Was my pick for our best signing after our pre-season, and a bit miffed to see him go to be honest - though strangely not that sad. Can only expect Wrexham offered good money.
Although he missed a reasonable chunk of the season, he was still part of a defensive unit which has contributed to us having amongst the worst clean sheet and goals conceded record in the league.
So who knows how missed he will be - I prefer to never judge these things in isolation.
This has to be up there with the most WTF player sale I can ever think of. I don’t think he is particularly anything special, but he’s probably our best centreback and we have an extremely thin squad. I can only hope that the Methven takeover has gone tits up and Thomas is trying to fund losses until varneys lot, or someone else serious, pick up the tab, as if this has come from the new owners we are royally fucked
So let’s see. Wrexham are on the up, massive feel good factor, a couple of owners who are popular and genuine bazilluonaires (well Reynolds at least). We are a shitshow. The offer is almost certainly for substantially more money. What the f… would you do if you were O’Connell?
I don’t actually think he was much good a bit too slow and not dominant in the air so I don’t think letting him go is a problem- whether the combination of Lavelle and Hector competing for that position is any better who knows ?
The most obvious indication that TS is trying to eke out every few quid he can save now - probably our best centre back out to a conference side for a few quid to be replaced by a short term freebie.
This will take some explaining and nobody has come up with a good one yet. He‘s one of our few players on a contract. You dont just let him go because a pretentious non-league outfit waves a few more bob at his agent. And not when you still have Lavelle and Thomas in the squad and have brought in yet another player whose fitness is clearly questionable.
By far our best and most consistent CB this season, and I don't see how you can put a positive spin on this, even if Wrexham are chucking money around. He was under contract, has not been treated badly by the club, and presumably was on better money than previously at Rochdale
Just over two hours to go, who's next ? I dread to think.CAFCsayer said:

Yann ? Totally agree with rest of your post especially the last line.

Hood luck EOC you are better off out of this shitshow
Less than a month ago we had people trying to calculate top 6 points needed. Now we're selling first-teamers to non-league.
Oh well, we've got the man who hasn't played all season to take his place for the time being.
And the 3 billionaires who are lined up to buy us tomorrow have obviously got their eyes on bigger and better players.
He’s dead to me.
If he was our best centre back he'd be straight back in the team post injury but he hasn't been
Depressing, again.
