villa89 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Difficult to tell if he really is shit if we don't see enough of him though, innit? No its not, just look at the players who got in the side ahead of him. If he couldn't get into our dire first XI this season its safe enough to assume he's awful.

Rob182 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 He was injured for a reasonable chuck of time, which was why he didn't get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSmith22 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 When he first signed I remember someone posted Youtube highlights of him with aab and I was immediately impressed even if the competition wasn't near PL. I still think the guy can play and I feel strongly something happened we don't know about that has held him back. His agent pretty much squashed the injury rumor. Still really hope he has a place here and if not I'll be keeping tabs on his development elsewhere so we can all say I told you so to whoever the doubters were.

Pembers Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Looked like an awesome player in his youtube highlights, but I guess that him and Tonev are proof that we shouldn't use youtube to judge players.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1874 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hopefully we'll get a new manager and Helenius can impress in pre season and be given a clean slate. Same with N'Zogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1874 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 He was the Danish league player of the season before he joined us. He can't be that bad. I hope we keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 And he still got a shot off. Should have been a pen mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Looked like an awesome player in his youtube highlights, but I guess that him and Tonev are proof that we shouldn't use youtube to judge players.. Agreed, however whenever we sign our next player YouTube will be my first and probably only source of reference. :-) Edited May 13, 2014 by myko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I like to see him here for next season, because i feel their is a better player really there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 He was injured for a reasonable chuck of time, which was why he didn't get a chance. As NSmith22 said, his agent spelled out that this isn't really true. Certainly his agent said he was fit and ready to take part in the last 5 games or so. During that time, Holt (loan signing with one goal and no pace), Bowery (signing from League 2 with no Prem goals who spent a lot of the season on loan in lower divisions) and Robinson (eighteen, never played before) all got minutes ahead of him. Bowery even started two of those games. This happened, killed his confidence. I guess you posted this as a joke, but I wonder if there's some truth to it? He'd been in around the first team squad before it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2014 This happened, killed his confidence. Every time I look at this it makes me marvel at the incompetence of the ref. i mean if ever there was proof that a penalty had to be given it was here. There are no excuses for him.

Rob182 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 HanoiVillan, I'm pretty sure he was injured until the last 3 games, not 5. I think Hull was the game that he got fit for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, there was the discussion the other week about having to go down for a penalty, and this is a case in point. He was impeded by the defender, and the ref should have pointed to the spot and red carded the defender. You can only imagine the uproar if this decision would have been made against Chelsea or one of the other top 4 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Seems he wants to return to AaB.. apparently agent quoted as him wanting to go back. http://onside.dk/superligaen/helenius-spoeger-i-aab The least surprising news I've ever heard . . . his agent was hinting at this months ago. I predicted it, but it hardly required being Nostradamus. It's been on the cards since Cornelius returned as well . . . the step up is just too big from Danish football. It's kind of understandable for PL minnows like Cardiff to make that sort of mistake, but we're supposed to actually know what we're doing in the PL. Should never have bought him, total waste of money and an embarrassing situation for all concerned. Okore is **** then !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GarethRDR Posted May 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2014 Just as a mildly amusing observation, Helenius (who cost, what, less than £1.5m?) has scored as many (or more goals) in England this season than... •Ricky van Wolfswinkel who cost ~£8.5m •Iago Aspas who cost ~£8m •Andreas Cornelius who cost ~£7.5m •Arounda Koné who cost ~£6m ...all of whom got more game time as well. It's simplifying a comparison somewhat, but it did elicit a titter. Hell, even with the amount Cardiff got from selling Cornelius back, their total outlay was still more than double ours. I hope he does get given a proper chance at some point rather than getting sold off, but if he does leave at least we didn't spunk away a heap of cash for nothing à la Balaban. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
