I agree with this. He didn't cost of a penny, was not one of our higher paid players. You can't fault his desire and work ethic but clearly not of the required standard for NUFC. I wish him luck and hope he has a long career, I can see him doing what Brian Tinnion did when he left us, he carved a very successful career for himself at the lower level.
Carr is a competely different story, one of Robson poorer decisions IMO. This should free some room in the salary budget which is a good thing.
As for Triosi, I think there comes a time when you have to cut a younger player when they haven't progressed, I think this season he should have been pushing harder for a first team place but instead he's seen the likes of Lua Lua move ahead of him. Again cost of us nothing and wish him all the best.
To be fair to SBR, he actually wanted Miguel that portugese RB but the chariman thoguth differently.
A swap deal with Viana was mentioned wasn't it? During Euro 2004?
Aye, that rings a bell, Viana was still highly rated back in Portugal at that ime as well. Think it was just before 2004, cos that was the summer that Chelsea went gung ho with their money...siging Ferraira and Carvahllo...
As an aside Ferreira (sp?) is so average it's untrue. That's not just going off the match yesterday. He's fast and steady defensively but he offers f*** all going forward. What did they pay for him? £12m?
Average sums him up perfectly, absolute traversty of a transfer fee, i think it was the Greek RB who shone in that tournament and went to another club for a fraction of that fee. Chelsea got bummed with alot of there transfers that summer. Some absolute stupid transfer fees. £21m for SWP, £17m Duff etc.....
that greek RB was seitaridis no?
