    Wonder what will happen now...flights to Qatar suspended...long way to drive...
    He already signed for them.

    Article here - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c5yvlvnng24o

    Says a deal with us was basically done until his Jamaica team mate talked him into signing a short team deal out there.
    TC?
    It said in the article who it was!
    yeah it was a joke

    Antonio is a higher grade Lyle Taylor with his media and solo love in. 

    Find him very tiring.

    For the record:
    "Antonio says his move to Qatar only came about last Monday following a call from Jamaica team-mate Mason Holgate, who plays for Al-Sailiya."

    Guess he’ll be on the list to get evacuated home now?

    We need to spend time getting minutes into Collins who is going to be on heck of a player, and importantly finding some time for Fullah!

    Well currently he's getting paid to do exactly what he's been doing for the past year.........nothing. The Qatari league is suspended.

    I never saw the point of signing an unfit striker anyway. If he had been super sharp, he wouldn't have been without a club since last summer.

    And finishing has never been our problem. We don't score many goals because we don't create many chances.
    I'm with you mate, the chance of a 35 year old returning from a serious injury, making any kind of impact are slim and none, with slim having left town. Christ the bloke was playing against us in 2011, and debuted for Reading in 2008!! He's got more miles on the clock than the dodgy birds that used to frequent that awful over 30s club opposite Sidcup station!!
    The dodgy birds in there were well over 30.

    Talks about his ego and believing he shouldn’t have to go and train with clubs first, lead to him turning down trial offers.

    I think your take on it is a bit harsh. That WAS his mindset, but he seems to have accepted he needed to change it. Still, I'm glad we didnt sign him and he's gone away.

    If the Qatari league has been suspended, maybe we can get him on a loan.

    Bet they gave him a lump of money to sign there too, easiest payday ever

    Like how he says no one gave him a chance but glosses over us offering him a pay as you play deal

    Pay as you play, a goal against Wrexham in the 2nd half...that's what were in it for.

    Interview in the guardian.  We are not even mentioned as an option. Looks like we dodged a bullet and he was only interested in the pay day

    He mentioned us as an option this morning on Talksport but decided to go to Qatar or wherever it was.

    He’ll probably be Watfords new manager after a couple of games into the season .
