Fucking hated Nicky Butt. Utter, utter, shit.

 

Remember that pointless overhead kick at the time too. Just...why?

Up there with one of the worst players I have seen in a Toon shirt -  utter shite

Worst thing was that he hung around for ages, year after year after year, just because he was Nicky Butt.

That performance is the SF v Man U - good grief - the stuff of footballing nightmares

Could be my memory playing tricks on me but whilst it started badly for Butt I'm sure he had a season and half/or two where he was actually good for us 

I remember him been decent for a season at least. Was it not in the geremi butt Barton partnership.

Can't remember exactly but sure it was after he came back from his season long loan at Birmingham (where ironically he fell out with Bruce after he picked his knacker of a son ahead of him)

 

That season he played well as I remember a lot of fans saying he turned things around after the first season or two where he was horrific

I didn’t particularly like him but that’s way over the top. He was Zidane compared to Alan Smith for starters.

It was just so baffling that Smith kept getting starts, there were rumours at the time that he had some kind of clause in his contract guaranteeing him starts and it really could have been possible because no manager could possibly watch him and then keep picking him unless he was compelled to.

We signed Smith the summer I started following and besides Owen and Martins he was the only player I knew, so thought it was great despite what everyone else said. Learned from that quickly.

 

Just puts the Championship at time into perspective, we romped the league and he started 31 times :lol:

It’s obviously far too soon to tell if Gordon is going to be a decent or shite signing but facts are that he’s not looked all that amazing so far. Doesn’t mean he won’t, just not right now. But that’s a lot of money spent, if he wished away another 30m+ on a certified dud like McTominay, that would be a lot of negativity from supporters and probably the owners.. I just can’t see him being that stupid.

 

Gordon was a punt.. that’s fair enough, but we need to be bringing in players where the stats/data show exactly what we’re getting. Just like when Bruno signed. We knew we were getting a progressive midfielder.

 

Gordon should have had a couple of assists already tbf, some nice skills on show to create them as well. I think there's a player in there.
