Todd : potential / consistency / high-maintenance

He's one of those players who used to be described as mercurial.

I can properly understand people who are disappointed if he goes - on his day he's a great player to watch and a proper home-grown one of our own.

But in honesty I'm a bit resigned to him going and tbh felt more of a pang when we released Stiepermann.

There's always a bit of algebra around memorable moments vs anonymous performances vs perception of effort for every player.

Todd, for me, feels like he's been poorly served by his agent (from a PR point of view). They might have managed to negotiate a decent pay packet for him, but the manner in which it has been done seems to have been perennially disruptive.

So the fan base will tend to take a view on whether it's the club or Todds Reps who are most at fault for the disruption. It does stand in marked contrast to Aarons, Pukki, Godfrey, Lewis, who have all been in similar positions.

So, if he goes, I'll think it's a shame, but hard to feel sad or disappointed... Particularly in view of how things have shaken out this year.
