Absolutely!

I don't really have a problem with it. He can spot a player imo, just doesn't really know anything about building a team. That's how it should be for a scout. He's saddled us with more crap than good 'uns, imho.

Needs to sack his PR team at NUFC as they've just fucked up a worldwide publicity opportunity. Periscope FFS!

Good idea!

"I'm devastated my goals didn't keep us up". Cheeky fucker! His cowardly performances, especially away from home, easily cost us at least 2 points which makes him the player who relegated us.

If he's to move he'd have to take a huge pay cut. Not going to happen, I'm afraid.

Should be knighted for the amount of Cashley's money he's burned.

Slow as a boat and couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Could do alright in Championship, but Rafa'll have him out before we return to top level football.

Tons of football fans means 5-6 people if its real weight we measure. You must know some seriously fat bastards.

Words of Guillem Balague. Don't believe it, can't even spell Spaniard.

We've got to keep some quality to give us a chance of getting straight back up. He'd be the first on list of players to keep next season.

Disagree. His lack of mobility will be just as much of a handicap in the Championship, and it would be relatively easy to negate his effectiveness by man marking him, for instance. We won't get £70k per week of value out of him when he's, inevitably, playing with inferior footballers.

Ridiculous! The man to blame is the man who decided to hire him and then give him an EIGHT year contract, with a huge remit, after one reasonable season.

The bookies, generally, know fuck all.

He's not dead yet, is he?

He personifies all that is wrong with the top level of the game today; he's a gutless, heartless, mercenary bastard that knows his advisors will be able to con another club into giving him his next lucrative deal based on a couple of performances where things went his way. He'll get found out eventually, but not before he's got several millions squirrelled away in an offshore account designed so he can pay less tax than his house maid.

For what? He's lumbering, cumbersome and whatever the opposite of clinical is. He was one of the highest rated prospects in Europe before joining us, and had been scoring for fun before, albeit in "lesser" leagues. If you'd look at the goals he scored at Anderlecht for instance, I think it becomes clear that the main issue is him not getting the service needed for him to find his feet in the PL. He shouldn't be leading the line for us, but that's not his fault. We should've had a more clinical striker, proven in the PL to survive. That doesn't mean this guy isn't a massive talent though. Just that we threw him into the deep end and told him to beat Michael Phelps at swimming before teaching him how to swim. "Massive talent" he certainly isn't, proven by some horrendous misses and the fact that he can barely run, for fucks sake.

There's no one with the leadership qualities of Nolan, in particular, and Barton in this squad. Can't see us getting anywhere near the play offs with the lot we'll have left after the inevitable rat departures.

For what? He's lumbering, cumbersome and whatever the opposite of clinical is.

He's a safety first manager, and I think we needed to be on the front foot from the whistle today, but I can see the difficulty with the group of players at his disposal. Don't blame Rafa. If he couldn't keep us up, I don't believe anyone could have.

Hasn't this cunt fucked off yet?

Come on man... open your eyes a little bit. There's clearly something there. He has some ability and a presence. And how old is he? f*** off He's a 21 unproven striker expected to lead the line for the majority of a season in a s*** team. He's missed some sitters but he's shown plenty, in my opinion, to suggest there's a player there. So tell me what attributes he has to succeed in the PL? Strength, power, heading ability, (hasn't shown it too much for us but I've seen evidence of a good finisher elsewhere), presence, decent enough hold up play / link up play. I'll flip this around, because so many people on this board absolutely wank over Perez, but I see very little difference in the potential of both players (although they're very different in style). He's fucking ordinary at best man. Not worth persevering with unless we're looking to consolidate in the Championship.

As "chief scout" he must have sanctioned the signing of Mitrovic and Shelvey, two footballers who, obviously, can't run. I can only conclude that he must be/have been on a mission to fuck over Ashley and/or NUFC. In which case, well done, mission accomplished. Now fuck off!

That may be why I said " As long as we get rid of the s**** from the squad and bring in proper players who give a s***." And that's going to be easy?

The Championship is no better than it was the last time we went down. Possibly, but we've no heart, or the experience we had then, in this squad.
