That’s rather unfair.
Funny how it's only ever footballers who have made incredibly underwhelming impressions that have to leave because they're homesick.
Let's face it, he's going not because he misses home, he's going because he's not worked out on the pitch
Calm down superfan :icon_lol: I can quite imagine how it felt, thanks. Believe it or not there were people not actually there that still have the gall to be happy when we score.
But it doesn't alter the fact that he's been, well, a bit shit.

It's fucking hard living abroad even when you do speak the language, I can't stress this enough. I moved when I was 20, Patrick is about the same. All you've ever known is home. It's harsh, man. It's a massive culture shock.
Now I got to go to pubs, clubs, cafes, whatever, do what I want outside of work. And I was already a fluent German speaker. Because who gives a fuck how fit a teacher is. Signor Cutrone can't go down the boozer can he. He's probably stuck in his Tettenhall flat watching TV he doesn't understand.
I'm not going to blame the guy one iota if he wants to go back. It's tough.
People overlook the human side sometimes, "oh he earns £50k a week, how can he find it hard". It doesn't work like that.

The Cutrone move's apparently hit the buffers, and he's now back in Compton.
Newcastle and Ajax being linked with Ryan Babel. Think I said it in the summer but wouldn't mind him here on a short-term deal - going to be hard to get a quality striker in during this window. He did surprisingly well at Fulham, can play on the left-wing and would give us an option if we ever wanted to go back to 3-5-2.
