I would love to be proven wrong but I think it's a good deal for us I agree for what it’s worth. Apart from that 1 season he was decent/ok. I think most of the good feeling towards him from fans is for the man himself rather than what he did on the pitch these last couple of seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is exciting too, with his pace and at times directness but I think that's another reason why I think it's a good deal, he's just not had that same spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikerman 1,387 2.4k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Good luck Jonesy and welcome back Crooksy, two players who have served us well and been model professionals, I wish you well with your new clubs 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig 2,040 4k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Sad to see Jones go as we had some great moments from him but the reality is that his football has been below a par of where we are aiming for. For me, I’ll remember him best under Wilder with Dijksteel and Crooks, but in carricks football I’m not sure he has the skill set for what we need. But , a nice guy who’s still in the game and after his personal battles I wish him nothing but success 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMartin 1,386 1.1k Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I am gutted he has gone, I think it is a little cheap at £3M up front plus add ons to £5M. I think this is a case of Boro, and Gibson in particular, doing the right thing for Izzy personally and allowing him to move South for his career and more importantly, to be nearer family and his personal well-being. I wish him well and hope he enjoys his time at Luton under their next manager, he deserves a good send off applause when or if he returns. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it about fair price and the add ons hopefully achievable by playing for a few years. If so then it's more than fair for me. Be a sell on as well I bet. Is on most deals these days Think club did right thing by him, especially after he signed an extension towards the end of last season, I imagine what he was sold to sign back on never matched up with what materialised, I would of been gutted signing on and then they put doak in front of you. I'd understand he was a loan you can't miss at this level but I'd of probs got a bit down about it. Been a great buy for us and completely exceeded and expectations anyone must of had from when he signed for us from non league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we beat Utd in the cup he was outstanding - if he had continued that form there was talk of him being a 15 - 20 mil player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he won a few in his first full season as well, not to mention put a few crosses in that ended up as own goals that also don't get counted.
