Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I just remember far better players not getting anything like this kind of love when they left. I'm all for appreciating his efforts but this is a pisstake. We're well shot of a nice guy but an awful player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's misplaced. Give him credit for trying by all means but what's gonna happen when a genuinely good player leaves when he doesn't really want to? Does that ever happen? I am struggling to remember when a genuinely good player left the club against their will. Scott Parker (mixed opinions on how good he was) was reported to want to stay but I can't think of one since then. Edit: Joey Barton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Who in this squad would you give a better send off too then Ronaldo...you don't rate our current captain and vice captain who have been good servants as well. Struggling to see who amongst this bunch you want given a good send off and not being a piss take. Do Cabaye and Ben Arfa deserve the best send offs because they've got the most talent? That how it works? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Parker, Bellamy, Robert. Yup I mentioned Parker, both he and Bellamy carried on playing at a high level. Robert had been great but was a spent force when he left though, did nothing afferwards. Those were all a few years back, no one for the last 6 years unless you do count Barton, whose on going value to the club was debateable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Joey Barton Possibly Carroll, although that deal was inevitable for the money involved. Maybe - there was clearly a desire for the club to cash in (rightly imo) but I do think Carroll wanted out as he was offered a staggering wage that we wouldn't match. I suspect he may have had some regrets since though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCONA Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I just remember far better players not getting anything like this kind of love when they left. I'm all for appreciating his efforts but this is a pisstake. We're well shot of a nice guy but an awful player. We had him for 5 years and theres no way he's been an awful player for that whole time. Last couple of years he's been poor to average but only a handful of games he's been 'awful'. When we signed him he was very highly rated across the globe. Both Messi and Maradona have publicly stated their appreciation of him in the past. Robert also had plenty of awful games for arguments sake..

Hughesy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bellamy and Robert, although better players than Jonas, were difficult characters that divided supporters with their antics. It isn't exactly a surprise that people might look to the character of the player in question when expressing emotions relating to the player's departure.

Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Robert got more goals and assists in his last season as a starter than Jonas did in his entire 6 seasons with us. I don't care if he smiled for the cameras or not. All I care about is the application of quality on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We really have become shockingly small time, man. I don't remember this level of sadness for Robert's departure, and he had ten times the talent this carthorse does in his penis. Fwiw, I'm not arsed.

I don't care if he smiled for the cameras or not. All I care about is the application of quality on the field. Why does it even matter? Robert didn't get the same send off because he didn't put in the same amount of graft as Jonas. Obviously graft isn't everything and players like Smith and Butt put in effort, but were totally awful. Jonas wasn't albeit for one season when he was. He had his faults, but people will always appreciate effort if you have something to offer the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Dont get this well done for being a good servant to the club stuff. Gets paid £50,000 a week to be like that. I'd be a good fucking servant for that money like. If by good servant we mean he wasn't a fucking massive bellend like Barton, and wasn't causing trouble then fair enough. Anyway, good servant, a very nice lad, bang average foootballer. Bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the personality of players should be glossed over like this. IYAM, you fill your squad full of talented pricks, you'll win fuck all.

Well i would say in Jonas's case, he was being paid and playing for a club in a league above his actual ability. Hence him not really wanting to leave, and a manager who picked him no matter what. Now that manager no longer picks him, he wants to go and play. I admire him for wanting to play, but maybe i'm a bit cynical but i'm going to fawn over his loyalty with my view in the sentence above.
