CONFIRMED Diego departs

[metty]

I see the boy wonder has finally decided to call it a day.

 

[ziggy4001]

Has he landed his dream move to Juve?

More chance with Fray Bentos than Juventus.

Pity he never kicked on... Looked a real talent for a while and was looking more or less ready before his injury... But just hasn't done enough to deserve a look in since in my humble opinion.

He has to do something soon or he's destined to be a Fancy Dan non-leaguer, wondering what could have been. Which would be a great waste.

Might get a go at Ches.

 

[VLYDONIMIR]

El Tel from SMW will be rubbing his hands...

Cya!

 

[From the pig end]

He's not actualy found anywhere either as yet.

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Interesting that we have cancelled his contract so no compo if he finds a club

Who is going to argue the toss on 3 and 6 . Compo will be fuck all , it would cost more in solicitors fees.

 

[INTERUNITED]

Great business by Juve, sell Pogba for €100 million euros and get his replacement for free!!

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Best of luck Diego, I am sure it won't take you long to get fixed up at a club that might appreciate your talents.

 

[Ricky]

What an almighty shame, and what a waste.

He looked more talented than anything our academy's produced, and very different. Then injury fucked him and he never got a chance. We would've at least got good money for him at one stage. How typical of us to produce a rare, exciting type of player and never get to see anything of him.

There must be a reason he didn't get a chance when fit under different managers, but that doesn't take away from the sense of what might have been.

Are you being serious,he has nobody to blame but himself,4 different managers have failed to appreciate his talent,were they all wrong ?

 

[Esablade]

Another epic saga over...hope he learns some lessons from this and manages to carve out a pro career somewhere...

 

[blade too long]

talent , needs hard work to flourish
otherwise its totally wasted
this being a prime example

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Best of luck to him. He's the only one of the transfer listed shitheads that I feel any sort of pang over.

In saying that, the abiding memory is of him whining about being played "out of position" on the left when he was given an opportunity in a cup tie, rather than relishing the opportunity to stake a claim. What a wasted talent!

 

[Leonardo Green]

If he was called Paul Smith he would have been gone a long time ago.

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Shame Clough messed him about so much with his loan spell(s) at York, he started well, but getting recalled then sent back killed his progress as they stopped playing him through the middle. His failed Northampton spell meant he had no chance here with Wilder, but still a bit disappointing that Adkins didn't give him an odd game for the first team after he started scoring again towards the end of last season.

[VLYDONIMIR]

Shouldn't it have been D'Ego by all accounts?

 

[Teddy]

Sorry- potentially me just being thick.

If he was transfer listed, not released, then that means he was under contract. So his contract has now been terminated, does that mean we've paid up his contract? Or was there some sort of termination clause?

 

[sheffielder]

If he was called Paul Smith he would have been gone a long time ago.

If he was called Paul smith people might have given him a chance

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

If he was called Paul smith people might have given him a chance

He would have signed for Nottingham .

I wonder if he'd have got injured and had a set back with a name like that.

 

[Kev Gee]

He had talent thats for sure.

Then the injury really set him back.

However 3 sucessive managers have decided not to make him part of the squad.
There must be a reason for this.

He "agreed to a termination of his contract" and the remaining year may have been worth 52x £3k, more?

He wouldn't agree to anything for nothing and will have taken at least half that amount, probably more. Why should he take less?

He's a free agent now but unless he has something sorted his job prospects are at risk. After a pay-off he can accept a small wage to get his career back on track.

We save the balance.

He got a very good prolonged chance at Northampton. He flopped. United are not to blame. Successive managers are not to blame. Injury apart, the young man is entirely responsible for his own downfall, aided and abetted by his daft dad.

The compo was probably the reason no one has come in for him.As that doasnt apply now he will probably get a club, my bet is Cheshire.Hope it dunt come back and bite us on the arse.
