Did I read/hear somewhere over the weekend (think it was BBC Gossip column yesterday) that Nigel Quashie is going on loan from West Ham to MK Dons, and West Ham are still stumping up £20k wages when he's out on loan?

 

Would we consider a last minute request ourselves to take on that deal, or better it? I'm thinking he could play the defensive midfielder role in front of the back 4. Some have misgivings about Wotton, but I do feel we need a steely no nonsense guy in that role.

 

I think he only left us as he wanted higher level footie, but if he's considering MK Dons, let's get in there too.

He is not worth 2 grand a week now..let alone 20 grand...Hasn't played for such a long time and was never any good in the first place......Plus you'll end up getting relegated with him anywhere near your team. Agents involved here and an old mucker of Ince...

Not even as good as Wotton, Spiderman and not good enough for our reserves.

 

20 grand a week..beggars belief what he was on when he was here last time....Vastly overated.

I think he was given a rough ride by some down here and it wasn't justified,he did well for us but I think the whole relegation thing clouded the view of a few people.

 

I'd have him back,he's not scared of a tackle and he looks after the youngsters on the pitch.

Agreed .

 

I've no idea of his current level of ability as I've not seen him play recently but the Nigel Quashie of a few years ago is exactly the type of midfield hard man we need to back Hammond up . We lost the midfield at times on Saturday in all honesty , Morgan Schneiderlin for all his occasional flashes of talent may be a bit of a luxury we can't afford in the more hard fought games .

not the greatest player but always wanted the ball and had a decent engine...would be great in this league if he played like he did for us a few years back

No thanks - I heard he was a terrible influence & i didnt think he was a team player. Lost count of the amount of times he blamed other people for mistakes & took absolutely no responsibility for his own failings.

IMHO he was one of our worst signings ever.

Another example of the football world gone mad' date=' that sort of money for Quashie is lunacy[/quote']

 

 

My thoughts entirely. He was a good box to box steely midfielder and that is pretty much what we need at the moment in 4-4-2 world. But not him (and I don't honestly think he would come back anyway).

I think the fact that he was understood to have advised Theo to leave wouldn't have helped his case...

He should never pay for this club again, after his missed penalty at QPR in his last game (I think). He just wandered up the pitch not giving a toss, whilst QPR broke up the other end. I also heard that Doddy smacked him in the mouth after one stroppy incident.

Much better player than anyone we've got in centre midfield in his day but I fear he's a bitter old hasbeen with personality issues now.

Quashie stopped being effective for Saints when he self-styled himself as penalty/free kick/corner kick taker .... that really annoyed me because he clearly wasn't good enough.

 

Stick to what you're good at, Nigel.

I was told at the time he left that he had 'personal problems' down here, threats and all that stuff?

 

Also rumoured to have "personal problems" at the Skates before he left them.Strange how they follow him round isn't it ?

One of the first players Burley got rid of when he joined, apparently for being a disruptive influence. Apparently he shouted his mouth off once to often and shortly after Burley joined Prutton gave Nigel a good smack. Can't say whether that's true, it was just a rumour at the time, but these rumours seem to have followed him round.

Credit to him for wanting to get out and play and be willing to drop 2 leagues to do so, but do I want him here - thanks Nige but no thanks.

Posted

He's a grade A prima donna, not the sort of person we should risk disrupting the squad with.

 

As soon as we got relegated he was hawking himself round to Premier League sides, went up to Brum but asked for too much cash, so stuck it out with us and said he owed to the fans to stay after we'd gone down.

 

The Franchise are welcome to him.

not the greatest player but always wanted the ball

Unfortunately most of the time he wanted (demanded) the ball from team-mates, he was stood in the centre circle while they were 40 yards further forward.

Would rather plasy with ten men than have him back. Solid midfielder who would do a job for us but not worth the inevitable aggro that seems to follow him. We have a happy club, lets keep it that way.

How come we can believe the rumours about quashie but when it was about burley drinking and womanising it was different

 

How come you always suggest that nobody on here believes the rumours about Burley when we all remember the threads and posts about him when he was on here?

I think the majority of us realised the rumours were more truth then gossip, how he ever got the Scotland job is beyond me.

The nice lady at weigh****chers said Nigel is 2 stone overweight....She also gave me the names of all The Saints Web forum members attending and that ranged from 2-5 stone overweight.

She said I was her favourite.

 

Has Nigel played any games in a long time.....He is at the best place MK Dons.

Surely we are after Essien or Mascherano.

Womanising!!? Christ what sort of women would be game for a bit of old Georgie?

Didnt Prutton punch him in the face once at half time? I remember hearing that NQ went down to the dressing room when the team was losing (i guess he was injured) and started mouthing off about how bad they were playing and DP told him to **** off and hit him!

 

Of course this is probably complete fantasy and never happened but great story

I know he's Cr"p but surely even he will struggle to get them relegated. It will be a great shame for him to spoil his 100% record.
