Guest reefatoon Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Have no idea what you are going on about mentioning local lad? What does that have to do with him being absolute garbage? Or are you giving him more benefit of the doubt because he is a local lad. no matter where he is from, he was fucking abysmal. Nice one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 shola would not have played for us any where near the 14-15 years if he wasn't a local player. His faults were far from simply origin and consistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Shola has a dodgy hip, doesn't he? Might explain his fitness issues. Always thought he got a lot of unfair stick, when his only crimes were being a local lad and having consistency problems. Far worse players in terms of commitment got free passes - Colo, Wjinaldum, etc in recent times? Shola's a decent lad by all accounts and I wish him well for the future. I don't see many getting free passes tbh. Especially Colo, Gini and to a lesser extent Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 His main crime was being a crap footballer. I still think it's a bit weird though, surely even someone who's 3rd or 4th choice in the PL should walk League One. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's a bit weird though, surely even someone who's 3rd or 4th choice in the PL should walk League One. Not really. Lots of fringe players in the Premier League are only in the league because they are local to the club they're at, Shola, Ramage in the past or alternatively in the league because they got promoted with a club, for example Stephen Ward at Wolves and now Burnley wouldn't be a good player in League 1. Shola is also nearly 35 now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 He was a good player up to about 2005. Not a world beater but good enough to be a 3rd choice Newcastle striker. What happened then I always think is unfair on Shola as especially the fans have forgotten the sacrifice he made. He injured his hip, he should have had surgery right away but instead Souness and Roeder and the clubs medical staff persuaded him to put himself on the line for his club and slave away on the left wing with pain killing injections for over two years. He wasn't training half the time he was so bad yet he did what he did because the managers asked him to help the club. Ultimately by the time he got to have surgery, he fucked his leg up so bad he stopped becoming a viable footballer. This man gave far more heroism to this club than most ever will and paid the ultimate price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Doesn't matter how much of a nice guy he might have been, he was absolute shite for the majority of his time here. Not his fault, mind, it was a succession of shite managers and coaches who persistently put him on the pitch. Sadly Shola just reminds me of a dark time, where the club buried it's head in the sand about the quality of player actually required at the top level. It's a virus the club can't seem to shake off, although at least we know Rafa won't fall foul to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
