Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Parker had a great first season and a mediocre follow up. See also Beye, Habib. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yep although Oba's first season was hit and miss whilst both Parker and Beye were far more consistent in their first years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Barton is the biggest rival to Owen for the tag of biggest waste of money ever, apart from those two I'll add Marcelino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yep although Oba's first season was hit and miss whilst both Parker and Beye were far more consistent in their first years. You can't actually give him any credit can you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I liked Parker a lot, his twirls pissed me off at times but I liked him. I thought Barton was a better player, I had my doubts over his mentalness, unfortunately it has turned out much worse than I ever feared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Think he is still a better player. Massive waste of money so far though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ronaldo- I thought Oba had a decent first season sprinkled with some impressive performances. After that it was an extremely mediocre effort by a seemingly unmotivated player who's attitude was questionable, especially during the relegation season.

Dokko Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 It only dawned on me during the Boro game that it's been a while since he played for us. He is possibly our best player ability wise, so excited to see what he can add to us if were already playing well. Proof? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Out of interest who do you drop for him? Granted, he would get in ahead of Nicky Butt & Geremi (he's still in our squad...how?!) but neither Smith nor Nolan can be dropped from our starting eleven in this division. Maybe when we play 4-5-1 away from home he can come in alongside Smith in the middle (Nolan supporting), but this keeps Guthrie marooned out on the right where he's clearly not comfortable...despite being effective last week.

TRon Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'd play him ahead of Nolan any day of the week if his head was right. Unfortunately it never is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton and Guthrie are both central midfielders who have been forced to play wide to accomodate Nolan. For me Nolan's the worst of the three which is why we play rubbish football but he gets the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Guthrie is one of the CCC most creative players we cant drop him for someone as poor a Joey Barton............whats next bring in Geremi because that is the level were talking at when people talk about bringing in J.Barton. Fucking Pancake is in front of Barton as well. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalAssists/0,,10794~20097,00.html Guthrie does not have the traditional qualities of winger but I think it is fare to call him a right-sided midfielder. This he is centre midfielder talk is bollocks man he has played out on the right for so long now I think of him as someone who could cover if we were short of CM rather than CM playing out wide.

James Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Several games to play, plus an FA Cup run. We'll need them all by end of season, even Butt will have a minor use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm looking forward to Barton getting back. Were playing well and he's capable of taking the teams play up a notch. Anyone know when he may return? I see we're getting to that point where we forget how poor he is again. He's a back up player in my eyes, infact i would consider loaning him out just to save a bit of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
