Adrian Colunga & Nzuzi Toko

[Mr Banana]

Colunga was simply a bang average player. Probably would've done alright in L1, but a Championship player he was not. Just one of those obscure bargain-basement foreign nonentities that Burke had a fixation with.

The sending-off against Fulham at home was one of the most stupid things I've ever seen an Albion player do, and that includes Freeman gobbing on his own shirt. Compounded by AC taking ten minutes to leave the pitch when we needed an equaliser like an obese child needs the proverbial baked dessert.

Wasn't Clunge let go because he was supposed to be homesick?

 

[Grombleton]

He played 45 minutes, made two tackles, and misplaced three passes. Not spectacular.

According to the report on the official website, he didn't even manage that - only on for 20 minutes apparently!

Even better.

I am amazed that it took until post #42 for this "NSC fact" to be trotted out.

What a strange thread.....

I managed to sleep through the 93/94 season, just wondering if anyone could update me on the progress of Stewart Kerr and Jeff Minton?

Jeff Minton is attempting to replace Bobby Zamora in the "let's re-sign an ex-player who last played for us at least 10 years ago" role:-

when on earth did hughton manage jeff minton?!

Probably in Mintons young days at Spurs.,

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I'd completely forgotten those two. I really didn't need reminding...........

Probably in Mintons young days at Spurs.,

Hughton retired from playing after the 1992-93 season at Brentford. He then returned to Spurs as a coach; according to Wikipedia, he was initially in charge of the U-21 side. Minton's last season at Spurs was 1993-94, before being released and joining Albion. So, it would seem that Minton would have had one season playing predominantly for Hughton at Tottenham.

It's a question, did you notice the question mark or is sarcasm your best effort?

Eh?

There was never any suggestion at the time (or since) from the club or reputable media (eg Argus) that Colunga was homesick. That didn't stop people posting as such on here. So much so that a year ago I made a post pointing out the evidence that suggests it was nonsense - Adrian Colunga

You will note the SECOND post on that thread:-

Didn't he leave because he was homesick? He was played out of position when he was here though.

I'm still genuinely shocked it took until post #42 in this thread.

Hence why he used a question mark, as I did in my post!

It ranks alongside the 'Zamora doesn't like football' factoid as the myth that never goes away.
