oldtype Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's funny seeing how sentimental people get over players, especially average one's like Nolan. Weird isn't it, you'd think he'd scored 30 goals for us from centre midfield in the last 2 seasons or something. Jesus, the way people drool all over Kevin Nolan you'd think he'd scored a hat trick against Sunderland or somehting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't take us forward. Give me cheap, foreign mercenaries any day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, still you can't stop your best players leaving when the top clubs come in for them. It was only natural that he would be in such demand after scoring so many goals.

Sifu Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's funny seeing how sentimental people get over players, especially average one's like Nolan. It was what he had done in the last two years that generated such sentiment imo. He made a massive contribution in the Championship in getting us back up and all that. Then he scored 12 goals last season, 3 of which were against the Mackems in one of the highlights of the season. Without his goals, we would have arguably went down. Or with a decent midfielder that contributed more to our general play we might have finished top half. We were two minutes away from the top half.

TRon Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 For those of you old enough you might remember Keegan selling Gavin Peacock and David Kelly after we won promotion despite the fact both lads scored for fun. It's why fans are fans an managers are paid to manage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Why does everyone always feel the need to take the most extreme position? Why does every player have to be either godlike or not worthy of the shirt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a better midfielder instead of a passenger for the majority of the season who's to say we wouldn't have got it comfortably? If's, but's and maybe's etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 How was your round the world cruise btw Baggio? You know, the one where you conveniently missed our entire relegation and season in the Championship before coming back when we were back in mid-table of the Premier League. Did you bring us back any rock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Does that mean we should be giving him a 5 yr deal then? CaulkinTheTimes George Caulkin Nolan on way to West Ham for medical. Those criticising him for 5yr deal request - it was a negotiation! Would have taken less, but wanted time so could get family settled in schools etc. Once club accepts bid writing on wall.

Yes he did say that, but if Keegan really wanted him to stay I think he would have. I think he saw the writing on the wall personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nobody is unaware of his limitations. Nobody claims he is some sort footballing phenom. Would it not have been beneficial to keep him as a squad player though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
