Condimentalist Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I never thought he was moving anyway. Good option from the bench, albeit an expensive one. Hope he's not out for too long. He doesn't bring anything different, he has one good game in every ten he plays, enough is enough of these players sitting on a nice wedge not giving their all. Are his wages really that high? I would imagine not since he only came from Wigan, who aren't exactly owned by some arab sheikhs... He wasn't but I believe a few clubs were after him and at the time we signed him we were throwing big wages at players I'd expect him to be 50k+ easy mate. Well he's very direct and he does have a bit of quality (just no brain). Very frustrating player but, as I say, a good option from the bench IMO. For example, that vital 3 points against Stoke, Lowton's screamer doesn't happen if N'Zogbia doesn't come on, beat a man and get a decent shot in to force the corner.

Biggest goal of season, free kick v West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 A none specific injury, to be out for a unknown period. Smells fishy to me. Dunne!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the point whilst the the transfer window is open (or about to be)? We could get a couple of mill for him now. Dunne was different in that he was old, fat an on a huge contract... He would've been a lot harder to get rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks like he'll still be here then, which is dissappointing, with his 60k a week wages I'd imagine selling him on could be crucial to signing another player in that CAM role that was kind of given to him last season. Hopefully just offing Ireland will be enough. I very much doubt he is on 60k. Would be surprised if it was as much as 40. I thought it was quite widely accepted that Given and NZogbia were both on 60k a week. A quick search shows that a lot of newspapers put him on between 50-65k when he signed. Mirror - 50k (but with Nzo holding on for more at their time of writing) Telegraph - 60k Daily Express - 65k Guardian - 65k I know newspapers normally inflate the prices a bit, but I'm sure it was widely regarded he was on 60k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2013 The press seem very keen to play up to the mysterious nature of his injury. So, what can you do to yourself in Vegas that's likely to have put you out of the game for three months? I'm going to go with him having caught his knackers in the workings of a roulette wheel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm putting it down to a night on the craps, I reckon he has put his back out Out for 3 months due to the craps. Nasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Oh well, if we can't sell the tool, an injury will hopefully mean we can claim of the insurance for a while. If he is on 60k per week and out for 3 months, thats some 750k saved (or half a Luna)! And if he was being a prick when he got injured, we could probably fine him a couple of weeks wages too.

brummybloke Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 was hoping we could move him on this summer while he is capable of a moment of magic, that is rarer than Bennett not trying to cut inside and falling over each game he is on big money, anything over 4 million we should snap their hands off I would have thought a team like hull would go for him, I think he would probably get more consistent at a team like that as well sad to see he is injured as we have less chance of moving him on Ireland is the next we should be pushing towards the exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Sounds like we weren't trying to sell him now anyways...but I can see us selling him in January for 8m to a desperate side that thinks he can help them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
