What's the point in contracts? He signed a 3-year deal and he should honour that. I, like other Bulls fans, like Sam, he's a class act and being home-grown I tend to favour him over other players. Now if he really wants to go then let him. I only want players at the club who are willing to put blood sweat and tears into turning things around. − otleybull, otley

I think the right back position definitely needs a pacy player with the ability to get forward on overlaps and get in crosses, along with the ability to pick out players whilst under pressure. Unfortunately, Arnie, for me, hasn't got that ability. I hope things work out for him and he finds a club that can use him. City of course would benefit from the saving of his wages. − lonnie, Bradford
