Greg Sandiford let go by us in the summer for nothing. Signs for Coventry, now gets an international callup!! It is for Grenada, but it's still international.

He and Finch getting released has been overlooked because of Kai Yearn but I can't help thinking we may've cocked up.
Don't know the full story obviously and it could have been their decisions to leave, but I was disappointed they left regardless.

If Yearn was as good as the hype, then he'd be in and around a first team by now surely. Whether that be League 1, League 2 or conference. I saw his squad number at Coventry is 58, or something like that - so hasn't got a chance of getting into their first team. My gut feeling is that we aren't going to miss him.

Yearn apparently wanted to stay in under 23's development for the time being (something we obviously couldn't offer) so I don't think there's too much to read into his shirt number at Coventry because he's very much there as a development player.
Time will tell on all three I guess.

Terrible player

Sounds a great initiative. It’s really tough in a team sport to train properly when you’re not in a team. A non league side might let you hang around for a bit, but it’s not the same intensity and sooner or later it’ll be “play for us or piss off”

‘Jack Lankester puts a good cross in’ would be an alternative headline. He’s not featured much for Crewe so far.

Was just about to post this link, an interesting perspective. This from Akanbi had me scratching my head: 'I came here for four weeks, went to a club, did really well, but had been away from home for quite a bit so had to take a break, went back and the situation had changed because someone else was available.' Not sure what he was getting at there, but sounds like he threw away an opportunity because he left to go back home for a break?

No club, seemed to have a chance but went home instead.

Or it's literally like he said - he spent 4 weeks constantly away from home chasing a contract, and took a short break back home because it's not sustainable to do that forever.
Not everything has to be a bad attitude, and nothing about the way Akanbi's conducted himself in anything else I've heard from him suggests attitude problems.

Not everything has to be a bad attitude, and nothing about the way Akanbi's conducted himself in anything else I've heard from him suggests attitude problems. Saleem really impressed me last season when he did a couple of slots on BBC Cambs as a match summariser with Jonno and Doug. Clearly a bright lad and nothing suggested his attitude was anything other than spot on. He also comes over well in this PFA piece too. Context is everything of course and with more context we’d probably understand the ‘going home’ bit. I hope he gets fixed up.
