Crawley have been net benefactors from Notts... Enzio, Kewell, Milsom . I didnt expect Enzio to be with us but perhaps his salary package has put EFL clubs off...

We just need him to contribute more, as i have been disappointed with his recent performances

If you learn something from every game, there shall come a point in time, when you should never lose... Jimmy Sirrel

If I am perfectly honest, I have been disappointed for the most part of the season with Enzio Boldewijn.

I don't think the club will get their money back.

It's down to Neal Ardley to get the best out of him, if we can get back to League Two I think he would prefer better. I have a feeling the smaller grounds, lack of fans and standard of the division has Enzio not wanting it.

He might be blaming himself for the clubs relegation too, something other than his form is going on.

To be fair, he did okay last season and became an escape goat by some fans who singled him out for not defending.

I feel he almost kept us up, with some of his goals we could have been doomed. I feel he played some of his best performances under Harry Kewell, those back to back wins Notts racked up largely came from Enzio playing at his best.

Yes, it's an annoying subject and he could do better.

I think this mostly falls on Neal Ardley's shoulders, he needs to be a bit more hands on with Enzio. Explain what he wants to see, put his arm around him and praise him for the good bits. His confidence seems shot, but to answer the question there's no way the money can be made back.

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

I don't think Notts will get any money for Enzio back, I can see he end up on free or being mutually released so he can go somewhere.

I would hope he succeeds here, but he has been very poor this season.

No chance at all. If you want a figure fee for a player at this level he needs to be an absolute star performer, someone with exceptional potential. Enzio is a winger who blows hot and cold, and to be honest they're ten a penny. He's probably also on wages that would be prohibitive for most if not all League Two clubs, and would be too much of a risk for League One. There's the possibility of a bankrolled National League club with more money than sense coming in for him (I'm thinking a certain suburb of Blackpool), but would we sell him to a rival?

In any case we could probably forget a fee. If he went on a free transfer we'd save a tidy amount on wages freed up, but I can't see it happening till the summer. Until then, we just need to get the best out of him, but that's easier aid than done. Maybe a bit more competition for his spot in the team will help now.

No, there won't be any return for Notts for him. He's nearing the wrong age and his career hasn't been the best since arriving here, a great player on his day. Issue is this isn't often enough.

This season he really hasnt been great. Hes ok but doesnt stand out anymore. Its kinda like hes not trying this season.

I wished Neal Ardley would man-manage players like Enzio, he's clearly a good player who's form has disappeared. It's players like this managers tend to get the best out of, if they give a bit extra too.

Take him out for a game or two and see how the team does with another player in his place, also see if he comes back with more fight after losing is place in the squad.
