A shame, but good luck to him and at least we have certainty and can free up any budget we had set aside. He gave us one year more than he needed to, and for that I'll always hope he does well. Sure others will feel differently, but there you go.
I suspect he gave us one more year because he was on a lucrative contract. I doubt whether he could get anyone to match it. This year though, he was presumably offered less by us, but more by Charlton. I suspect the reason it dragged on was to get the last dregs out of the previous contract. Then, to negotiate how much Charlton were willing to pay over how long. |

So a reference from a reliable Ayr fan on our latest addition:
So Tomi, he's a bit high maintenance, but 14 goals in 30 games for a team at the wrong end of the table wasn't too bad. Played in a very isolated position for Ayr, not a lot of support most of the time.
Some of the Ayr fans had a go at him when he left, moaning about his workrate, but it comes across as sour grapes to my eyes.
I'm sure he'll do a job for you, but he's not as good as he thinks he is.

Loves the club, allegedly offered more money and still left.

Was disappointed with him in L1 but he was playing in a terrible side. Put heart and soul into his performances last year and seemed like a great character within the squad. Wish him the best in his career after Charlton, but as for them they can do one.

I actually thought Payne was passable in L1, that season was one to forget for pretty much everyone but in a season of shite, I thought Payne did ok. Last season he was class and will be hugely missed. Deserves his crack at L1, huge shame it's not with us but I hope he does well. |

No melt down from me. Was consigned to it. Although if he'd signed for Crawley that really would have pissed me off.
Now don't sell Reed or McKirdy and start stringing some performances together.

5kg causing him to be a bit slower last season or not (having lost/gained double that between 'seasons' when I was playing football regularly myself I am not convinced), he definitely looked sharper in the pre season matches compared to last season. Fingers crossed we get a Di Canio-era gladwin and not the slightly more stationary gladwin we've seen at times. I would say that he is the type of player who never appears to be moving at the greatest speed, which does lead to some detractors, but as an engine he is great. |
