Come on......Do you not pride yourself on your originality ?

As did Pat Richards & Amos Roberts at Wigan.

Plus when Morley went down under it took him a season to settle down.

Ellis & Flanagan don't seem to have found it too hard though.

It doesn't matter who you are.....after the initial thrill of being in a new country with a new challenge time erodes it... and you begin to miss all the things you left behind. It usually sets in after about 6 months and is recognised classically as the norm.



This is the point when many return to their country of origin, if they still have the capability to do so.....only then to remember why they left in the first place and try yet again. UK ex pats in Oz and NZ who do this are known as "ping-pong Poms". (There are many of them.)



However, if you can get through this sticky point either through sheer willpower or through having no choice (usually lack of money).....and you do.....you then settle and treat your new home in your new country as your 'proper' and only home.



I speak from experience. Matt King went through the same without doubt; Eastwood is going through it. He just needs understanding and support.....but it will be extremely hard now that he is again sidelined kicking his heels.



I suspect realistically he might now negotiate a release if Leeds sympathise, which I'm sure they will.

I don't recall me saying nobody has ever claimed that it is a privilege. Do you?

AND why should I listen to you ??





Sure this is boring for everybody else....so, if you like, revel in your pathetic having-the- last-word-glory my "friend".

Over to you.

If you were happy for him to revel in the "pathetic having-the-last-word-glory" why did you bother to respond at all, other than to prolong the argument you seem so keen to leave?

I would doubt that after holding him to his original contract for over a year, despite visa problems, Leeds would let him go without either a fee or a suitable player in exchange - even one currently contracted to another club. Leeds will not sympathise, I wouldn't and I'm not nearly as hard assed as GH (have you forgotten the Harris saga?). Have we released an overseas player who was actually not completely $h1t or looking at a long injury layoff?



I'd make him stay. His form is good, when he actually gets on the field, and he's got another 2 years to run on his contract. I suspect he never considered Leeds would hold him to his contract after the visa issue and still can't believe he had to leave the Dogs. I think he needs to put it out of his mind and realise he's going to be a Leeds player for the next 2 and a bit seasons and once he does that he can get on with playing footy like we pay him to do.

I agree.



Drag your pet lip in Greg and knuckle down. If you cannot do that then be more careful and you wont trip over it.

It has the consistency of the stool I passed this morning. Not only does it pretend keen to leave a discussion when it isn't, it pretends it's going to leave a forum then it doesn't.



But the worst thing is, it claims it's going to support another club because we haven't signed a certain player. It's a bit of a pathetic individual.







I do wish era of the biff would stop quoting it though as I then have to read it's drivel.
