Dokko Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It'd be a good plan if Steven Ireland wasn't completely shit, tbf. He looked alright, hard to judge through the injuries, wouldn't say no to another loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 stephen ireland can fuck off. there'd be only one positive thing about his singing and that would be that it'd be at a 'knock down price' and quite frankly i'm sick of every single singing being based on that first and football second.

Dokko Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looked alright? He played 49 minutes. Exactly, you couldn't call him completely shit, he looked alright when he came on, would liked to have seen more. Alan smith coming on against WBA was completely shit. And like I said, hard to see through the injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Pardew's thanked Nolan for his efforts, and confirmed it's down to the length of contract that he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Something I just thought about whilst reading on the Chronicle website and seeing the related articles down the right; I'd almost completely forgotten about the operation he had at the end of the season. Perhaps the club don't think he will recover brilliantly from this, or maybe the surgery uncovered something unsavoury for a player of his age.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Good point, but I think it's down to the contract West Ham offered and us getting a few million before his value depreciates further that's swayed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If NUFC have offered that deal, then it does show Nolan is only bothered about money 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Can't get excited by prospective signings until they have actually signed. No guarantee that they will want to come here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Oh I'm not saying that is *the* reason, just proposing that something like that could have influenced their thinking on the contract offer and eventual decision to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Anyone gone back to the start of this thread? You'd think people would be delighted just to get rid of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Anyone gone back to the start of this thread? You'd think people would be delighted just to get rid of him. I think the fact that SAM got him says it all. Im sure Pulis was also chomping, but Nolan must be too fat for stoke. Im glad he is gone, we can get a sports psycologist to replace his god like dressing room aura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JS Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Oh I'm not saying that is *the* reason, just proposing that something like that could have influenced their thinking on the contract offer and eventual decision to sell. But didnt kev say he needed that operation for some time before he had it done? If so, would you say it greatly affected the way he played, from say earlier in the season?

Dokko Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It was always down to the length of the contract. The club did the right thing, it protected itself and its future, just like what Kevin Nolan has done, protected himself and his future. No blame, move on. Good luck Kev, cheers for mauling the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I was going to post that as well neesy, in reality there's very little difference between asking for a longer contract and asking for a pay rise. Both cost the club more money and have to be justified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
