Sparrow...

[Telford Seagull]

If anyone think sparrow would be a make-weight for murray, think again! If you follow him on twitter he throws in digs at croydon and palace constantly and gets abuse off the pikeys for doing so. He would NEVER go there!

What is Sparrow's wage? I do not know it but if its more than Harley and Dicker then I can see why its him. I couldn't choose between them personally all squad players. Crofts Vicente and Bridders are better.

I would think Harley is on the biggest wage of the three. Probably Harley>Sparrow>Dicker just going bu when they were signed, who from etc, although Dicker I think got a new contract when we went up so there's probably not much difference between him and Sparrow.

There are a few I would like to see go before Sparrow. Plenty of championship experience and the longer he plays the more settled he looks, stupid red cards at wrong times. Plenty of dead weight ahead of him at club taking up wages. Getting rid of Sparrow can only weaken the squad in midfield if the likes of Harley are still drawing a wage. Having said that, I doubt there is a long queue of club waiting to take over Harley's contract, we could be stuck with him.

I totally agree with that Kev, he is a very useful squad player. I know you can't, but I'd keep him just for that double against Stains in January.

He just tweeted "decisions to make....."

Ah yes, the attention seeking tweet, normally only seen being posted on teenage girls Facebook's.

100% this - red cards f***ed him up at the wrong time. Shame really like him as a player.

Like a lot on here would prefer to see other players go before Sparrow and Vincelot having taken time to travel to Swindon on Tuesday to witness the most abject performance since Watford away bar Bruno, Bridge and Bridcutt. Think Sparrow can still do a good job and likely to get on the scoresheet more regularly then Dixey and Harley. But only my opinion.

Quite a few people say this about the red cards as if they were something that just happened to him, it's not like he got injured or something, he got stupidly sent off two games in a row. I doubt Gus was happy about it or just thinking what bad luck.

Oh really i thought the red cards happened to someone else... like i said they f***ed him up.

But to say "they f***ed him up" kind of implies that 'they' are somehow removed from him, rather than the result of his actions on the football pitch.

I think its symantics - you know what i mean. If he hadnt got sent off twice in close sucession (cant remember the nature of the cards really but i dont remember them being terrible reds eg twatting someone Greer stylie) he was on a good run of form. Getting sent off f***ed him up as he was out of the team and seems have paid a heavy price now by being told he can look for another club. I find it frustrating as i think he is a much better player than harley. Lets face it we may as well play with 10 men when harley is on the pitch as he contributes zero.

I think I read somewhere that Sparrow had the most career appearances to his name in last years squad?

 

[Jack Daniels]

Decisions to make? Is that it? He could be thinking Nandos with Noone or Nandos with LuaLua?

Yup, could just be innocent. Like, he can't decide what to cook for dinner or what film to see.

Yes but consider this. Arguably our best performance last year was with 9 men v Burnley. So why not just start with 9 every game , save some wages, buy a decent striker and get rid of Harley and any other no hopers!!!

Bridders started moat games last season. Sparrow was sent off against burnly late on I believe. Then came on as a sub at forest got a cheap yellow. Then pulled guediora back as a professional foul so 2nd yellow. Silly really as he scored a blunder against saints.

I don't think it is a semantic argument because I think the cards probably have to do with how Sparrow plays, so it's like saying he's f***ed over by not being a better player. He was playing quite well at the time but I don't think he's got too many other people to blame at least. I would probably keep him (or Vincelot) over Harley but who knows, I can only assume Gus still thinks he can get more from Harley than we have so far.

No it was v leicester and forest. My mate only saw 2 brighton games last year and saw Sparrow sent off twice...

CAREER appearances

 

[Djmiles]

I would take Sparrow ahead of Dicker and Harley any day of the week, so will be sad to see him go.

If he signs for a championship team you know he will score against us. Its inevitable.....
