Tsunami Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I remember being told we had a deal agreed before we’d signed Trippier. Henderson also said he’d agreed terms but he (Henderson) apparently changed his mind in favour of a loan as he thought with a new manager at Man U he might get a chance. I’m quite pleased we missed on Lingaard and absolutely delighted we ended up with Pope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar things have been mentioned in the ASM thread Expand Aye. what’s funny is people must think the other reasons I listed are valid. There’s something about confident black players that dance that seems to rub some people up the wrong way and decide something is defective in their character. Pogba, Vini Jr., Lingard for example. It’s not just football, it’s something about the dancing NFL player that riles people up too apparently. On 19/01/2023 at 13:34, Conjo said: Or it could be because during his 9 years or so playing PL football, he's been mediocre at best in a good team with the exception of a 4 month period at West Ham which didn't justify spending so much money on someone who is entering the final few years of career. A quick glance on a Forest forum indicates that people generally thinks he's had a positive influence in around the club (raising their profile, fan excitement, contributing to a good dressing room atmosphere), but performance wise not very good although it looked like he was improving slowly right up until his injury. Seems we got all the positive things he brought to them in Trippier, with the added bonus that he performs in matches as well. Expand This would be valid if people weren’t against a 6-month loan when Murphy and Fraser were due to get plenty of minutes. All while being in a relegation fight. In the summer, we wouldn’t match his very high wages - extremely fair. On the next. People are entitled to not rate him as a player. People are entitled to dislike the lad personally. But as far as I know, he’s never done anything egregious to suggest he’s a bad egg like drink driving, committing assault or owt. And plenty are/were happy to have those characters in the dressing room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
