FFS was easily good enougjh, and shipping him out was a big mistake. We would have been far better off had he still been here now.
B'mouth was always a poor club for him. he thrives on delivery from the wings, which he'd have got at palace, and is now getting at BHA.
Just another example of Parish's arrogance, along with the 'we've got a better squad than Burnley', 'this squad is bursting with talent', 'what if the sun doesn't come up', 'we've got to look to europe not just fight relegation' and the 'dutch revolution'.
this **** about him wanting to go. He allegedly wanted first team football. wtf does that even mean. He should have been told he's one of our regular strikers. Making him feel not wanted is part of the crapness of the policy. It was stupid and practically all of us knew it. It was arrogance not wanting him and letting him go
Exactly this. That transfer was one of the worst sales in recent years, apart from Victor Moses and Nat Clyne which was in totally different circumstances.
One minute he was been talked of as someone for Connor Wickham to learn from, the next he was being sold for apparently a "great value" £3-4m. This is peanuts these days for a proven goalscorer, who could still have been a great option of the bench for us. From our point of view, what an absolute waste.
Brighton look a lot more effective (opta needs to find a way of measuring "effectiveness") with him in the team. He occupies defenders, retains possession and attacking shape, and gives focus to their play. He may not score loads of goals but he'll get a few while bringing other players into the game. The club got way ahead of itself thinking that he (like Jedinak) weren't valuable to the first team.
Must say, he did look good the last 2 matches...and he is outscoring Benteke at the moment in a newly promoted team no less.
we know how this ends. Brighton stayed up. We went down with 31 pts
Lovely thread. What comes around goes around eh.
