Correct! Else they'd be wanting to keep him.

That's not going to do his confidence much help.
I've a feeling he's going to end up like Rhodes, in some backwater club.
Would have done better by putting his head down and bum up a couple of years ago, rather than being a flash in the pan.

BB is a confidence player, he got that by the team being set up for him. No disrespect whilst we are not as high placed due to a lack f investment we are playing some far better stuff without him.

Good point. Moran is a footballer. Pity he isn't ours.

But if he wasn't any good, nobody else would want him. Especially not the runaway Championship leaders and 2 PL clubs as that article suggests.
Makes some sense. I read yesterday that Iheanacho and Ndidi could be leaving Leicester in the Jan transfer window. Also it's a moot point whether he would choose Burnley or Leicester as it's on the cards that they will be changing places nest season. Either way both supporters will be less than enamored when they see him play.

Like others have pointed out he is a confidence player and I’m sure he will be back banging them in again. He has proved he has the talent and ability in the past.

Anyway if he turned up with his boots on Friday who would you drop to fit him in? Dolan? Nope. Moran? Nope. Szmodics? Def Nope. Wonder what he's like in the nets?

The only reason you still continue to have a bash at Ben is because early on you incorrectly decided he was rubbish without giving him time to develop. It was quite clear to anyone who knows anything about football that he had potential as he displayed in the Forest V Arsenal cup game. When Ben started banging the goals in for fun you went strangely quiet and not once did you grudgingly admit that you were wrong. It is my belief that this refusal to admit you were wrong still drives you to criticise him even when he has left the club! Amazing.

One trick pony, and that's that. Pretty good trick mind but fairly easily stopped.
