Can I firstly point out that, "We want Abdallah out," doesn't work, whereas Lemmy fits perfectly?
Can't blame players who've been told that a professional English club thinks they've got something about them and is offering them a chance. Also can't blame them if the contract is for far more than they would come for. If Lemmy left tomorrow we'd have the same squad, and we'll need some very average players to give it everything if we're going to stay up.
