Yes we did have a sell on clause Barns, so Yellow is not the only one

He regularly posted on his Facebook page (the one he deleted when he left TUFC) that he had problems with his knees and ankles and regularly said that his body was shot after almost each and every game. He had the potential for great things but in my opinion was somewhat of a lazy player and a member of the 'He's great on his day' club - only trouble was, his day didn't come very often. I never really felt he loved/enjoyed playing for Torquay and after the despatch of his closest team mate Tyrone Thompson, it was apparent that this was probably the only thing keeping him here - he seemed to consider himself a bit of the gangster type to, never really hit it off with the other players - something that is more apparent with the existing squad this season. They regularly socialise with each other and have become really good friends - part of the reason I believe Stanley and Branston want to be here.

I do.

I thought we had a sell on clause. If so TUFC have a vested interest in a good transfer fee being received for a player that lit up the tail end of last season, and that Bucks wanted to keep (allegedly).

well thats one person then yellow.

the only good thing would be if we had a sell on clause!!

couldnt wait to leave as a few have already said.

thought he was too good for (little old) TUFC.

good riddance i say.

i've heard they are trying to sign Donaldson from Crewe. i truly hate them, can't wait for their bubble to burst.

Crawley anyone?

Agree HRG.

Showed his true colours by jumping at the chance to join Lincoln City. Terrible terrible move as said at the time and now he's in limbo.

Bring him back? No thanks.
He didn't want to be here in the first place and now he's injury prone. He thought he could do better. Now it's the other way around.

I heard we were looking to bring him back during the January window... I Don't think much of him myself.

I follow Lincoln as all my friends support them and he's just had an awful season in regards to injury, perhaps if he doesn't sell he can get some geography lessons whilst in the BSP, Lincoln close to London ring any bells?

lets face it, if he was to come back great but apart from that who gives a s*it who he plays for??

I do.

His problem with them is,muzzy has been nothing far short of a complete sick note,been injured on and off all season,for us just inconsistant.

Saying this, i'd still take Muzzy back, and O'Keefe while your there!

To be fair to Muzzy, I think he was a little bit duped by Chris Sutton's reputation and ambition. I remember Sutton being very confident about the quality in at Lincoln at the start of the season but perhaps he needed to be more confident of his managerial abilities. I really doubt Carayol would have left if he didnt genuinely think Lincoln would be a better move for him. With the benefit of hindsight, I'm sure he would've kept his trap shut and signed the new contract.

He had the potential to be a great player, but he only started to play well when he could see the exit sign.

Doubt he'd be much use back here until the final few weeks of his contract so he could bugger off again to a "bigger" club.

Now now children, let's not fight among ourselves.

Matt.
