Skeletor Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Might as well give him a chance considering our other options are so horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It's hard to say whether he should get a chance, none of us are privvy to what happens in training or if the players attitude is right. We know he's had a problem with that before due to Kinnear, it all depends where his head is at. The fact he isn't appearing even at reserve level to keep a degree of match fitness is worrying, wonder if he's refusing to play again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGSC Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 If there is any player in the squad that i would be ecstatic to be given a chance and see do really well, it's this guy. it absolutely perplexes me how someone like Lovenkrands can be given two chances before Xisco is given even one. Although i cant be sure that he would be decent, nothing suggests to me that he would be a complete failure after a starting a run of games. Something fishy is going on here i suspect.

Guest Stephen927 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I notice also on the official site he has made 9 appearances for the club. Could this be significant in terms of any extra fee to be paid to Depor if he plays 10 games for us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'd say just play the bastard. Why the hell not. Assuming there isn't some stupid clause in his contract as mentioned above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving some coin at the expense of playing someone who could potentially help us out when we are already severly lacking quality in his position. But then again id look like a complete fool for saying this if it was confirmed that he was utter garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be significant in terms of any extra fee to be paid to Depor if he plays 10 games for us? I'd like to think that when buying a player for some not insignificant coin (£5-6m, iirc?), it's assumed that you're going to want to play him more than 10 times.

I'd like to think that when buying a player for some not insignificant coin (£5-6m, iirc?), it's assumed that you're going to want to play him more than 10 times. Portsmouth did something even dumber when they bought Williamson from Watford for a couple million. Pompey hadn't played him by the time we bought him cos it would have activated a clause that meant the fee rose to £3m. It's daft and I'd like to think the club has more common sense than that. I'm just throwing a few theories around, this has got me puzzled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 i'm not his biggest fan and if it was up to me i'd have got shot of him ages ago but after Lovenkrands woeful performance at the weekend i would be tempted to give Xisco his chance this week, although i would have him in the reserves first on Tuesday to sharpen him up!! The lad rarely shakes a leg and is lazy but would dangle the carrot of a chance in the first team if he performs in the reserve game. If he doesn't play in the reserves then there's no point even considering him for the Bolton game as he won't be fit enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 The club still has to many bad players like this bloke who we haven't got shot of which means when we're struggling for injuries we're left to rely on people like him rather than having real solutions in the squad.

Guest schmuck Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Watched a few Santander matches last season, and he really did not look that bad. Not a clinical finisher, sure, but good at keeping up the ball and finding players with space. This is pretty much exactly what I've thought in the few glimpses I've seen of him for NUFC, so it's nice to hear that hear he definitely has those qualities in his locker - but that makes it all the more frustrating that, for unknown reasons, he appears to be unfancied. Stranger still he did noticeably well on his last appearance (OK Villa were shot by this point, but what can he do about that). Maybe his attitude stinks, maybe he just needs to feel loved but, in Hughtonspeak, what he is is a promising player, and he's one who I'd very much be looking to use this season.

Doctor Zaius Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Absolutely no way he'll start against Bolton. I'd love to know why though, it's an absolute mystery. My guess is extra fee's that Ashley doesnt want to pay added onto his transfer fee based on appearances like. Bizzare situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be significant in terms of any extra fee to be paid to Depor if he plays 10 games for us? I've always thought that was bollocks since the time when he was an injury time 'wind the clock down' sub at WBA away (when Kinnear got ill). Surely if we owed money after x appearances we'd have put someone else on for the final 90 seconds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Oh and good to see he's playing for the reserves. Wonder if that's because he'll be involved one way or another and needs the fitness? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
