Eoghan1884 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Big fan of this, loved him as a player always gave it his all, would love to see him play just once in the pizza cup or something just for a last run out. Steve How Hard? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 He will be eligible to play for the u21s as an over age player. This may be useful in the event of an injury crisis, as he will maintain some kind of match fitness and be able to back up the first team squad, if the situation demands.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I always thought he had quite good football intelligence and vision, beyond his pretty average ball skills, which was the other way round to so many championship players who had good skills but zero vision. And obviously, hugely physically strong and determined. Glad he's coaching. Seemed a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thought he was a reasonable player, nothing special. My dad had (unusually for him) a complete and irrational hatred of him… 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlighted a lot of short-comings with regards to recruitment. A player brought in off the back of a bit of a purple patch, who didn't fit the system and was a little bit of a square peg in a round hole. A lot of money invested for little return.

Think that generally hampered his time here, which wasn’t actually his fault because we agreed the transfer fee, not him. His first dozen or so games were excellent, he really made a difference and as did Butterfield to be fair. He wasn’t actually that bad but got a hell of a lot of abuse at times and almost became a bit of a villain for some. I think he pulled that back though and was a good player for us overall. It’s nice that he can come back in this capacity and be well regarded, I haven’t seen any negative comments against his return anyway. It shows that despite the fee he wasn’t all that bad a signing, even if it was probably 3x over being value for money… angieram and Dordogne-Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
