“He made a decision in the summer, and I think it was his decision to leave. “Coming through the youth teams, playing for his club from the city that he was born in, it obviously hurts to see him leave, but I don't think he deserves anything else than a hero's reception.

“I know people said he shouldn't have gone on a free, but it's business as much as it's football. He's done wonderful things for the club, he’s been a brilliant player.
