One of the better things that RL did on his return, Davies was obviously finished with top class football and RL managed to get 1.3 million and Pulis for him.Could have bettered it by not getting Pulis I suppose.

How the mighty have fallen. He was brilliant for us.

 

I find it crazy to think he has to drop to League 1 to get his career back on track.

 

Be interesting to see how he does.

too many injuries in a short period.

As indeed I pointed out at the time this really was Rupert's masterstroke - getting 1.3m for a player who was never likely to play seriously again! Although didn't he also negotiate £8m for Dean Richards or was that before his time? So even the evil duckhunter occasionally did something in our interests.

to be fair to Lowe one of his strengths was getting good deals for when we sold.

Richards was good value at 8m when we sold him, I don't think even Rupes could have known the misfortune that would befall him.

 

Old Rupes always got us good money for players who left, just a shame other than that he was a monumental ****.

It took a while for Burley to get a class centre half in but he did the biz with this guy. Was sorry when he left and I hope he gets his career back on track.

That's all the practice he got selling every player that wasn't nailed down.

RL played a good game of poker and for a while it worked but like all gamblers his luck ran out and he made many mistakes, perhaps the most of all with his managers...should have held his nerve !!!!!

Not a happy bunny.

Was thinking about this the other day. Which other players did we have on our books that should have achieved more but for injuries? David Hughes is an obvious one. Any others?

[Redondo Saint]

David Hurst

Ronnie Ekelund

Some very astute observations, regarding Messrs Pulis and Bignall.

I liked the reference to the latter, 'runs like Linford Christie'. Would that be with, or without the 'lunch-box' ?.

Richard Hall springs to mind... Really good question actually.

 

You could argue that had Michael Svensson stayed fit, we never would've got relegated.

 

I guess Jamie Redknapp doesn't count.

Almost certainly so.

 

I thought Andrew Davies was completely over-rated by most fans during his time here and am not surprised he has achieved little sice he left.
