Jack Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 I'm sure I read that he's still on 90k pw, but Brighton are only paying a bit of that while he's on loan from Citeh. Not really the sort of deal we go after. And you say prem experience delldays - the only experience he's had in the last 4 years was sitting on the bench and picking up his ridiculous wages. That said, he does look decent enough today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 He's playing in the championship for Brighton, who are no great shakes, whilst performing well against Newcastle reserves. He was dire at WHU, awful at Sunderland, and that's why no one else took a punt on him at EPL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Because we had already had Shaw, who is better, we didnt have to pay a transfer fee and additional wages for him, and he would have been more likely to leave if he wasn't playing ?

Saint Garrett Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Was pretty good for west ham according to my mates. The problem when they got relegated, in their defence was Jacobsen and Upson who were dreadful, and Tomkins who wasn't ready. Think he could have done a decent job for us and would have been a better back up than Fox, but like other have said, we don't really go for 30+'s or loans from the 'big boys' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Because he's bang average? Way past it. Would be absolutely shown up at Prem level. Has been the past few seasons as well.

Saint Troy Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 i think management thought that fox would be up to more in the prem and at that point wouldve been seen very much seen as buying an old hand whos not amazing and getting in the way of shaw with two people above him in the squad. Bit of hindsight and maybe bridge would provide good support to shaw but i cant imagine a situation where we couldve sold fox in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 He looked good today. I went to watch Brighton v Newcastle, who were toothless. Good reminder why we got rid of Hammond. We'd have beaten both sides, although Brighton had a goo midfielder called Birdcutt or something. Was trying to stay awake. Hard being in other club grounds.

There when Franny scored Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 Brighton only pay 30% of his wages and Mancini described him as the least motivated professional player he'd ever experienced. I think that says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 5 January, 2013 Share Posted 5 January, 2013 they were taking the wee. the atmosphere wasn't great, and it was a bit dreary. and hammond was very slow indeed - not popular in the stands near me at least. ground's okay - good park and ride, but bit soulless. one thing they did do which i quite liked was put a video on before kick-off of big moments for the club right through the ages. Bit marketingy but seemed popular. Suspect newcastle coudln't give a toss about going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted 7 January, 2013 Share Posted 7 January, 2013 He's still being paid £90k of which Brighton are only paying 10. If we signed him properly we would have had to match that. Obviously loaning would be an option buy NA want's a proper team, not a bunch of temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender Posted 7 January, 2013 Share Posted 7 January, 2013 How is loaning a player for a season a "temp" Well if you bring someone in as a loan signing, another club is loaning him to you, meaning he is not there to stay permanently, more temporarily, hence the word temp.

Chez Posted 7 January, 2013 Share Posted 7 January, 2013 Were the Buttner transfer rumours really true?I was surprised we were looking for a left back seeing as it was clear Shaw was going to get games. Maybe they weren't ever looking for a left back, hence no interest in Bridge. I'd of taken him. He only looked poor when dropped in at teh deep end having played no games at all. Most players need games to get fully match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
