Foluwashola Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Must say I was quite dissapointed when we didn't get him but the way things have turned out we didn't need him and he would be of very little use next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It's basically like in FM where you buy a player you don't need because he's on the cheap. Or worse - Whelan buying Moses just to spite/trump Ashley as part of their JJB/Sports Direct feud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It's basically like in FM where you buy a player you don't need because he's on the cheap. Or worse - Whelan buying Moses just to spite/trump Ashley as part of their JJB/Sports Direct feud. That's always been my suspicion. A young, unproven player who still needs experience is hardly the signing that a team fighting relegation would go for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I wasn't being critical, I would have been one of those people. He looks a promising player but I don't think he would have dislodged shola, Carroll or loven and next season we couldn't afford to blood him in. So basically the same as ranger. That's not being critical of anyone, it's just how I think it would have played out, I would have still liked to have gotten him though (if it didn't stop us getting more proven players we need for next season).

Cajun Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I doubt he would have got many more games if he came here and people would have been questioning whether he was any better than ranger/suggesting he spends next season on loan elsewhere. You're starting to get ever so critical of our fans up there on your high horse Mr Jon sir To be honest you are the second person that has said that to me recently and unfortunately both posters are those whose opinion I respect so I will hold my hands up and although my posts aren't intended to come across like that they obviously are. I just don't like there always having to be a negative with every positive and we always seem to right off/dislike out players very quickly. Even this season when we have had not too much to complain about we have found something, there has been some pretty harsh criticism (imo) at certain parts of the season towards (off the top of my head) Hughton, Simpson, Guthrie, Steven Taylor, Carroll, Rangers, Nolan, Jonas and very randomly Routledge who I don't think could have done much more here. I am a hypocrite too because I have dished out a fair bit myself. Even Best has been completely written off already and again I am a hypocrite for saying that because deep down he isn't in my ideal squad for next season. I know he hasn't shone or even looked anything better than poor/average so far I just feel we (including me) need to give our players a bit more breathing space and calm down on the criticism at times because we can all go a lot over the top. Anyway as I said, I apologise if I have come across a little "high horse" (which I obviously have) as it was never my intention. I just get frustrated at times with negativity and am obviously condescending when I vent those frustrations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Moses reminds me a bit of Martins - much rushing about but little end product. With his one good cross he did lay on a goal for Wigan yesterday though, and that got them back into the match in a real way. He has pace but it needs to be combined with thought.

Stu Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thoughts about this a year later? Remember feeling disappointed that Wigan pipped us to him, although not to the extent that some people took it. Did we baulk at paying the higher fee?

Dokko Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Still early days for him, however I think he made the wrong move, should have joined us and would still take him here. Injured at the moment isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Cheers lads, here's what I said. There's also another post where I called ChrisKenobi 'Trevor'. £2.5m, absolute bargain. Very disappointed, looks like we have missed out for certain now. He's had his injury problems there, hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
