It's not about being a "lone wolf", its about being featured as the primary option on a team. Some players prefer that over being just a cog in a system like at U.K.Can you offer any support that Bamba cares more about being a lone wolf than he does competing at the highest level, while also playing with his friends? I can offer support for the opposite.
He can make friends wherever he goes. If he goes to U.K., it won't be because of Hami or Quade pressuring him. He knows the importance of this decision.
