Ian Taylor who was at the game said something had gone on between them (Mee and Wesley) before that tackle and I think he hinted that something had been going on throughout the game actually, prick indeed. Getting on for being... Do you mean 'nearly'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are posters on VT whose use of punctuation is a crime against humanity. I think you can let the odd idiom slide. Sounds like Big Wes is going backwards in the second tier of Spanish football. He was a gamble when we bought him, but that injury has absolutely destroyed his career. Really feel for the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Even without the injury I don't think he would have been good enough for us. Sadly, with the injury, he's now barely a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are actually that many actual malicious challenges resulting in serious injuries to be fair, so it would be a reasonable punishment in my eyes. If you knowingly end a player's career like Keane, you would be plumb out of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit of a pointless rule because no one would ever admit to doing it and it would be practically impossible to prove if that happens.

Dunno, it seems pretty obvious when they do it to me. How did we know Mee meant it? We do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His return for the games he played in that season was the same as Watkins and Ings for example (1in 4) and he was playing in a dogshit side. If you cannot feel sorry for a promising career cut short by a thug then I don't know what else to say. I just cannot label a career ending injury a total waste of money because we will never ever know if he was to be a success or not. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because how many managers have we had here? None of them have wanted to keep him. He has been on various loans and flopped So not sure why you can't see that?

VillaJ100 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) He wasn't great but appeared to be improving. How much he would have improved is impossible to say. Strikers with much higher standings and backgrounds have flopped in this league, look at Crespo and Shevchenko, Falcao etc. Different position but Modric is an ATG yet looked like a pub player in his first 3/4 of a season at Spurs.
