nobby_solano Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Joe Kinnear is sounding a lot like Craig David at the moment: "New contract for Nicky on Monday, new contract for Shola on Tuesday, begged Michael on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, lost to Spurs on Sunday." hehehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 pisses me off when the likes of nicky butt still got new contract... mean we won't sign new younger player with much prospective... or the rest of academy won't get first team chance...

Yorkie Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I wouldn't be bothered if it meant he was fourth or fifth choice. That's not the case though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I don't remember ever saying anything positive about Butt, but he certainly has his advantages.. no problem seeing him here next year, as long as he's not starting every game.. hopefully the new manager won't be afraid to drop big reputation players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think he's generally been quite a good player for us in his time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think he's generally been quite a good player for us in his time here. I don't. He was a decent-ish player that wasn't really interested when he first came here, and since his return from Birmingham hes been a generally poor player with the odd decent game here and there.

Guest Heneage Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Seems daft to offer incentive type contracts like the one Butt has in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 1 more year as a squad player is fine by me. hopefully the new manager will see him as that and not a guaranteed starter. Are you fucking joking? That's exactly what he'll be, a guaranteed starter for another year. He's not a bad squad player, but if he's around no British manager will put him on the bench. Another year of stagnation guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year of stagnation guaranteed. If we're looking at a £6m-rated CM as it stands (and if we get one) and then Barton gets back from injury as well, do you still think Butt will be an automatic starter? I think phasing him out is the best way to go about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year of stagnation guaranteed. as has just been said, if we can replace him well enough he'll be a handy enough squad player for a year. he has his best games after he's been out for a game or 2 so playing him sparingly might have decent results for him and us.

Taylor wasn't left out, he lost his place through injury and Bassong took his chance. Same applies to Duff otherwise both players would still be playing IMO. To be fair, Kinnear showed some balls by not bringnig Owen straight back into the team when Shola was doing well, we'll see what happens when Barton comes back into the running.

tmonkey Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I dont think I've seen as bad a performance in the Premier League in recent times as from Butt today. If this was Ali Dia or Fumaca or some other joke "footballer" playing, it is a performance that would have lived in the memory long after the player had immediately been shipped out. There'd be 20 minute long dedicated youtube clips of nothing but shockingly abysmal passes and first touches by this clown masquerading as a Premiership footballer.
