Almost forgot he existed, never realised he now plays in China for Changchun Yatai. Was extremely highly rated around the time we signed him, and did a number on Chelsea in the CL didn't he? Yes, I seem to remember Pat Nevin raving about him. Bumped into Okore in the away end at pre season friendly at Walsall. Good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a really bad injury didn’t he? Maybe one of the reasons he never really fulfilled that potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I’d love us to sign Smith-Rowe but just cannot see it happening sadly… Francisco Trincao is being linked with Wolves and people call for Neto which ain’t gunna happen either so why not make a cheeky bid.

I think you're right, yes, he did leave on sort of bad terms didn't he. Just as a side note, even Eric Black would make a better coach then that fraud England have right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree with the wider sentiment, before that injury I genuinely thought he was going to be class for us buddy. Any how, let's move on, I'm getting shivers thinking back to that dark era Edited June 20, 2021 by yayoboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 have there been anymore links to Sander Berge? Thought he looked class before he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I remember watching us beat Leicester 2-1 at VP the season before relegation and being absolutely certain that Okore and Clark would be an excellent PL centre back pairing. Think Okore had the ability in fairness but I think the injury took a lot out of him before he'd even managed to find his feet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he def spit the dummy at the end and acted liked a tool, which was a shame as looked like the second coming of Ugo before he was injured. Eric Black def the worst manager we've ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a complete joke mate and he has an OBE for services to football already too. It will be Sir Gareth soon if we get through to the qualifiers, which we will. Sooner he goes the quicker we will have a genuine chance of winning a tournament. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 So far we've signed a 36 year old and player that only scored once the last time he was in the premier league and that Norwich wanted to sell and there wasn't much in the way of other takers for. Still a lot of work to be done. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
