How often do we call for old players to return and they don’t!? I bet this will be the one we don’t want but he turns up as a new signing to to surprise us!0

I’ve heard he’s been signed by Bromley tip0

There have been a number of players we signed like Kirk that have come with promise and fail to deliver. We also spent money on him was it 500,000? Losing his dad when he did clearly affected the poor bloke. I wish him all the best but he didn’t work out for us.14

He was a decent signing at the time a he was playing so well.
Unfortunately the death of his father really affected him I think and to go from being a big fish in a small pond to a squad player with a lot of hype, in an area he was completely unfamiliar with was all just too much. Throw in the turmoil at the club and you have a perfect storm.
No idea what happens next in fairness - he won't last 5 minutes in the national league before getting snapped in half by some clogger. Best bet is somewhere like Notts County in L2 where he'll be surrounded by tip-tap Charlie's. Failing that somewhere like Gateshead with the way they play
I think it was too much too young for him coming to us. Literally a small town boy living in a lonely world10 -

Is that what you thought when we signed him? Can't see you having expressed doubts about him then. It's easy to say that with the benefit of hindsight.Redhenry said:

These are all valid points but don't explain why he was terrible when he went back to Crewe?Swisdom said:He was a decent signing at the time a he was playing so well.

Back in familiar surroundings at a club he knew well, probably has a lot of mates on and off the pitch, you'd expect him to be more comfortable and perform well. Yet he was actually probably even worse for them than he was for us.0 -
Because he wasn't the same player they'd sold anymore, like Poyet coming back to us.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Form, motivation, confidence, muscle memory if you've not been playing much....5 -
If the rest of his career is not a success it poo poos the comments about his outside problems affecting things on the pitch at Charlton.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Perhaps he thought he made it by signing a much improved contract and his attitude changed.0 -
Surprisingly he’s signed for an EFL club - L2 Barrow.

Honestly I wish him well , it didn't work out for him with us and by all accounts was out of sorts at Crewe when he went back there so I hope he can produce for Barrow.21

Screams of last chance in the EFL before he inevitably ends up as a non-league player5

We will get them in a cup and he will score against us.

Now released by Barrow.

Surely that's the end for him now as a professional.2 -
Could see him getting a professional contract in the National League still - will be seen as a recent L1/L2 player, still only 27 etc.1

Could do with dropping to a level or team where he’s the best player, get some confidence back in his gameNorth Lower Neil said:Could see him getting a professional contract in the National League still - will be seen as a recent L1/L2 player, still only 27 etc.0 -
Really sad to see, I hope he finds a way back but his career continues to decline5
