Sifu Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Whilst I still don't agree with the transfer, I can understand the reasoning behind it for both the NUFC board and Nolan. I've got no ill feelings towards Nolan mind so good luck to him. Thanks for the last two years, I shall miss the Chicken Dance. Now that it's confirmed, would just like to repeat what I said last night really. Fantastic servant for the club and I definitely wish him all the best. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D4ETKzWKvpE/TZeORCVEuZI/AAAAAAAAAGs/sxZYolMydfY/s1600/toon+2.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 All the best. Wish he'd given us another season but I wouldn't want to have him on the wage bill in 2016 still, so if West Ham consider its worth spending 16 million on giving him a retirement paycheck we can't be expected to match it.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 £5m he'll have made in wages as a Championship player with ourselves & West Ham for two years work. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 A little gutted about this. Maybe a little naive given how things have turned out but would really have hoped club and player would have found a way for him to stay one more season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Problem Chimp Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sad to see him go and appreciate all he's done. In some ways the club have done him a favour by letting him get his 5 year contract now. He was never going to get it from us and if his form/fitness declines to the level that a fair few think it could, then it's less likely he would find someone else to offer it, in a year or two. Good bloke, good player, will get filed somewhere near Warren Barton, Gavin Peacock and Philip Albert for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yeap, yeap certainly. As I said, probably naive and idealistic to expect any different given what West Ham have been willing to offer him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe that, fair play to you, but all we have is your word on that. I don't really take Nolan's decision to take the offer of 5 years at a championship club as much evidence for it, if that's what you are implying, either.

I can't imagine the club had any idea someone would offer him a deal like what he's got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 There's absolutely bundles to thank him for if you ask me. Pretty well gutted that he's gone tbh; can't believe he's at fucking West Ham. Oh well. Not irreplaceable but i fear for the impact this will have on the rest of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Much respect Big Kev Wish he hadn't left but it's understandable if that's the length of contract he was after. Will always be a hero up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
