Mike Oxlong Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 So it’s looking like we recruited two defenders who were at the point of not being good enough to get in the side that is going to finish bottom of the league. Genius 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Honour Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 What’s he actually done wrong? Rodgers wanted him and Rudkin I assume negotiated the contract. never ever good enough, but just shows how badly this club has been managed the past few years.

Taking a huge wage with no desire to ever get on the pitch and put in a performance, basically treating this club as a cash cow and a pension fund. One of our worst ever signings for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 7 June 2023 Share Posted 7 June 2023 If players are a decent enough standard, fit and compete in training, they improve the levels of the other players around them. The simple fact of football is that you need backup players. The fact he wasn’t even capable of doing that for large proportions of his time here just makes this worse. Luckily we didn’t pay a transfer fee for him. I was going to liken him to Michael Ball who was a left back, verge of finishing his playing career, then we signed him and did nothing. Ball got released after some dodgy Twitter stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure £70-80k a week has been mentioned, which is astonishing and sickening all in one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d been able to train and improve the ability of our crap right wingers during his stint with us, it would have been worth it. The reality is, he spent most of the time in rehabilitation and the treatment room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
