His form dropped because the team at the time was playing dire long ball football, he was a lone striker with nobody within 20 yards of him and absolutely no creativity in midfield and every month he was probably losing over a £100k in extra wages

It was a dick move by him to force a transfer. But he's not a city fan. Take the emotion out of it. Most footballers would do it!
But you can't call him out, yet defend an u21 player who also 'downed tools' by refusing a loan.
The hypocrisy by some on here is laughable.

That's fair enough up until the 'under 21' jibe...
Lots more to that than you understand but hey, each to their own and if you think a 1st team player is okay to let the club down when we needed him so much, I wonder what low levels are acceptable before a player is able to be criticised for downing tools (something the under 21 never did)?

Nobody could deny him a move to a better paid job but if I was the manager I would have said you can go in the summer to give us time to find a replacement and perhaps encourage more interest, if you don't want to do that and continue to mess us about its the youth team. Of course what nobody knows is that the BOD would have taken any money for him and sold him under the managers nose. Ramsey was a different but similar sale on the cheap in a way. Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd all wanted him and he went for a pathetic £5 million. How often do we sell to the first bidder?
No doubt we will be back to Ramsey and his trip to Disney pretty soon!

Kieffer Moore wore our shirt. Did the business. Deserves criticism, yes, of course. An u21 who never did, refuses to do as told, not allowed to criticise. Engage... Tell us what you know... You won't.
Why pretend to know more than others? It's childish.
Lots more to the a lot world of professional football than you understand too. But hey. Each to their own.

I love posts like this, where a disgruntled poster (in this case you) makes out the information given is not correct usually because they know so little themselves...![]()
It's not the first time you've had a little snipe and I doubt it will be the last but let's clear this particular post up, so that you just might think in the future...
Firstly, Keiffer Moore did very well for us in his first season but he 100% down-tooled once he became aware of the ultimately failed Wolves bid. That he hardly played after that will always grate with me and others I know. He fully deserves criticism for that...
I don't (quote you) "pretend to know more than others" but to prove it doesn't mean I have to give away my contacts and/or sources. People on here can take anything that is put out by myself or any other poster in any way they like but there are others who will have backed me up on the Lennon Peake situation because they also know the details. Not telling you personally doesn't mean they aren't correct...
The world of professional football is a dynamic one, where things change almost by the minute. It doesn't mean information passed on isn't 'correct' at point of posting but as with anything, situations/positions change and you've been on here long enough to know that (or at least I thought you had)

Nice. Good post. So you basically agree with everything I've said. Thanks.
Doesn't also stop you from being a hypocrite. (As I did not say your info was incorrect). Fact is you can't criticise one player for doing something and not another for doing very similar.
But I suppose you also have 'sources' in Kieffer's camp too?!
For info. I'm not a disgruntled poster. I am not going to suck up to you (as others do). I am a valued poster who talks as much sense, nonsense and banter as the next person. Just because you don't always agree with me doesn't mean I'm wrong!

I am certainly not a hypocrite and you need to understand that word before bandying it so loosely. I don't think (and would be dismayed if) anyone 'sucks up' to me. That is not what I'm about and anyone who actually knows me will tell you that but you believe what you like. It's your prerogative, rightly or (in this case) wrongly...
Whether I agree or disagree with you at any point is yours to decide but IMHO you are a disgruntled poster because you don't like that others may know a little bit more than you on occasion and your responses (as above) often show that
Having said that, I don't recall saying you weren't 'valued' at any point and I often agree with your views...
For the record, I don't have anyone in 'Keiffer's camp' and never suggested otherwise. I simply criticise him on the evidence as I see it (he down-tooled) and will stand by that...
The U-21 was a completely different situation that had as much to do with our club's off-field antics as it did on-field...

You can admit you are being a hypocrite in this situation. Not in life, not in general.
I'm not disgruntled and certainly not because you know more. Grow up. I know my value, I don't need you to justify that and I know you didn't say I'm not. But you love putting words in others mouths too. There's a lot more about football, footballers and our club I know than you. But I simply don't shout from the rooftops about it.
I agree with you there is more to the situation than I know. I'm not really as bothered as you think I am. If I wanted to I'd find out. I just don't agree with people talking in riddles as you do on occasion.
And I don't agree with unwarranted criticism or protecting people that also deserve it.
But you're never wrong. We know that. I can't win. The end.
