Some genuinely disappointment from lots of their fans that he is going. Presume they offered him something but he wanted more. Maybe the wages are very sensible but 3 years security sealed it.
Doesn’t need to play 38 games. If Tarks and JB are in form, then we will def need to keep O’Brien ticking over.
He is a very good 1v1, committed defender. If we are delaying signing a more youthful attacking RB this summer til other holes have been filled, hopefully it means we will get a selfish, tricky and speedy RW that doesn’t have to run 75km a week covering in defence, rather than another “hard worker”.
