There was an air of opportunism about the fee we paid for him, he turns up and has to play in front of a plodding midfield (apart from Wilson) but still does well. There's an enquiry from a PL team and we ask silly money even though we're shedding players all over the shop.
We're rubbish but he still scores a few goals and collects a few head bandages along the way, including a (relatively) memorable hat-trick - two goals and a bandage - against Huddersfield. The bad attitude and the vaccine refusal may well be true but we don't know for sure and he might not be the only one regarding the latter.
I don't blame him for wanting to go; we've been a shambles for months. Footballers' "hearts" are never in it; they give 100% - or not - to stay in the team and maximise income. The rest is whatever narrative you choose. Good luck Kieffer. On we go.
