well, since Hughton became manager, quite a few players 'didn't want to be here' anymore

You can add Pilkington to that list, another decent technical footballer, without the pace and trickery of Redmond, but two decent feet and real end product.

        ... doesn't actually say he wanted to leave, just that his situation was up in the air (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 21:11:58
        
        Do I give a shit? (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 9, 21:12:39

    - They had him last season and signed him up (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 9, 20:24:22
