Expected to join Udinese where he was having a medical earlier today

[HankMarvin]

Must have been well shot

[Steve Earle]

Hallelujah.

 

Best wishes Filip, you were awesome against Fleetwood!

[stu]

Didn’t realise he had another 18 months to run on his contract. Best of luck.

[Vazman]

Not aware of the full story, if its personal reasons, we can only wish him all the best in the future.

[Nalis]

Not even a fee...

[Notting your mums forest]

Must be one of our worst purchases of all time I think. £13M and 3.5yrs wages and 2 appearances I think (Wigan fa cup 3rd round a couple years back and Fleetwood in league cup 2018). Ouch!

[Aus Fox]

Wait till Aidrian Durham hears about this…

£13,000,000

67 minutes in the FA Cup. 

27 minutes in the EFL Cup. 
 

That’s about £138,000 per minute for every first team game he played for us.

I'd leave it for a couple of days, if he finds out it may affect his decision making...

Who?

Well sometimes things do not work out. I am curious about the full story, but all the best to Filip.

The Personal reasons might be that he is not happy with not getting a sniff when we basically had no defence.

Even as a sub.

 

looked poor a few years ago for Croatia under 21s.

Didn’t get a sniff at Cardiff or OHL

 

strange one 

[whoareyaaa]

Is he any good?

[foxile5]

A very odd transfer and scenario. 

 

Clearly has some talent but was never going to make the grade here. 

[CosbehFox]

No fee and mutual termination. Moving to a club which is a very short flight back to Croatia. There’s more to this I strongly suspect. I hope him and his family are well

Additional outgoing that we could use on something else

nice little earner 

[FoxinNotts]

Best of luck to the lad. Shame we didn’t see the best of him. Celtic got his best time.

[Stinkenzo]

What's the Adrian Durham/talksport talk all about? 

[fox_up_north]

On one hand, that's sad for him but on the other - if you spend that much money on a player and don't use them more than, say 5 times a season, get rid.
