Guest BooBoo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When he returns he will have been injured for what, over 18 months? We've got what we deserved though for ridiculously signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 next season will tell us a lot about whether the decision to sign him was a wise one. If he keeps getting niggles it'll start to look like we've got a dud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When he returns he will have been injured for what, over 18 months? We've got what we deserved though for ridiculously signing him. Eh? Buying a player with such a serious long term injury was always a stupid risk to take. However, it was a classic case of this NUFC regime identifying a player who could be picked up on a free and then hoping he would generate a large profit. Gosling wasn't signed because Hughton wanted him to be a first team player, he was bought due to the contractual loop hole meaning he was available for nowt.

midds Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If he's better than what's currently here (which, from what I've read and seen, he is) then I couldn't give a shit why he's been signed. We've got a load of dead wood picking a few hundred grand between them every week whilst contributing fuck all. They're the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a player who is free and has (apparently) decent potential just isn't enough, is it? This MUST be another of Ashley's plans to bring the club down.

Fair enough if he's been signed because he's a player who we'd want rather than a player who was available due to coming to the end of his contract. Would we have looked at him twice if his contract wasn't due for renewal at Everton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 We probably wouldn't have signed him if his contract was still running at Everton because we'd be looking at a fee of £5m+ for a player with a long-term injury. I stand by what I said at the time, it was a risk worth taking as we have got a player with bags of potential on our books for next to nothing. He's had some troubles with injuries but he is still young, I'd be worried if it was a player approaching 30 we were talking about. Chances are he'll come back next season and play a good role as a squad player, but with this club it's more than likely he'll be expected to start most games to cover for the players outgoing. That's where we might have a problem as he needs the time to be eased in gently after such a long lay-off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
