I assumed he had joined Bolton, but he actually joined Hull and has played every game so far for them, apparently being pretty solid. I'm surprised as he never really looked like he would push for the first team here and is now 23... |  |

I thought the consensus when we were in the Championship was that he wasn't good enough but could do a reasonable job a level down.
Well, there we are. |  | | |

Hull fans rave about him and possible value of him in the future. If a player has 10 good games now there value rocket. Over a whole season or 2 counts. |  | | |

I always felt he had potential, he had a decent loan spell at Rotherham in League One?
Donacien has been a poor replacement thus far. He'll probably end up as a centre back rather than a right back, he's a big old unit!
Letting him go on a free is going to end up being a mistake. [Post edited 14 Nov 2020 16:08]

Would have him back here in a heart beat. One of the most creative players we have had for a long, long time. |  | | |

He is no better than Donacien. |  |

No. When he played right midfield, thought he was excellent. I don't know what is wrong with some on here. Jack was apparently awful and many were glad to see the back of him. As soon as they do well somewhere else, all of a sudden we did the wrong thing in letting them go. Josh was always going to be an excellent RB/RM and yet so many on here never rated him. I would have him back no problem. | | | |

So, what you're saying is that we shouldn't have bothered with Donacien?
Sounds reasonable to me. |  |

Not if the words 'most creative' have been used! | |

Are you sure you're talking about the same player?
Excellent right midfielder? |  | | |

Well, there we are. |
Rotherham fans were very happy with him and Keiffer Moore. It was pretty clear they were (at the time) very decent League 1 players. What we didn't anticipate was our need for very decent League 1 players ... although we did then start a transfer policy of signing lots of decent League 1 players. |  |

Donacien is one of the worst and most bizarre signings in ITFC history. 750k at a time when we already had decent fullbacks on both sides. |  |

Imagine if that sort of money had been spent on a full back by someone who could really spot a talent. How much did Mings, Cresswell or KVY cost? | |

Emmanuel was released *whilst* we were in League One. |  |

And, for some reason, we believed we had players that were better than League 1. | |

Donacien is a decent back up RB, would have him over Emmanuel I think. | |

Hard to argue that their respective careers to date back that up. | |

What I don't get is why, if he didn't rate him, why did Lambert insist on still signing him?
Was there some kind of legal bits meaning we HAD to? | |

The whole Donacien/ITFC story is all a bit surreal, there must be something more to it somewhere. | |

Yeah, I assume the loan agreement stipulated we had to buy him when his visa came through. I'd also hazard a guess that if Donacien hadn't been under contract until June 2021 we might have been inclined to keep Emmanuel instead. | |

Josh's biggest strength was that he was "one of our own" and therefore, seemingly immune to criticism from most on here until it was painful.
