gccrowdpleaser Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Shifting BJ, him, Bryson, Nugent, Cole, Olsson, Pearce and (fingers crossed) Butterfield should have freed up 100k a week in wages between them at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the rest I'd have thought if the perennial rumours on here have any credence. 9 guys....some of our reputedly higher earners? Reckon you can double that!

Alph Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Good luck to him. I always feel sorry for players that kind of get made out to be worse than they are. I don't think he's any good but he didn't do much wrong at Derby. Just not meant to be. It's not like he was costing us games. He just added nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irobinson Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Unfortunate relationship all round with Nick Waste of time, effort and money - very forgettable probably for both parties i wish him luck though, remember where there is a Kevin Hector there is always a Nick Blackman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esteban Fuertes for me - We may have made a sneaky profit on him but 1) he was supposed to be our exciting new CF and wasn't plus 2) I remember rumours that the league considered point reductions against us that season for fielding an ineligible player (and one who scored winner against Everton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 We signed a player who was billed as striker but always performed his best and scored the most goals throughout his career from wide right... where we already had Tom Ince. Was just a waste of a signing, and he never got a chance as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the media were more focused on the appointment of Cocu and the team out in the USA, and this just slipped under the radar. Had it been one of the more prominent players i.e Butterfield or the likes, someone might have followed them and reported. Blackman leaving after his disaster here is hardly going to sell.

It wasn't our fault he (allegedly) had a dodgy passport. I saw TBE and Fuertes meet at the Mickleover Court (by accident, I was ITK) and old Jim could see me rubber necking so came over and said 'shhhh!' and a wink. Feurtes could not have looked more Argy in his double (bleached) denim, very glam Mrs and extremely smarmy looking agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suspect so, Blackman ain’t even newsworthy anymore- shows what a fall from grace he’s had here after being championship top goalscorer when he arrived.

At the time it was billed as 100% Clement. Clement had apparently worked with him before at Blackburn, and asked for him specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
