If you had been told two weeks ago that you could only keep two out of Addy, Donno and O'Brien - which two would you have gone for?
Who knows, he may not have been offered a contract. I have stood along side many supporters who talk about his tackling but very little else. We are entering a period of change. I think some players will and should move on. It was them and the poor coaching that let in 50+ points on occasions. Time for some fresh faces. Jimmy will keep some but bring in his own choices. I wouldn't want to see every player retained and none brought in.
The question at the top of your post is somewhat irrelevant, to be fair, as that scenario [to the best of my knowledge] never existed. Whilst it's fair comment, and no doubt true , to say that some will come and some will leave, to lose someone who is, despite your valuation, apparently worth a SL contract, is disappointing. To be honest, I'd suspect it wasn't the club's decision, and I wouldn't blame him at all for taking the best offer on the table.
When the recruiting is done and all the ins and outs have come and gone, we'll have better idea of how things are panning out.
