I cannot believe these comments , he was done for when he re-signed and he knew it, take your rose coloured glasses off , i've also read in a earlier thread "he was getting better game by game" ...he wasn't ...
they could sue this baord for publishing a libel....ask the baord for the details of the poster who is making up lies about them.
i do ....the man himself has retired.....i suggest you start watching another sport...
he wasn't .......he has admitted it himself by calling it a day......
Well done you!
You've spoken to him? He looked sharper in his third game (I think) when he came off the bench and O'Nien's goal came from his shot.
I would happily buy a couple of grands worth of shares (at a fair price with no profit for the bassas!) and sure more would chip in at similar conditions.
Aye we should have signed another 3 strikers
We are in league one man you clown
Keep up at the back
He wasn't in L1 when we signed him. Other clubs in this league have taken top players from other L1 sides. We have not been at the races
Mate i've watched all his games and defenders were on him in a shot , too slow now..he must have realised this after a couple of starts, maybe he thought the league quality was worse than what it really is and has found out its not,he is not for this league at his age and unfortunatley he has found out the hard way,and rather embarrass himself and ruin his legacy he has retired.
He looks a good player with a sharp brain. Scores a variety of goals. We've picked up players before who've gone on to do well. Like Lawrence & Whitehead
Is it not libel to say Ellis Short took a lot of money out of the club, when clearly he lost millions over his tenure? How are you so sure they haven't basically used smoke n mirrors with so many holding companies and grey areas. Its just never been straight up, in the same manner as the whole Tory front bench are now being exposed for financial activities. Its always just a matter of time with these types. They'll push and push, treat people like fools and think they can get away with it ad infinitum. Thatcher was the same and it imploded.
In his prime then. Short term solution for a long term problem and would have been a far better signing than JD. For starters, we wouldn't have lost at Cheltenham where he scored and was head n shoulders the best player on the park.
Aye. If he knew he was finished and played on he'd be accused of stealing a wage. He knows he's finished and retired but he left us in the lurch.
Imagine what this place would have been like after Clough came back for just 3 games.
What's the source on the first bit, he only signed at the back end of Jan, the accountants must be class.
100% Defoe shouldn’t have been the one striker signing in January. If we’d have signed two, I’d have still been a bit pissed off at Defoe right now, but hopefully not concerned he’s left us short on numbers. Which is why I’m pissed off, he’s made a decision to leave us short on numbers & regardless of Janusrys failing, the club can’t act until the summer.
I wouldn’t have committed to them if I didn’t believe I could contribute for a short period of time. He signed because he wanted to sign, for him, not the club, cause, team, whatever. It was about him.
Aye, that’s a well reasoned argument. It was depressing watching, I’m guessing living it everyday was horrendous. There’s that saying “familiarity breeds contempt”. Gooch will never be a success at SAFC now because too many have decided he’s shite & won’t change their mind, no matter how well he does. It was a bit the opposite for Defoe at that time for me. I’d seen him do so well & have a great attitude to it falling apart.
Not according to Dufrais’ post
