Having said all of that, outside of this transfer we are having a good window. And I do trust those at the club now more than ever since the Dan Ashworth days.
I could be wrong but I dont recall him ever having a great game against a top championship side. He tends to go missing against decent full backs. Premier league defenders would have him on toast in my opinion.

I would feel more strongly about the low price if this was a bloke we strongly relied on like Perreira who we played through.

I might be understating his importance and it all comes down to the replacement, but I don’t think it’s a gross decision from the club.
