To wolves.

Very disappointing 

 

I feel literally sick because I felt this lad could have had a few decent seasons for Notts, yet the clubs rushed to sell him and now the fee we received won't be anywhere near what the club could have gotten if they hung onto him.

I felt it would happen but not this soon, I am surprised Leicester City didn't snap him up after his appearance in the friendly game.

By all accounts he was an exceptional talent, I feel cheated that I didn’t get the chance to see him play in the first team for an extended period.

Why didn’t we hang on for at least a season surely his value could only increase?

I'm struggling to put into words how I feel.

There's a lot of disappointment going through my mind, yet I am excited for Donga He - he seemed to have a bright future and I do hope for the best for him. I just feel Notts have been very quick to market the lad, now we know why there was such a rush to field some of the youngsters. He told me and @Magic magpie that he had signed a professional deal and had been told he would fit into the first team plans.

@super_pie and his friend Callum really took to him.

I hope it's the decision for both parties, I would be annoyed if Wolves wasted his career and stopped his pathway into the first-team.

FFS Notts he looked a real gem, the type you build a team around in the future.

Sold to Wolves academy, the clubs a joke.

I was looking forward to seeing him burst into the first team, he looked a great prospect in pre-season. I would have thought he was worth more to Notts now, then he would be to Wolves. The club could have had a player that may have inspired more youngsters to lift their ability, it would have looked good for the academy and it seems like the club has rushed to market him.

I'm very disappointed.

Wow, I feel shocked.

Alan Hardy has been quick to tag the deal as a "brilliant opportunity" and it is, although the way bigger clubs chew up only to spit young players out is a bit of a downer. I wouldn't fancy writing Donga He off, he looks a talent for sure. I just feel that it doesn't give any sort of "pathway" to the younger players, if anything it shows we are just in the market of selling them without improving as a club.

The academy doesn't look that well ran when you see all the good prospects sold and then this happens.

Does Alan Hardy understand how passionate we are about having produced our own players that are capable of playing first team football?

This is like cutting off your leg in order to save your arm, it makes no sense. I would have hung onto him and denied his request that he allegedly put in when Wolves put the offer in. Extremely disappointing!

I've explained on Messenger after I noticed, I went to edit the post so that I could use a custom meta image for the social media cards but it just reverted the poster instead.

Sorry!

I'm so annoyed. We want to develop young talent to help us grow and to help us move up the football pyramid further , yet we sell when the first bid comes in.

No problem, don’t want you stealing my thunder, not often I get in first with news. ????

didn't see the messenger post.

Huge mistake by the club.

I see Alan Hardy has explained a lot of it on Twitter, I don't know, it reads like justification more than it comes across as the reason. I am sure the club could have retained him and kept the interest there. Opportunity lost I feel by Notts.
