Things are cooking now.

Bizarre episode. Hopefully the announcement means we are ready to confirm replacement soon.

And weirdly rumoured to be signing for Salford…..

Must be part of the Croft deal surely?

‘Let us buy croft and we’ll make sure you don’t pay a fee for Nene’

He’ll get a warm reception from the South Stand im sure!

You’d think so as otherwise very strange to terminate a contract and allow him to move to another SL club for free

He won't be back in the UK.

If it was part of a Croft deal it would be here's xxx pounds plus Nene.

That could be effectively what has happened and maybe why it’s been kept quiet

Good riddance tbh. I don't care what the personal circumstances were, disappearing from the club and not keeping them informed where he was - at a potentially critical time of the season - was totally unacceptable.

I wish we'd played hardball with him, and maybe we have, but his attitude won't be missed even if his on field ability might be.

We can’t make exceptions on attitude for some talent. Shame because phsically the guy is an athlete but there is a reason he’s over here and this is not the first time demons have caught up with the lad.

Spot on

Another one out before their contract was fulfilled.

Wrongly I thought that the club would say he is on contract to us. Any club wanting him, pay a transfer fee to us.

Clearly Nene's statement a week or two ago was in an attempt to try protect himself from being sacked without a payout. If Nene has been offered as part of the deal for Croft then it works for both us and Salford. The last thing we wanted was Nene remaining on the books, not playing whilst being paid and taking a crucial quota spot away from us.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Seems his off field attitude left a lot to be desired.

I assumed the complete opposite. Second he didn't come back I assumed we'd just let him off his contract and he'd be free to go and sign for whoever he wanted. Lo and behold…
