Rammy03 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 A shame. I hope everything goes well for him but I think a few of us knew he wouldn't end up playing a game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alty_Ram Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just to echo the above comments really. It felt like a gamble but if it had worked then we'd have had an excellent player at this level in a position that we needed it. Shame. Good luck for the future Jordon, hope you can find yourself a good place and I hope that whatever help you received at DCFC has put you on a better track.

ollycutts1982 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Good luck Jordan. Ultimately with the position we are in we cannot afford to be paying wages of players who we can’t rely to play week in week out so purely from a business point of view letting Ibe and Marriott go makes perfect sense and won’t weaken us from last season but will free up funds to reinvest. nogbad van 50 and r_wilcockson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 good luck to him but the club needs players who are going to contribute something ....knew when saw him in under23s he was miles away from the player we originally had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 well it didn't work, I hoped it would. I wish him all the best, I hope he gets better and gets on the grass as he still has the chance to have a good career. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Yep - rather a desperate signing at the time - didn't work out - move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo’s left foot Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 He was always going to be a risk, shame for him its not worked out. I do fear for him, if he cannot cope with the privileged life of a pro footballer, what will he do when confronted with the real world we all live in?

I’d suggest watching the last interview he did a couple of months back with a podcast I can’t remember the name of. I think a large part of his issues was he became targeted because he was a professional footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have a different take on this I'm afraid. As another poster has pointed out, it was clear from the start where the problems lay. This whole situation smacks of a complete lack of due diligence, desperation and a finger in the wind strategy. S8TY and Chester40 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Of all the players we lost today I can't help thinking this will be the least impactful. Not blaming him really (although maybe he could have been more honest about his ability to play at this level), but he was a non-entity last season and a drain of wages. Props to him for leaving by mutual consent, he could have just sat and took the money. Bit of a gamble, but it could have paid off as there was definitely some talent there. Interesting to see where he goes from here, I hope he can come out on top of his issues. Ted McMinn Football Genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just couldn't see the point of getting him in the first place, we seem to career from the sublime to the ridiculous in our transfer strategy if that is indeed the correct word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a desperate move by us but worth the risk but I personally think it should have been just one year pay as you play incentive contract. Never mind and move on - we need players who are fit and well enough to play as a basic requirement Tyler Durden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 How can he be any kind of loss when he contributed nothing ...should never have been signed hope he enjoyed being paid a decent wage for doing absolutely nothing ...as much as i have sympathy for people with problems why did DCFC think it was a good idea to sign him in the first place Archied, Chester40 and Derby4Me 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was, it didn’t come off, but the outlay would appear to be minimal. Would imagine he now goes with everyone’s best wishes. Hopefully he can get playing again but first and foremost hopefully he is able to get himself well again. r_wilcockson, Reggie Greenwood, Tamworthram and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
