austsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 I was thinking the same thing watching young Sims and even McQueen and Harry Reed (yes I know he's a DM, and a good one too) - would you really want that pair back on their massive wages and over inflated egos?

lloydie Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Got nothing against either of them, they left when we were outside of the prem to a good side. Did I miss something else?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Theo left us over a decade ago to join a PL club with big prospects. Ox did likewise. Can't remember if we were promoted when Ox left. Both have achieved more than if they'd stayed here. What a weird thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 Both ox and Walcott have won medals and played in bagful of champions league games Regular finishes in top 4 plus England caps If they stuck with us they'd have won promotion from league 1 and the championship oh and the JPT :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 No animosity towards either. They left in a different set of circumstances, and as I recall left with a fair degree of dignity. Unlike Nivea and Lovren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 I think what the OP might have been getting at is the present day players Ox and Theo may not offer much more (were they hypothetically back with us) than the early skills and potential of players like Sims and McQueen....throw in Hesketh etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris27687 Posted 30 November, 2016 Share Posted 30 November, 2016 It would have been pretty unfair on their careers if we had forced them to stay. The point is nowadays we can offer European football played in an attacking progressive style - so we should be able to keep hold of our academy players for longer / ever. Everyone do a MLT!

Both have achieved more than if they'd stayed here. What a weird thread. Ox won a runners up medal with us when we were promoted from L 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 1 December, 2016 Share Posted 1 December, 2016 People still clapping Chamberlain when he came on last night. He played for the first team for a short space of time then buggered off to a big club at the first opportunity. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
