  1. yip. Also it kind of backs up the point that his attitude is bad that he comes out and says shit like that instead of getting on with the job in any kind of dignified way. Seems to believe he's world class when I'm not even sure he's EPL class.

    He looked half decent for Portsmouth as he was allowed to attack, same at West Ham. At Chelsea, Liverpool and with England when he has to have a bit of defensive discipline he badly falters. He was awful for one of Blackburns goals the other night where he was beaten on the by line.

  2. Bit harsh to single out Merson as Le Tissier also ripped Johnson as did Stelling.  Still, if you're going to give it out etc...

    Ha ha ha wow. Give a football to Paul Merson then give one to Johnson and see which one had the ability. To a higher extent Le Tissier as well.

  3. I'd say Foster will be on or around £2k for sure. I know (through a friend of a friend. Shite I know but it's a very good source) that Championship clubs were looking at him and he was recommended to Leeds scout but didn't want to move. While I think he's shit I respected him a bit more for that.

     

    Ifil will definitely be on £3k minimum. No way he would have uprooted himself and his family for peanuts.

     

    So Foster is an educated guess whereas Ifil is just common sense.

  4. Was he? I thought he just wasn't getting a game for them and had no serious injury woes at the huns. Still like my version of events. As I say they would have had to pay his wages to terminate his contract anyway so may as well put him out on loan and get a defender in for cover as a return and see  how he fares. Really a win win situation for the huns.

    If you don't agree with me I'm just going to cover my ears and shout "LA LA LA LA LA".

  5. Aye but that is where his injury problem really started. He hardly ever played for them so that would make it pointless as a get him fit exercise. The huns may have hoped that the serious injury he suffered down there was behind him and sent him to us for the reasons I have already stated.

    He was a crock at Rangers too though.

  6. I disagree with you here bobo.

    Maybe the huns felt that they could send us Velicka on loan he would get his fitness and sharpness back and they could offer him a new contract, probably on reduced terms due to his injury woes. This would have been a striker that along with Kendo "super goal machine" Miller would help to replace boyd and give them some experienced attacking backup on the bench.

    I reckon he huns would have reasoned he had a far greater chance of first team action at us rather than them what with their 4 million signing. They may also have been worried about losing Kenny Miller this season as well as his contract is up. A win win situation for them. They would have had to pay his wages if they paid him off anyway. This way they get defensive back up and give Velicka a chance to prove his fitness.

    I'd 100% agree with you if they didn't already try that one with Bristol though Coopy.

  7. Apart from they'd have had to pay him off and would have had no bargaining power in the loan deal for Foster.

    Well it depends who you listen too. McGhee at the time said he initiated the move. Whether that's true or not who knows but I'd wager we'd have let Foster go on loan whethr we were getting Velicka or not.

     

    I think they'd rather pay him off than have him sitting doing nothing due to there being no reserve league if we didn't want him.

  8. Jesus Christ. Shows how much McGhee's stock must have decreased losing out on a job to that mercenary.

     

    The guy who made a cunt of the decent job McGhee had made at Motherwell. Then leaves and goes to Peterborough and made a cunt of it there.

  9. I don't think it's ever been confirmed if we're paying anything for Velicka or not. Would certainly make no sense for the Huns to loan a player who is out of contract at the end of the season for free, they'd just release him.

     

    If we are paying wages due to the financial constraints on our club it certainly has to be up there with Pepper, in my opinion. That's with the help of hindsight obviously.
