morla84 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The problem with dishing out 6/7 year contracts, no incentive to try. Has been in decline ever since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It's one of the symptoms of running a club with the primary aim of preserving the balance sheet for so long. Especially when you compound that approach with scouting that completely neglects the type of personalities being signed. Remember KK and Bobby especially both saying first and foremost 'sign good people'. It sounds overly romanticised in 2017 but there's still an awful lot of truth to it.

LV Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If he gets back in the team and does an overhead kick in his own half we'll all love him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He's really overstayed his welcome here, bound to happen when you get offered a 6 year contract or whatever it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSC26 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He's a much better player than Colback, I don't know why we don't use him. He could help us get promoted and then leave on a free. We're going to sell him for next to nowt and it's an area we are light in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 All of these 'stay but don't play' money grabbing fuckers make me sick. Irrespective of the club they are at. What a shameful waste of talent, you're a long time retired and I sincerely hope the slightly more comfortable financial position they secure does not in any way compensate them for the regrets they have about the additional games/seasons they could have been a regular first team player (somewhere).

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He's a much better player than Colback, I don't know why we don't use him. He could help us get promoted and then leave on a free. We're going to sell him for next to nowt and it's an area we are light in. Maybe something has changed (I have not watched much this season at all), but this has not bee true at any point during Colback's tenure here, imo. Tiote has been a shadow of himself when he is actually fit for selection (which is rarely). His fall from the heights of being an effective Premier League player is remarkable. All of these 'stay but don't play' money grabbing f***ers make me sick. Irrespective of the club they are at. What a shameful waste of talent, you're a long time retired and I sincerely hope the slightly more comfortable financial position they secure does not in any way compensate them for the regrets they have about the additional games/seasons they could have been a regular first team player (somewhere). They have no regrets whatsoever, I guarantee you. A bad contract is not the fault of the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Can we not pay up his contract? Doesn't deserve it but at least will get him away from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Can we not pay up his contract? Doesn't deserve it but at least will get him away from the club.

We have to pay him either way, Rafa will only use him if he has to, otherwise he's clearly finished here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Perhaps stop giving contracts to players who nobody else wants? Only a couple days ago folk were suggesting we extend Sammy's time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a couple days ago folk were suggesting we extend Sammy's time here. I suspect these long contracts were a desire to make our balance sheet look better than what it is. http://www.nufcblog.org/2011/03/amortisation-and-how-it-affects-a-football-clubs-profit-figures/#.WIiQx1OLQuU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 There's a number in the squad who will be hard to shift mid contract. A few of them start regularly - Gouff, Anita & Colback. Nobody would want to pay any type of money for those lads even though 2 of them have been decent/good this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This guy is clearly running down his contract so he can get a sizeable signing bonus as a free agent. I don't know why he keeps pretending to be interested in moving during every window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
