Mugatu Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Gutted to lose him but at least midfield is an area we're relatively strong in. Also, he was at times too much of a distraction and you go into every game worried he's going to be targeted by the other team and get sent off or do something stupid.

Also, he won us shitloads of points with his performances and took away focus from players of other teams by just being on the field. He will be a HUGE miss.

MW Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It would mean that we've bought in the absolute minimum required, we could have pushed on this year, frustrating as fuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Only at this club can we win a derby and talk about capitalising on the positive vibes flowing by bringing in a couple of players only to turn around and sell one of our best. Think he will turn it down tbh. Why would he? He already knows a big club won't come in. He is perfectly happy here by his own admission, ball is in his court. Why leave for a club like QPR now when he can pick up a bigger signing on fee next summer. He isn't be frozen out here, infact It's clear he is a starter for pardew. Another season playing like last years and a bigger club than QPR will be in for him. which bigger club would that be? Bigger than QPR? Can see anyone outside the top 4 taking him for nothing if he has another season as good as the last. Big ask for him to do that and stay trouble free though.

BottledDog Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm getting absolutely sick to fucking death of shit like this, i've been supporting this club & attending matches since the late 70's & i am so disilutioned by the whole game its untrue. Do the paying supporters even come into the reckoning at all now......not at all !! The whole game is absolutely ruined & is full of money grabbing individuals who could'nt give a flying fuck for the game. I'm definately not the only one of my age group thinking this way i know that for sure. R.I.P. football, we had some laughs !! How does it does it compare to the past mate? Genuinely interested to know, I've only been supporting since KK era number one, and it doesn't seem to have changed much since then. I guess one difference was that we used to pay the silly money to make players choose us, and now we're on the other side of the fence. A good deal of the pain these days I'd put down to the sheer overload of press nonsense, claim, counterclaim, and every single minutiae being discussed. Can't help myself now, but don't think I was any worse off getting the general gist from the chronicle and the odd radio show. Ignorance is bliss they say.

Cronky Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think Joey finds decisions difficult. He will make a big show of will-I- won't-I before eventually staying with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think that Joey would probably like to stay with us in an ideal world. He obviously likes the fans, the city and the region and is settled here. However he's seen that the club has no real ambitions beyond survival, and most importantly no doubt feels unwanted by the club who will be making him unemployed next summer. I'm sure that like the other players that have been sold recently he seriously dislikes the people running the club. QPR will no doubt offer him similar money to his present salary but on a long term contract. If they get relegated he can leave on a free if he wants, as Ba did, if he wants that in his contract. QPR might be a smaller club than we are but they are certainly no less successful, in fact as we know there is hardly a club in the top two or three divisions that have won less than us over the last 40-50 years. Also they now have a motivated owner, who will invest in the club and try to make them better than they are, something it's very hard to say about our present ownership.

I have not seen much of Obertan to judge either way mate. Saying that though, you get the cretins like Karl Henry, who want nothing better than to buckle Barton, so it will take that kind of attention away.
