Tooj Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don't think we'd be any worse off this season if Nolan was still at the club. You can talk about the likes of Cabaye being his replacement, but it's moreso Ba. Agree. Especially as there's been many games when one of Tiote or Cabaye have been out or we had to play with Ba as a lone striker. Nolan behind Ba could have worked. Think it's been the right thing to sell him, looking at the longer term, though. In the same way that Nolan was looking to cash in on his best ever season, the club did the best thing by cashing in on him at his peak. He'll still get into double figures for West Ham this season and help them back into the Premiership. We've used his squad place for another couple of players, good deals all around. Absolutely. I was concerned when he left, mainly because i valued his place at the club as Captain more than anything else - and didn't think anyone would adequately step in. And whilst i said we'd be doing as well if he were still here, it's been a positive move for all parties, like you say. I honestly think if he'd have stayed and wasn't getting a game he'd have been a bad influence around the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically what happened to me, thought my leg had broken but turns out it's my knee....Anichebe was out for the best part of 2 years, wasn't he? And that's with professional sport physio and advice... EDIT: was also wearing adidas shinpads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Mongo Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Remember a few people on here saying it wasn't that bad a tackle at the time, absolutely woeful challenge. It was a woeful challenge, but there's no chance he meant to do that. His movement through the air was much slower than Anichebe's quick flick of a tackle, like intercepting an arrow with, well, Kevin Nolan. Still dangerous play and a red card, mind.
