He's turned down a new contract there, in very much the same stye he did here. He's a very good player but you think in this economy players would want to stay put and ply their trade. |  |

Clive has been stating this for quite a long time.
He is still in the Swansea side though. |  | | |

Well, he's so good, he was able to step up from us, to Swansea. Gosh.
He's still so good, I can see a big money move to Bolton in the offing. |  | | |

2nd in the stats chances for chances created, which, if you believe those sorts of stats (and I don't) makes him very marketable for a player of his age, playing predominantly as a WB for a mid-table side. | | | |

Yup I posted about this a few days back when people were moaning about the clubs failure with Manning and BOS and signing them up on contracts, it's not the clubs fault all the power is with the player and the agent and if an agent is continually saying I can get you a better deal then money talks, there's zero loyalty, yeah I know it works both ways.
So I picked it up when I read an article stating that Russel Martin saying we have made him a good offer but he's not signing, sounds familiar to me.... | | | |

Got to say I have zero issues with a player working the length of his contract. A bizarre world where players get criticised for that. |  |

Manning is the perfect signing for a relegated Prem club.
Pick up a free agent with a high chance creation count, knows the division and makes the dodgy prem accounts look prudent when you sell off your prem stars. An easy squad addition choice for some rich ex-Prem club.
For Manning, he sneaks into a team that could bounce straight back so there is an increased chance of playing in the prem, more monies, increased likelihood of playing for Ireland as international managers like picking prem or near prem players. Win Win.
So, why don't all players do this? Well Manning has something they don't. He has great fitness levels, its been well documented that he's super fit and in great condition. So he can take the risk. Most players, as we can see, don't do that. |  |

True but then if that's the case nobody should be coming on here moaning we didn't sign them up with another contract, continual castigation of Sir Les for not signing up Manning on another contract when he just wasn't interested because he knew he could get a better deal by leaving. | | | |

Thing is none of us no behind the scenes what went on maybe the player was mucked about by the club always 2 sides to the story I’ve heard for instance he never wanted to Leave just wanted parity with other players | |

Exactly nobody knows just rumours, whispers and wild guesses, yes he shouldn't have been loaned out but that probably wasn't the reason he didn't sign. | | | |

And Manning has what none of our squad currently possess...
I think the latest word for it is...street-smarts | | | |

Bigger question if he is still in the starting 11 is he playing to his full potential or just avoiding tackles and playing out the string.
I suspect he will not down tools like a few of our duds because I think he is a model Pro despite his gamesmanship and the way it ended here for him .
He is desperate for a ROI call up with monster games coming up so thats one reason he is still producing |  | | |

QPR have 99 problems but left-back ain't one. With Paal at the club, there are more pressing areas of the pitch to address. |  | | |

...and a natural left footer who appears comfortable whatever position he's playing in. Though I recognize his talents, a good football brain is one of them, for some reason or other he didn't win me over, and I don't know why.
Anyway, his relation who works for me, informs us he's a likable chap with a good sense of humour, keen on signing for a Prem team. | |

Step up from us to reserve left back, behind Bidwell at Swansea.
It was 12 months or more before he was first choice! | | | |

To be honest I don't think that was part of the conversation, it was more that he has refused to sign another contract, we have Paal and we all rate him, we need a first choice right back as a priority. | | | |

Did it really take Swansea that long to realise that Bidwell was an over paid dud and move him on?
What would we do now for an attacking full-back, 2nd for chances created in the whole league, who can run for 90 minutes, put his foot in and run the clock down when we're on the ropes heh? | | | |

BBC saying he cost Swansea £250,000. I thought he went for there for nothing. | | | |
