[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1113573, member: 73144"] Yep, it seems like a nuts signing. Great on his day, but those aren’t every week and they may also lose him to international commitments. Also very clear that he’d have stayed in France but for the salary drop. Nothing wrong in getting the best deal for yourself of course but his motivation is evident. His falling out with Townsend may just be a personality clash between the 2 men but it’s also a bit of a red flag, particularly for a squad that’s rebuilding and has fragile confidence. And you suspect there may be some salary resentment as he’ll be on serious multiples of what others are on. Mercurial for sure, but really that marquee? [/QUOTE]
