Maw74 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's funny to be talking about him as a legend, but have him on the exit list. Oh yeah I put him on there as part of my plans to make the club mainly British players, I forget that he is on and should really take him off, my plan was to limit my squad to about 3/5 foreign players. Crazy thing is that nobody made any bids for him in either window, not that I was too upset though and it hasn't stopped him performing well so I guess he doesn't hold it against me.
