Totally agree, Vic. I’m sure there will Albion fans who will gloat at this outcome (not on this board I should quickly add) but I feel desperately sorry for the guy. Hopefully he can turn his career around with a few seasons injury free; if we were to sell Furlong - as some speculation suggests - should we consider bringing him back, assuming he’s now fit and healthy?

There is no doubt he is an excellent prospect, but I don't think I would want him back, he has already demonstrated when the bright lights call, he will be gone. But more importantly would you sign Dike knowing what you know now about how prone he is to injury ? I think Fergusson has played even less than Dike and what does it say when your club gives a 33 year old a new contract in your position and releases you?
