    Thought he was pretty terrible for us and am astonished by how well he's done for Bournemouth. Fair play to him.

    Grabban won their Fans Player of the Season award

    Always thought Francis had ability but he was a fragile in confidence player and he wasn't in the right place mentally when with us

    Couple of nice goals for Yann yesterday and nearly scored with a cheeky chip
  • Bournemouth play an expansive attacking game that makes the most of Francis's strengths; bombing forward and delivering a good cross.
    They gamble on outscoring the opposition, which does leave them open sometimes.
    If he came back to us I am sure a great many would still focus on his defensive deficiencies and the toxic retards scattered around our stands would soon destroy his confidence again

    Thought Francis was ok for the most part. Our bigger problem back then was finding a central midfield combination that worked (Racon and/or McCormack weren't the answer).

    Blimey, half of his interview is talking about us.

    "Get over us Simon, we've moved on" ;-)

    I'd choose Solly over Francis every time!
