Willow Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 hasn't changed much from what little i've seen of him this season. Decent at times, still likely to drop a clanger. what defender doesn't? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Felt he was our best player last year, don't know why people are so eager to have a dig at him. Sure I'm disappointed that he left, but this is a player we bought for 500k and sold for 8-12m so I'm not complaining like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Pretty much forgotten about him tbh. Tragic how, after years of problems with the centre-backs, we finally unearth an absolute gem and we're relegated the same year. Total bastard how he and Faye were only at the club for one year each.

This never goes down well, but Faye was never that good here. Massively over-rated in fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Disagree but i can't remember enough about him to establish a convincing argument. I could go down the black power route but that might open a can of worms, so i'll just say he was really good. He definitely wasn't 'massively overrated' though.

Mowen Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Could have done a job in centre mid for us last season too, I remember him having a very good game there at Stamford Bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember him being very flat-footed as a centre half. Was far better at Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if you want to open a proper can of worms, you mention him leaving after falling out with Keegan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Faye was pretty solid for us but I agree to an extent that he was a tad overrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 He really did, aye [played well at def mid]. Played against Chelsea and then at home to Manchester City in successive games, and played really well in that deep position. In all seriousness, i thought Faye was a quality centre-back. He absolutely dominated the air and was deceptively quick. Whilst he was more of a bruiser, and Bassong being better with the ball at his feet, they'd have made a quality little partnership. For next to nowt n'all. As well as he's done this season, selling Faye and buying Coloccini last summer has to be one of the most shite transfer decisions ever.

Guest BooBoo Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Once Faye fell out with KK he was only going to be sold. Once Keegans been crossed, he never forgives/forgets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Probably true. Aaaanyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I think Faye was liked because we had players with a lot of attributes that could make them fantastic defenders but they didn't use them nearly enough (bramble/boumsong) then we get this no nonsense beast who knew his limitations and used what he had to good effect. I liked Faye, he was definitely better than the previous Faye I backed to do well for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well put, Jon. Faye was very good, perfect foil for Colo if ever there was one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 We've had a decent run of signing efficient defenders, its just a shame it hasn't correlated to signing efficient/creative midfielders too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I was pretty upset when we sold Faye, would love to still have him. On Bassong, from what I've seen looks solid, not like he was with us, but certainly shouldn't be slagged off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Faye wanted to move to the North West though, the only falling out he had was with the other players with African roots once he had a fight was CNZ. As Tony Pulis said at the time of signing him "He wants to move back to the North West" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hmmmm think he would have stood out in the Championship if he had stayed, he would have been a class above but going to Spuds I think he has looked ordinary at best. Still lots of time for him to improve though, however I can see Harry not wanting to wait for that to happen and buying a CB to fit in a head of him in the squad.

localshop Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well put, Jon. Faye was very good, perfect foil for Colo if ever there was one. Based on his performances in the Prem, the perfect foil for Coloccini would be playing another five centre halves behind him to try and cover all his mistakes. Butt and Smith provided no cover for the defence last season as they were slow as shit. Get off his back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a charity game years later KK met Bez with "Hi John, I hope you're not going to tell me to fuck off today." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
