the_eristic Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Heskey was definitely the most underwhelming one. I pretty much gave up on MON there and then as I knew we wouldn't finish in the top-four trying to accommodate a donkey like him in the team. I can remember exactly how sick I felt when Heskey was announced and we then proceeded to sign NOBODY else as we watched our starting eleven start burning out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGrath1874 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I was chatting my boss who's a Fulham fan, he said "For effort, you could give him 9 out of 10, For messing up at the worst possible time, 10 out of 10. For knowing where to position himself when defending, 3 out 10" Then he laughed and said "good luck" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Wow. That is um, well, what exactly does MON do as a manager? He doesn't so training, his transfers are shit and his tactics are pretty similar and basic every match. Edit: Sorry just realized this is off topic and probably been discussed a thousand times on here. Back to senderos...

Xela Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Better than the chuckle brothers at the back. With Okore hopefully fit then we should be a bit better at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Last season we screamed for another experienced head at the back - and now we've got a very experienced 29yr old international footballer who has yet to kick a football for the club but admittedly has made a couple of crucial errors (as do most defenders in their careers) in matches. Even more, in this current imposed frugal transfer window he was free and won't be on mindblowing wages. All we need is a better left back and I think our defence on a whole will be a lot stronger.

BigCarew Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes Senderos makes mistakes.. but I bet he makes less mistakes than Clark and Baker put together. Vlaar makes mistakes, but it always seems to be forgotten about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm more confident with Vlaar & senderos than I am with Clark & baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Heskey cost £3.5m? Wow. That is the most MON transfer ever. It wasn't the transfer fee that was the problem, it was the £50k over his 46 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
