Fair play to him, if he's happy there but just wanted a bit more dough then I don't blame him one bit for staying put once they matched our terms.
I hope that our response to this apparent setback is not to just go down the list of free agent right backs with PL experience (KWP, Coufal etc.) as that does not do the position of most concern in our squad justice. We have
Jake O'Brien who can play right back semi-competently and that's it, and to be honest I'd much rather see him get given an extended run alongside
Branthwaite once the season starts.
This is the priority position in our squad and are transfer business should reflect that.
