes, selling to a promotion rival is a potential disaster. If him and Nemane fire MK to the final promotion spot and we're on the outside looking in, it won't be good moment for the club, that's for sure. However, someone asked about what the selling price would be a while back, for someone highly likely to leave for nothing in 4 months time. Well 300K would be over that mark I think, and if he wants to go it makes sense.

Finally, I don't think it's just about money. His tenure here took a strange turn, even had a strange start. His prior friendship with Bostock, and then Bostock not being extended and the very less than smooth change of management team. Plus his unusual, for a footballer, avowals of his christianity. No problem at all, honesty to be admired in fact, but an unusual thing to do for a pro footballer. Then there was the strange ear-cupping moment with the fans in the kop. Truth is he's bounced around a lot, and we forget that he's young. It's normal for 27-year olds to be still discovering themselves.

We're fans and the manner of the departure leaves a sour taste. For me he's done a Burchnall and left a great club for a smaller club. It was great watching you DC, but you're an ex-player and a rival now. Game on

It?s really not unusual for footballers to share their Christianity. There are many in the Premiership. Bostock started ?Ballers in God? which is growing. Saka, Allison, several at Crystal Palace.

Maybe, but not quite the point I was making.

I'm saying it's a bold move to bare your soul in post-match interviews. It gets the attention of fans, team mates, management.

Would he have revealed that if Bostock wasn't at the club and had done so himself? Only he can answer but I kind of doubt it.
Will he be doing so again in his early interviews for MK Dons?

I think it all goes in the mix and it isn't just about the money. He was saying Notts and LW were the best thing ever, fast forward a month or two and he was noticeably less chipper. I think he needed to move on to his 13th club in 10 years for his own personal reasons
