The Butcher Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Gifted? Limited player, not creative or much of a passer, worked hard, good presser and went on a few scoring streaks. Probably one of the best sales we've made as long as I've supported the Toon. Edited April 30 by The Butcher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Could be memory playing tricks but I'm sure he used to come alive after Jan and end the season in good form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an amazing athlete and not hungry to be the best player he could be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 2 hours ago, gbandit said: Was an extremely gifted player, mentally just not quite good enough. Didn’t have that desire seemingly to be the best I loved Perez but I wouldn't describe him as either of those things personally. His mentality was pretty strong given the amount of stick he got from the undead contingent of regular matchgoers. Really pleased to hear he's doing well over there as I had no idea. Was a real shame how he regressed at Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mean that his head dropped and that he gave up, he was a committed player, a bit like Miggy. I mean more in terms of self-belief. I don’t think he believed in the attacking elements of his game enough and he wasn’t aggressive enough with that part of his game. When he was on it, he was a fantastic player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Pardew Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Great player I brought in on the cheap. I remember his first goal for us against Spurs. Great win. Then Fat Ashley sold him for 30 million some years later. But I guess you lot don’t have to worry about such things anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The fact Spain have called up 3 lads who played for us when we were at our lowest ebb demonstrates really well the fact you don’t need to even be ambitious to attract good players, never mind European football.
