It's not the end of the world, we had a great player who was going to get niggly fouled out of games. Teams were able to nullify him we saw this in multiple games last season. Sadly there is some sense to this, the timing isn't great but we got a good price for him in terms of FFP.
I wish referees would protect him in which case it would hurt to lose him. I'm pleased for him, he is a lovely lad who deserves to play for a forward thinking club.
