No, you said 7. He's moved clubs 13 times and the principle applies to footballers too. Bouncing around like that does say something.

In answer to others though, the main headline remains that a main rival has taken a major asset from us mid-competition.

About 11 clubs are competing for 3 promotion spots. 1 of these clubs (us) had arguably the best player in the division (note the 'arguably' there). At over the half way point of the competition, a rival has taken that asset away and now he plays for them and boosts their chances. And they were in constant touch with that contracted player and his agent during the first half of the competition too!

We can all agree that we made the best of a bad situation, good riddance and all of that, but we're not supposed to be happy about this. It sucks.
