CaliMag Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Scott Parker was booed off the field today (as was the rest of the team) along with chants of "You're not fit to wear the shirt." I bet he feels unlucky - Charlton to Newcastle to WHam. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/23/west-ham-wolves-premier-league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker's problem was that he wasn't good enough for a top premiership side, and that while he was here some fans were yet to realize that we were not a top premiership side.

Parker's mani problem was that he had Nicky Butt or Emre beside him so we always had a central midfield of tiddlers who didn't really boss the game. That came second. His main problem was that he was neither nowt nor summat as a midfielder. Problem 3 was Glenn Roeder, who was never going to mould him into anything. So he was just another in a long line of cloggers and got found out very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I remember when we signed him thinking he could go on to be a Rob Lee for us. A goalscoring threat from midfield who could dictate play. He was basically though little more than more than a deluxe Alan Smith. Loads of effort but offered little from an attacking perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was basically though little more than more than a deluxe Alan Smith. Loads of effort but offered little from an attacking perspective. the big mistake was employing parker as a rob lee type, giving him too much attacking responsibility. as a holding midfielder he looked pretty good - he had a decent reading of the game, good stamina, strength, tackling etc, could hold the ball fairly well and pass it simply. ask him to do any more, as we did, and he looked pretty awful. pretty weird that we lined up plenty of times with Emre as the more conservative or defensive midfielder with parker ahead of him. it should have always been the other way round.

Once again Johnny is spot on. These were the years of Souness and Roeder though. Can't imagine which thick-headed turd appointed these two as manager followed by Fat Sam. Must have been a fat Coc...Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 at the time I thought the emre and Parker partnership would be an awesome match made in heaven. Unfortunately injuries and as Johnny said, both being given the wrong role it never did what it should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KeithKettleborough Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 My main memory of Parker is when he ran full pelt from one side of the pitch to the other near to the oppositions corner flag to dive in to put a ball out for their throw in. He was slightly injured and knackered for about 5 minutes and I thought, "What a waste of effort that was." Summed him up for me. Fantastic effort but the rewards from this were often pretty meaningless and not particularly game changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
