Good luck to done!. A cracking lad who always gave 100%. Never quite lived up to expectations though for me?. I M O.
 



"Done and Dusted"

Put a shift in when others didn't. Scored some vital goals when he first signed. Messed about by managers and ultimately not good enough for this league. Good luck to him.
 
Sounds like a Done deal to me.

Good luck Matty, always respect your great attitude and appreciate the high work rate.

A tad disappointing that we've not collected even a nominal fee for him, as I thought he was worth more than the sort of exit we handed to the likes of James Wallace. Good luck to him – he played an important role in getting us out of League 1, but clearly wouldn't have been much use to us at this level.
 
Decent player on his day but a lack of goals cost him his place last season. Good luck to the lad.
 
Desperation buy on the last day or so of the JTW. Clough was panicking, overspent on Brayford and overspent on Done after missing out on O'Grady. Not Done's fault, he was a successful striker with Rochdale for a few months after a career as a journeyman winger. Then he arrives at our much bigger club and scored some unusual goals for a while but inevitably fizzled out despite doing his best at all times.

He played at full back and at wing back but never as an out and out winger as we never played one. Not the lad's fault, it was the manager's panic buy in a season which was going wrong. We probably paid around £750k for a journeyman winger worth about £150k, if that.

Done would have been so much more effective and happy at the Dale, but he had to have a go with us and has banked a few more bob along the way.
 



like everyone on here i wish Matty Done all the best at Rochdale & couldnt wish him anymore good luck. because he in Monty way you couldnt ask anymore from him as you knew him on the teamsheet you were guaranteed 100% effort & commitment. where he run himself into the ground whether he played once a week or sat tue sat & wherever he was played upfront on the wing. or stupidly at LB

that all you want from a player win or lose. really sad to see him leave but thats what happens when you progress up the league
 
Good luck to him, I always liked him. In a season where Clough brought him in and for a period he enjoyed briefly being the main man, he bagged a few crucial goals and looked lively. He had that poachers instinct about him which made me think he could always scramble a goal home some how. Then disjointed runs in the side, playing a variety of positions put paid to that and down the pecking order he went. Its a shame as he's always come across as a selfless, well liked member of the squad. But, he deserves to be playing more as the lad works as hard as anyone has in a United shirt and with 11 giving his effort each week we'd have been out of L1 before now. Hopefully he can go there to be their main man and bag a few more.

Lively, pacey and good at improvising a finish as this video shows. With a run in a side he'll get that confidence back:

So many goals he never quite made a clean contact with.

I always liked Done, he did well partnering Sharp last season without scoring, he dragged players away with his pace and tenacity, however the fact he wasn't scoring was always going to work against him as a striker.

Not good enough for Championship football but good luck to him back at Rochdale, hopefully the free transfer will have allowed him to negotiate a decent contract.
 
Goodbye Matty Done. You were a personal favourite of mine and I enjoyed the hard work and endeavour you always gave us. I'm sorry that you won't be with us this season but unfortunately, you don't fit into the team we want to be. I am sure uou will be successful wherever you finally end up. GLTTL.

You are right and I'll sum it up - "Rochdale had our pants down x 4"

UTB
 
Probably means another's striker in before the Boro game then?
 



A likeable player. Often played in the wrong position but always gave 100%. Good luck in the future
