Pilko Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Imagine playing in the Premier League for best part of 10 years with a year out to win a Championship trophy, winning an FA cup and paying in European competition and being told you've "wasted your career" Then again @Stifler I guess the lad isn't up during the day writing on a forum about a guy he doesn't even know, no maybe he's been too busy you know with playing for Premier League football teams, earning more money in a week then what people on here will earn in a year, getting to go home to his wife and child at the end of the day. If he puts in the work then one day when he's at work he might score the winner in a derby, with a bit of good luck he might even score the winner in a cup final. Aye but go ahead, mock the lad on his wasted career, because he's got nothing on any of you. I mean how can compete with half the people on here who one day if they work hard enough and sacrifice all their time possibly including time supporting us, or even valuable family time then one day when some of you go to work you might be promoted to the position of deputy shift supervisor at the Tesco's down the road, or possibly even PA to the PA, to the PA of the big boss.

Definitely got better value than Leicester on that deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Must be pound for pound one of the best signings we ever made value-wise. He was obviously never worth £30m that we got for him, but he gave us some really good years and scored some important goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Always liked him, was my favourite player amongst some of the sides we put out during his time here. Wish him well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Really liked him here but he is a very weird footballer in terms of positioning. £30m was a crazy fee for him looking back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timnufc22 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Granted the whole Ashley circus was so uninspiring, but for me it felt like that zip and infectious enthusiasm in his play, which was a big part of his quality when he first arrived, had waned after a few years.

Joe1984 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 For the money we spent on him, we got a sound return. Both on the pitch and when we sold him. I like Perez and wish him well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Funny how systems can just click under quality managers. Take the similar sort of game spell under Keegan where we only had 3 players with any legs (Enrique, Beye & Martins), a midfield of Geremi, Butt and Barton with Owen just off Viduka and Martins. On paper and going by how those players were going, nothing should have worked, but it was a thing of beauty. The Spurs 4-1 away is still the greatest away performance I've seen, should have been about 12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big fee he went for, i don’t think he was ever in that category, although he certainly had his attributes. What worked for him here was the low expectations based on arriving for 1.5m or whatever that silly fee was. He always over delivered for us based on that.
