    Sad to see him released but money talks.
    Thanks Igor for the moments in the final games and those two goals away to Brighton. Good luck to you and your family.

    It's been an absolute pleasure to wear the #cafc jersey. Unfortunately it has come to an end. We've had some good and bad moments but we finished on a high. Thanks for your incredible support these last years and… https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGIxndBaRG/?igshid=1035bmgiw1tg …

    Correct choice. Even when he got a chance this season he didn't make the three most important games we've had in years because he got injured outside of a match. As much as I have loved watching him when he's played, he just can't stay fit enough to be relied upon. Sorry Igor

    Sadly it's probably best for all concerned. Hi last few games for us showed that when match fit and motivated he still has something to offer even at Championship level, but also we can see the physical fragility is not behind him yet either.

    If he was going to stay it was as a 5th striker on significantly reduced wages. Not to say he would necessarily be 5th choice as if fit, but you wouldn't want to be banking on him actualy being fit.

    A sad end, but at least he got to make a contribution in the run in.

    Good luck Igor.

    Shame to see him go but understandable given the twin negatives of high wages and excessive injuries.

    Injury issues are too much of a risk. He has to take a massive pay cut somewhere and show he is over them. Probably back in Belgium.
    Apart from the fact his injury issues were largely down to mis-management by the club.
    Yet he was missing at 3 stages this season despite the fact that he was never rushed back, he's brittle.

    Has just signed to play for Bob Peeters at Westerlo in the Belgian second tier. Probably took a massive paycut but I remember him saying Peeters wws a big part of why he joined us. Good luck to him. Think we could have done far worse than offering him a one year deal. I would hope we pay better than Westerlo, but then again...

    I have to agree with this. 

    I think he could have offered us something different.

    There was a very fine player in there.......unfortunately, apart from a very few games that is, we never got the pleasure of witnessing it.
    A shame really.

    had a great game against Luton when we stopped their unbeaten run, but probably wasn't the player he was. I wonder what they are paying him compared to what we are now paying.

    Two bob Mickey Mouse Belgian second tier and home capacity of 8000. Shame about his injuries. I wonder if he would have stayed for two and a half per week?

    A waste of money though as you'd be lucky to get 15 decent games a season out of him

    If we had any slack in the budget I suspect we’d have gambled on giving Igor a deal as a 5th striker based on his potential ability but also unreliability injury wise. It seems Igor would’ve taken a pay cut, and I suspect he’d have stayed in London. 

    With money so tight though he just wasn’t an option sadly.

    Decent player but not worth the risk at any level when running a thin squad.  Not only injury prone but takes a couple of games to get into his stride and generally then gets injured immediately he gets there.

    Didnt realise that Bob Peeters was still in Management (i.e. in a job)

    Good luck to Igor, no surprise he's gone back to Belgium
