Grasshopper Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 How about we create a new trend? Multi-loan-2-4-1-getanother2freeafter5appearances system We could "multi loan" Gaby out to Reading, Hudds, ShefW, Derby & Fulham every week a different club Followed by the 2-4-1 being Hutton a week later also rotated to each club. (Both playing at one club then rotating wouldnt really be viable as noone would be stupid enough to field both for the same game) After the initial 5 appearances (1 at each club) they would get Westwood & Gardner free (they wouldnt even have to play them - just keep them) They wouldnt even have to pay the wages. I'm sure we'd find enough supporters willing to take care of the transport costs & logistics. In return we could ask Real, Barca, Bayern, ManU & Chelsea (you know like brotherhood European champions affinity deal) for Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Zlatan & Costa on a "once only" then "anyone else on your books" till the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire, go to China or the Middle East or something, just stop pretending you're a footballer in England and stop wasting our time and money.

I didn't expect amazing flowing football and think that he would would improve that with better players but his insistence on rehabilitating and now playing Gabby is very concerning. What must other players think and what message does it send out, basically if you mess about, treat the club with contempt there's still a place for you. I just don't understand how and why Gabby has not been put out on gardening leave. I do think Bruce has done the right thing (he's a manager not a fan) bringing him back and his timing is justifiable with the AFCON and perhaps even his record in derbies. However I take issue with not bringing on a kid for him at 70 when Bunn could do no worse. From now on I don't think he can start and Bruce should be judged more harshly if he keeps the faith under awful performances. I don't mind him coming on because we don't have many options but there's nothing to lose by having someone who at least plays the striker position as Gabby can't even do that. RHM really has missed out by not signing his contract, he could have been a genuine option to start for the whole month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear what you are saying and it's fair reasoning but to me I just think I'd rather see a youngster in his place in the squad. Gabby has not added anything to the team since his return absolutly nothing and to hear Bruce wax lyrical justifying his inclusion. about who is and what he has done in the past concerns me as he has now played a number of games all with no positive impact, no assists and no goals. Times up for him, would rather see an U23 given a chance, they couldn't do any worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that as manager the right thing to have done would have been to find a system that allows a proven goal scorer to do just that- not leave them gathering splinters, whilst the guy ahead of hiim really does not look like scoring or alternatively have a genuine goal scorer sign on the dotted line at 1 minute past midnight on the 1st January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing players is definitely not that easy unless you pay over the odds. Especially not goal scorers who don't require crosses. Also our squad is terrible, there aren't too many systems available especially when the experienced players are all forwards. Good to see Westwood and GG out but not much has changed up top. We still have players perfect for narrow football but without the talent to implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I remember the reaction when he scored that goal against Wigan couple of seasons ago. He then carried on and missed a sitter and we drew 1-1. What a waste of space!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
