I'd be crying too if I had to move to Leicester.
Why? Maybe he's just sad to leave the fans and club behind. He's probably gotten attached to the club during the last 3 years.
It's actually refreshing to see a footballer who's not a fecking emotionless robot.
"Man Utd not looking to bring in any new faces but still trying to get rid of Rojo, Valencia the only club interested."
Adapt quickly. Learn the language and don't get homesick. Or end up like Dale Jennings.
I'm not sure what Jennings has to do with it?
He was signed to play for their IIs and got a bad injury when he was there. Nobody expected him to make it with the Bayern first team.
Then should stay at Sporting and not ask for a transfer.
Didnt see that coming
He has all the attributes to play in Prem, surprised nobody took a shot, maybe because he's not English.
If he's demanded the move than fair enough, but maybe the club deemed the offer too good to refuse and there wasn't a transfer request.
Burke has been on fire for Forest this season. Should of stayed with them this season I think but it will be interesting to see how he does there. A lot of my mates won't be happy and I'm not surprised really. No ambition from Forest at all these days
He was considered a brighter prospect than team-mate Emre Can, now at Liverpool. But just five years later, Jennings is sitting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel next to Liverpool's John Lennon Airport without a club after being released by MK Dons.
Bayern Munich told Jennings he had a future in the first team at a time when Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben were tormenting full backs. He would stay behind after training at their Säbener Strasse base to watch two of the world's best. 'They were quick players anyway, but they used to do a lot of sprint work, crossing, finishing, taking players on,' he said. 'Any young player would look at them and want to be like them.'
World Cup winner Philipp Lahm took part in some of Jennings' training sessions and Jennings scored in a couple of first-team friendlies. 'Lahm was brilliant with the young kids, encouraging us,' he said.
But, for Jennings, something was not quite right. 'I used to just look down at the badge on my training kit and think "What am I doing here?",' he says.
He was one of manager Jupp Heynckes' first signings, for a fee that reached £1.8million. He joined just after Louis van Gaal departed and just before Pep Guardiola arrived, but by that stage he was so unhappy not even the game's greatest manager could tempt him to stay.
Injuries played a big part — he had two operations before he kicked a ball there — and he had difficulty learning the language despite numerous teachers and even employing a Scouse language tutor at one stage. He found it hard in a new country where he could barely understand what his team-mates were talking about.
Jennings had moved away from his family in Liverpool for the first time and was homesick. He lived alone in a Munich flat and, not used to cooking for himself, the bad dietary habits slipped in.
Youth coach Mehmet Scholl assured Jennings there was a future for him in Bayern's first team, but, with a year still left on his contract in 2013, Jennings packed up his belongings and flew home.
'I wasn't professional enough. I didn't take it as seriously as I should have done,' he admitted. 'I didn't dedicate myself to my diet and my work ethic. I'd never cooked a meal in my life, never done my own washing, it was hard being thrown in at the deep end.'

United want Fonte and Fabinho before Wednesdays deadline according to Castles.
Valencia want Rojo.
Jones and Darmian may leave also.
Fabinho as a DM is exactly what we need imo, Fellaini has been good but he is not top class in this position if we are to be honest.

I thought he's a right back.
So this is our quiet few days is it?
Hmm, is anyone expecting any of this to happen?
Been over the moon with our summer business and was settled on no more incomings and the only one going out being Will Keane. Not that I rate Rojo, so if we have a chance to offload him it's worth considering.
If we are talking about Darmian and Rojo out for Fonte and Fabinho then it would be easily a yes. My feelings was I'd like to give Darmian one more season. But Fabinho is better. But do I think it will happen.... No. The British press have been clueless this transfer window.
He is both.
We need a quality mobile DM against the better teams.
I could see Fabinho coming in the next few days for this role.
Fonte is good but not really needed as we have three quality CB's already.
Praying for Fabinho, Fellaini and Schneiderlin are not good enough.
Castles is close to Mourinho, although he was wrong about Blind and Mata.
I think it's a crock of shite from Castles yet again. He's been absolutely wrong about everything and backtracked where things have gone opposite to what he says, though people do cite him as being one of the first to jump on the Pogba transfer.
Even if we sign Fabinho, I don't think it'd be to play him in midfield. As a replacement for Darmian yeah, but we don't need any more midfielders.
We haven't even offloaded Schweiny yet.
We haven't even offloaded Schweiny yet.
I just don't think Jose would tell him about any our business
If there's a chance to sign Fabinho we shouldn't pass it up. But for right back. How have people completely changed their mind about schneiderlin? He had an off season last year like most. He will still be a good player for us.
Can't see Fabinho happening unless there is a good offer for Darmian. Can't see Fonte happening at all. Article is blatant clickbait from Castles, trying to make easy money.

Fellaini is first choice DM at the moment and he is not good enough.
The fact Schneiderlin is on the bench and Fellaini playing ahead of him is not a good sign.
We need a quality mobile DM or are people satisfied with Fellaini?
He has been better this season but Pogba needs a better partner if we continue the current two man midfield against the likes of City and Chelsea.
Mourinho did say Fellaini's injury was bad... But even then I'd be surprised because our squad is huge.
I think Fellaini is in the team partly because the defence lacks dominance in the air. Could easily see Schneidy or Carrick in once Smalling is in as well.
Wasn't the club but his agent
I don't think Koulibaly is 195cm. I'm basing this on watching him and I'm fairly sure Raul Albiol (Around 190cm) is taller than him.
Stories like those are a dime a dozen for anyone who doesn't make it including vastly over-stated hyperbole about who player x was better than at a certain age.
I'm not denying Jennings was talented enough to be considered worthy to be signed by them in the first place and that, theoretically at least, he had a path to the first team. Just that, primarily, he was signed as a longshot gamble to fill squad places in their B side and no one harboured realistic expectations of him making it. The lack of talent to play at the top level, alongside unfortunate luck with injuries, dictated why he didn't make it.
You are getting ripped off. In the UK they are ten for a penny.
I think they're comparable now thanks to brexit.
YepNews "later"Which will be an uninteresting piece of shite nothing news.
Castles is an ITK who knows nothing, makes stuff up then stubbornly sticks to it even when Mourinho blatantly and repeatedly says no-one is leaving or coming.
