Ibitoye

Is going to be released by Montpellier & consequently will be
clubless at the end of the season. I’m sure he’ll be picked up
by someone quickly as his attacking talent is clear

So is that right two clubs have now let him go with one, really
not happy with him

I would thought French clubs might be hesitant now.
I’d probably take him back, but I don’t like the way he left,
I’m not sure we need him and I’d rather we spent the money
shoring up elsewhere.
Could be a good signing for other Premiership clubs. I could see
him fitting in well at Wasps for example.

Indeed, and the way the French salary system caps squad numbers
will also make it difficult for him to find another Top 14 club,
other than as a ‘medical joker’. To stay in France he may have
to look at the Pro D2.
I would have him back, we are still short a back three player,
more so if Earle leaves as rumoured. But only Gabriel and the
Club know how things lie between them.

There was a story that we were trying to get him back, but he
was not that eager (wanted to stay in France)
Earle is rumoured to be leaving so I could see us looking for a
another back 3 player (even with David coming in)

Earle extended his contract a year ago and I'd be surprised if
it was only for one year, so I'll also be surprised if he leaves
in the summer.

Unless he's going to Montpellier and there's a player swap
option? Would still rather bring Lynagh through to be honest.

I’m pretty sure it was announced at the time that it was only a
one year contract due to the horrific injury suffered which I
guess was a safeguard for us if he didn’t get back to his
previous levels

Wouldn't take him back. Assuming Earle stays, we have more than
enough good players out wide.
He clearly saw a few pound signs, and left without dedication
for the club.. which is fair enough but he marked his cards.
It's safe to say his trip across the channel has been a failure,
and considering they are happy to release him suggests there's
other issues connected to him (possibly attitude). Attack skills
never in question but possibly his defence (or lack of) will be
his downfall.

I miscounted; with Lynagh and Earle included we’d have 7 back
three players next season, which is about right (albeit we
always seem to be short of wingers!) So IF the reporting on
Earle moving on isn’t true, then I’m not sure we’d have space to
bring Gabs back (if that was on the cards).
