Kooiman Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 I was a big fan when he arrived as it felt like the kind of signing the club needed in the wake of having so many wasters. I think for the fee we paid it has to be seen as fairly good business. He wasn't flash, but he played an important role in getting us back up and then keeping us in the division. He had to navigate some really tough things in his personal life while here, and yet I never got the sense he gave less than his all when on the pitch. His goal against Chelsea was massive for us and I hope wherever he lands next he finds success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to wish him well but it felt like he was just collecting his wages for doing nowt for the last few years. Glad to be shot of him finally, and I rated him when we were shit, so nothing personal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Isaac helped us back from the champo and seemed an all round good lad We've probably paid off the rest of his wages in advance. I don't think he'd just terminate his contract for nothing.

Teslact Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 For PSR we could have done this July 1st but probably waited to see if someone came in for him on a free. No bites, just let him go as it will cost us the same either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 I think he’d do a cracking job in the media when his career is over. Really intelligent and articulate lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon1984 Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 One of our current players could learn a bit from Hayden onto how to handle himself with dignity on contract issues. Good luck Isaac! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I feel like I say this every time he does something but Hayden would be a great pundit. He's got a great tone, everything he says feels thought through and intentional and he's not prone to outlandish statements for effect. Always comes acros as a proper top bloke imho.

TRC Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Good podcast. When he talks about Eddie needing a player to be willing to learn then seeing how Wissa goes through the motions. Can imagine Eddie wants him punted asap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine Eddie wants him punted asap Conversely you can see why he was so keen on Elanga. Personality and professionalism wise, he’s perfect. Unfortunately, despite (presumably) doing all the right things and putting the effort in, his output remains largely shite. But I do hold out hope that with increased training time next season things will improve. Agree with the opinion that Hayden seems a nailed on pundit of some description going forward.
