Should we have paid off Turienzo?

[Biscuit]

I think not.

He was carrying an injury most of the time and if I remember he did net a few for the reserves. Being fully fit he should at least been given a chance this season. Why spend, *apparently* a huge amount of money on a player and then let him go without so much as a chance?

I miss El Tel.

McGhee out.

 

[John Boy]

How many years did he have left on his contract?

IMO, he should of been kept for next season, he hasn't had much of a chance this year, with injuries.

 

[Frutos]

I would have given him a fair chance this season. He's had his bad luck with injuries, and his appearances for the Reserves do appear to indicate a goal scoring talent at some level.

We're desperate for strikers, particularly the mythical "big target man" that McGhee keeps on about, so I think we could have done a lot worse than giving him a few first-team games to prove whether or not he could have been that player before taking these steps.

I have no idea, having never seen him even train, let alone play a competetive match.

I also have no idea of the exact nature of any transfer/signing on fee and wages, and how this related to other transactions through the same agent at the same time.

I am quite happy to trust MM and DK to manage the players and the club.

Completley agree.

Yes, but this is a discussion board. I'm happy for DK to look after the club, but we can still discuss his decisions.

No, chronic harmstring injury related "to the way he walks" FFS, and style of football completely different to what he was used to. Bad decision to sign him, great decision to cut our losses.

What a great post LI!

 

[brighton2win]

yes: he was shit

 

[Don Tmatter]

I've heard that he was paid £100,000 for last year with a car and flat thrown in as part of the deal.
Someone's had a nice little touch out of us for zero return

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Be interesting to know how much of his contract was paid

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

he was never given a fair crack & i think with a full pre season he could have been a player especially in league 1

[WATFORD O]

Wasnt he your coke cola player?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

no.

 

[itszamora]

This whole business really does make us look stupid, especially with all and sundry constantly banging on about how little money we have. Of course we're going to be strapped for cash if we piss £150k or whatever it was up the wall on the basis of a recommendation then never play said player and pay up his contract a year later. Idiotic.

 

[Stinky Kat]

its like the fella at southampton who Souess signed on somebodies recommendation, bloody amateur.

Had to go

Unlike that guy though, Turienzo might have actually been useful if we had ever dared to play him.

 

[Stinky Kat]

we will never know

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

He looked good up at Luton - worked his arse off, held it up well, a decent touch; and all this when partnered with McCammon. Something of a shame it was his only start - bugger knows what McGhee's doing. Again.
