Nailed.
And we didn't need to sell. If we were hovering around the bottom 3-4 and this deal was done, then I'd be going absolutely APESHIT. As it is, I'm just irked and annoyed.
And WHAT a job he did for us. We've now lost that versatility - a hugely underrated attribute we had down the left. Thats now gone. The stripey arabs will be benefiting from it instead of us. And they've gone and got it for buttons.
I can't remember a sale I've been more annoyed about. We've...
If Harry Kane signed for us tomorrow, he would be immediately dropped from the England squad. BHA+England does not mix when it comes to Fishlips.
This is fact.
Thats missing the point. When Dunk/Duffey/Veltman/Webster et-al get crocked or suspended, we've now chopped our options at the back for the rest of the season. For the sake of about £11m.
Doesn't matter I suppose, being as we're safe. But I don't see why we're doing Saudi FC favours with...
I disagree that he was that far down the pecking order, his number of appearances would put paid to that. And criticism on here I can take with a 3 mile 18ft deep quarry of salt. The fact we got him from Wigan is likely the reason we got stung on his price, given his CV prior to joining us -...
I'm not interested who is back from injury, they can just as easily disappear again. Burn played 30-odd games last season and was a regular this season - he wasn't just a stopgap, he was a versatile part of a team that is doing pretty well.
I'm not saying it'll all fall apart now he's gone...
How about if you were in a pub, and everyone in the bar turned round, pointed at you, and kicked off the "sex offender" chant ?
Good old laugh with the bantz eh ?
Yes we have cover / backup when everyone is fit. But we are emerging from this window weaker as a team, because we have just sold one of our most consistent performers, and for buttons.
I'm amazed everyone thinks this is such a great deal for BHA. £13m for an experienced top 10 PL centreback who's got a good 4-5 years in him, is playing regularly, and is (was) an important member of the team, particularly with his versatility. When we don't need the money, and have got a...
connolly hopefully never plays for us again terrible player.
Can we send Connolly back please, I have a horrible feeling we've assured Brighton game time for him and it'll be to the detriment of our other, better players
Is it just me that thinks Sporar was improving and then once Connolly has...
The Sky reporter at the game today said he seemed more interested in going to ground every time he got the ball, which was not endearing him to the locals...
They won at the Amex with an efficient enough performance, but one game is hardly a barometer to proclaim how "good" they are - I think it was what, the 3rd game of the season ? Look at the state of them since then. They've been dogshit since mid-September. I'm not sure what point you're trying...
I think they are WELL beyond the point of demanding "attractive football" now. Much like when Hughton arrived here, its a case of getting organised and scrapping for survival. The football was DISMAL under Hughton that half-season when he arrived, to the point where some people on here were...
They had a good day out at our place very early in the season, but I think its a big stretch, to say the least, to say that they're the 2nd best team we've faced this season.
They're a team of individuals, a thin squad with some big egos. And they have been absolute shithouse for months. 4...
Agreed. Appointing him is a shot in the dark, he has nothing in his track record to suggest he can galvanise a team to stave off the threat of relegation, and its too late for him (or anyone) to have much input in the transfer window.
TBH I think they'd be better off bringing in BFS for the...
