We didn't lose Gamble to Bruneii, we lost him and then he went. He had a huge falling out with Taylor towards the end and told him he was leaving so didn't want to talk about contracts. He's been one that really should have been a priority to replace and Duggan is decent, but he's left on his own in the middle so trying to do too much. If we had kept O'Leary then Duggan could have been left to focus on his own job. When we left Bradley go, we should have made O'Leary a priority, but we messed up his situation.

Well thats not true anyway.

Gamble's twitter updates at the time suggest there is more truth to it than you might know. It was his decision instead of the clubs.

Bradley was crap last season. He didn't try a leg and, as a result, his quality was wholly and utterly irrelevant. I'm not saying Hughes is the second coming of Roy Keane but he's not the problem in our starting eleven at the moment.
