Sheff Wed at home under Stale he was absolutely brilliant and I thought we'd got the real Foley back. Trap definitely messed with his head with the Euro 2012 stuff but his form had long since fallen through the floor with us by then.
I thought Ken would like him as he is such a naturally tidy footballer but it wasn't to be. However for £700k or so he was great business and a cracking pro. Noticeable that he was never outwardly ostracised by KJ like the obvious Johnson/JOH and later Doyle/Ward, he just said he was behind a number of players in the pecking order.
His goal v Swindon last season was a great one (inc the ball from Siggy).
He was certainly still part of the group, unlike Johnson etc as he was taking part in the Corparate stuff with the 1st team at the end of the season. In the end it looks like KJ decided the likes of EEL and Iorfa were better placed. Long term for the club, the best idea but amazed only Blackpool took a punt on Foley.
