I think financially, Allan’s Everton exit will be a good bit of business by the club. When the transfer window closed here we were looking around the squad thinking ‘who else could we have moved on?’
Allan was one of them. He did ok for us and I liked him at times, he was willing to put his foot in and work hard, which is good, but ultimately he’s not on Frank’s radar now.
He was seventh choice central midfielder given that there were three starters and three substitutes in his position in the matchday squad last time out ahead of him yet still on large wages and we can’t afford to have players on those sums of money who are not even in the squad. Saving eight or nine months of those wages is going to help the club in the long-run while it also helps the player as he’s going to play football now and have a smile on his face.
