[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Time to move on...

It was time to move on 3 years ago but we took 18 months to replace him and now have criminally put ourselves in the same situation once again!

Which other ex players you wallowing about? A lot of players gone in past 3 years

In your opinion maybe... Looking at our squad and table position I am not so sure

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

It's hard to judge him as he hasn't had much game time. I think he deserves more of a chance as its not as if any of our strikers are scoring goals. Let's hope in January the club spend big to properly replace Ulloa but I can't see it happening.

Pretty much this. It does annoy me when people label a player as useless before he is given a run of games to prove himself. Ok so perhaps this signing won't work out long term, but before, or unless, a player is given a run in the side no one will ever know what his true capabilities are . Jon Obika and Leroy Lita being other recent examples.

Didn't make the Grady?

I saw enough of Obika to know he wasn't good enough. Doing well in League 1 tho' TBF.

I agree re Lita. And Lita HAS succeeded at our level in the past.

....with cheaper, not so good ones.

 

[Ernest]

With FFP it makes you wonder who is going to take the blame for the money wasted on him and Toko, looking at a good few hundred grand here

 

[GT49er]

if this is true then it sums up what poor strategy and planning has been going on at the club.

And can we take it as read that no-one will put their hand up, take the blame, and admit they'd made a cock-up?

 

[Justice]

Some Burke looked at his 15 goals for Barnsley.

 

[GT49er]

...................maybe Murray could come back as he's proving he's still up to it in this division.

Oh for heaven's sake! He's been gone three years now - I got over my wife leaving quicker than that!

 

[severnside gull]

That's true. I've often found that the Sun shines the light on the truth and does extensive research before revealing it's scoops!

Do you work for them?
I have often found that their level of accuracy correlates to that of the infamous football rumours site. Indeed if BensGrandad had started this thread I would wager he would have been roundly pilloried for believing the rumour

Alright nob head, it's a suggestion, I'm not screaming for his return or blaming the club for letting him go, he's a football player that plays in a position where we need assistance. Forgive me for mentioning a football players name in a football thread on a football forum.

We desperately need a player with some strength who can hold the ball up front. I thought he did ok at Burton. But if he is deemed not good enough it's an indictment of how the club is run imho.
The fact that some of NSC's "experts" are judging him a Division 1 player is a total irrelevance even if they are right. Lets face it Dean Hammond and Ashley Barnes were considered Div 1 players by plenty of goons on here. Where are they now?
I wasn't impressed by Assombalonga yesterday either. His only chance to do anything against our centre backs involved cheating free kicks off a dopey ref. Perhaps we should have tried for Zamora.

Stop being intelligent. FFS

Murray would have been a fantastic (re-)signing. Gus' biggest mistake was letting Muzza go for nowt. Well, before his gross misconduct naughtiness...

I would start my reply with 'alright nob head' too, but I don't go round gratuitously insulting other posters. Mentioning a footballer's name on a footballing thread is fine, but when it's the umpteen thousandth time that someone on NSC has said 'Bring back this particular player', when it clearly isn't going to happen, it gets rather tiresome.

That may be so, however I've never mentioned Murray before, perhaps if it was a subject I'd continually dragged up then your point would be valid, but as it's the first and last time I've mentioned him on here I felt inclined to reply, albeit aggressively. Perhaps in future I should seek your approval for content.
