3 days until the season starts. Maybe he didnt get as many good offers as he thought he would when he decided to reject our offer.
He looks to have plummeted down the leagues.

Should of stayed here and led the back 4... Was solid in the playoffs, was a bit of a good merchant but a great defender. Was reported he was going on to bigger things in league one... Clearly didn't get any offers and now ended up in the conference

County fans giving it large, thinking it has peed Stags fans off because he didn’t re sign for us.

He would have been good signing for us, make no mistake about it, but can’t fault any player for not wanting to be sat on bench. Having said that he could have easily played at League One, never mind League Two.

He thought he could get a better deal elsewhere, he couldn't, so he's ended up there. Simple as that.

Good signing for them. I just hope hes now earning less than we offered him. The grass isn't always greener. That said I'd sooner be playing than warming the bench somewhere. Hes no better than the 3 we already have.

Its possible he did not like the club set up and might have stayed if we had gone up but who knows.
We move on!!
Agree this would have been a good signing for us although possible injury prone at this stage of his career.

Surprised County can splash the cash as guess he would be on high wage there.

We offered him a good deal, he tried to be greedy, then was expected to sign for a team in the SPL for whatever reason that fell through, now with the season almost upon us he's ended up with a Non League team ! Simple really.

The media are reporting that he refused our contact and.signed for county as if he snubbed us so he could sign for county. They were about 3 months apart.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

Any County fan who witnessed his pathetic display at Mardy Lane last season will be dreading his debut.

He had a couple of good games in the playoffs for us but I still think his best days are well behind him. I doubt he will have the fitness levels to stay injury free for a full season and think he may well be out by October/November. He won't be cheap to be on the treatment table.
