Was it not Dave Jones who did not want to sell him. If that is so then ask him.

At the time a large munber of us, most likely most of us, would have accepted that. If I recall right but the figure of £2 million was being bounded about. So if he went for £4 million we would have all been delighted.

It's a double edged sword, let him go and we lose the player, keep him and we lose the players desire to stay at the club and it shows in Jays case with his drop in form...

If it is true and he was prevented from going, I would be doing everything now to show exactly what will be missed next season after he leaves, rather than sulking and going through the motions, it may even increase the potential to attract a better club ( no disrespect to Fulham) to want to sign Jay up.....next time.

or another way of looking at it is jay wins an england cap and is on top of the world and in january nobody makes a serious bid for him.
how do you think that would affect his confidence
