    Totally different? So bouncing around so mush doesnt say something? A loan is a move away from a situation, a team or club. Whether it?s 7 or 13 moves it?s still a lot for a 27 year old and almost everyone seems to agree that his departure leaves a lot to be desired.
    On his return, he?s due a Meadow Lane roasting and it?s due.

    Contract that with what Ruben would get if he came back - did the business, saw his contract out, left the right way. He?d get a massive welcome, Crowley will return to a chorus of boos
    They is referring to the ones you wouldn?t interview. Are they footballers?

    I agree about his departure and said previously I was extremely disappointed with how he had done it.

    Whether it is 7 or 13 though really does change the context. Yes he is only 27 but it is over 10 years.

    He may come back to a chorus of boos (I won?t be, but won?t clap him either) if he really is the devil in disguise as some seem to think he is, I am not sure it would bother him. In fact, I think he is more likely to turn it on.

    Thanks for the good memories I say, but that?s in the past now and you are playing for a rival.

    I think 13 moves in 10 years, be them loans or permanent, is telling, and ties in with this latest departure.
    Who cares whether it bothers him or not? As long as fans express themselves, which is a nailed on certainty...that's fans being fans, no need to bring any devils into it, he's a christian after all

    You can't treat loans the same as permanent moves though. Not the same at all. Mind, you did say 7 or 13 moves, now you conveniently only say 13!!

    Do you employ footballers?

    Of course loan moves count. It's an indicator of a players experience, ability or temperament. In this case temperament seems to be the case, if you take the time to read his Wiki page (yes I know, it's trial by Wiki) you will see that several times his attitude is questioned, he even mentions it himself "In a 2018 interview, Crowley admitted that his inability to handle being left out of the team caused a problem: "I started to fall out with people because I wasn't playing. I was getting on the gaffer's nerves and he just said 'You have got to go'." He has moved around so much for a reason.
    Don't get me wrong, I wish he had stayed and become a friggin Notts legend, he's that good, but he decided it was time for him to put NCFC behind him.

    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.

    Whether it is 7 or 13 though really does change the context. Yes he is only 27 but it is over 10 years.

    Compare that to McGoldrick who is 10 years older and played for less clubs, even coming back "home" to us when he could have stayed with Derby for at least 1 more season, tell me which one is the true professional. DC's statement said "Playing football at Notts helped me fall in love with football again" which indicates he has had some form of issue with the game where he was difting in a downward spiral (wasn't Ruben on a similar path before joining us). Think we are a good nurturing club and that can get lost in a players ego, especially when agents have their ear.

    In that case, DM has played for 7 different clubs. True professional - what does that make Sam Slocombe who is almost as old but has only played for 5? 7 different clubs really is not unusual these days.

    Are you suggesting he should have said 'are he footballers'?

The club would have got no transfer fee and he could have got a bigger signing on fee plus a higher wage.?
    Yes a nasty horrible man obviously..!
    Personally I think we both got a result..good luck DC, thanks for the memories.
    I agree with Pedro!
