Guest neesy111 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Let this guy go, yet Happy Jack is still dicking around burning through oxygen. On 65k, hasn't played in 2 1/2 seasons for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Assuming Longstaff (Sean) gets somewhat back to the form we saw last season at some point (if that even happens with us again) then this will have been the right decision Which just comes to show how much of a stinker in form Longstaff is having right now to even consider this guy leaving being a mistake. He had the odd decent game but was mostly timid and not upto pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Let this guy go, yet Happy Jack is still dicking around burning through oxygen. On 65k, hasn't played in 2 1/2 seasons for us. One was willing to compromise on his contract in order to pursue regular first team football, the other knows he'll never earn close to what he does here and thus has no interest in coming to an agreement for termination of his contract with the club.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Some Korean account on Twitter on about family stuff, wants to go back closer to his wife's work or something like that. Probs sign for Celtic tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still in disbelief Bruce didn't make him a key player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ki is about short passes and movement, Bruce prefers long balls from the back and a big lad striker. Not even sure he knows how to implement that, but like the old days under Graham Taylor, probably just going off stats without even understanding them properly.

jackyboy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I liked this guy and feel he's been shit on by Bruce and the club. I'll bet they didn't pay up his contract either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I’m not sure how anyone can suggest that this decision isn’t good for both the player and the club. He hasn’t been hard done by, he simply didn’t do enough to deserve a regular 1st team place. I’d love to see a heat map of him on the pitch, he looks like a player who needs the game to be played at his pace and where he can be the pivot. Not suited to us at all.

Dokko Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Made about 3 noticeable passes in his time here. Shame, I'll miss the easy £5m bonus of selling him on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 He was decent for a squad player, not first team quality, not for where we should be hoping to be in anyway. I suspect he believes he stands a better chance of getting a club as a free agent in the near future, hence why he has agreed to leave. He’d do a good job for a Championship side.

Guest Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 He was 6th choice behind Shelvey, Hayden, Bentaleb & Longstaffx2. Was pointless him staying at the club when he'd likely not play another minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Regardless, he was simply just another in a long line of rather limited and in general shit players we’ve signed over the years. If only the club were as cut throat with the rest of the dead wood, but then that would leave us with only a handful of players... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Nah man, Ki actually respected himself and cared more about playing football on a pitch competitively with some pride for his career and his life's dedication and people like Colback are happy to just take money from their "boyhood club" and not be handed a squad number or play.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Colback is as bad as any mercenary in the sport mind. It’s the clubs’ fault though, paying the likes of him millions where on the talent scale, he ought to be non league at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played his part whenever called upon, whether he was anybody's cup of tea or not. He came because we had a shit budget and Rafa needed some reinforcements centrally. He clearly was not fancied by Bruce and not playing. So the chance he was able to get to leave the club to CONTINUE TO PLAY FOOTBALL, He left. How is he any way shape like Colback?

KaKa Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Far too good for the current team. Way too intelligent, technical and patient in his play. Not enough long balls, last ditch tackles and sideways and backward passing. I'm sure his life is infinitely better off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? He goes down as another Colback for me, a waste of a shirt and someone who if the club give a new contract to, would be happy playing a bit part til the end of his days. Where’s he at now?

You’re way off the mark here dude. Ki is 100 times the player Colback is. Just made the wrong choice in coming here for Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
