The People's Hero Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 Joey quotes published by the OS today: The Icelander signed a pre-contract agreement in January to join the Dutch side on a four-year deal but revealed he was tempted to remain at the Walkers Stadium. Gudjonsson said: "I'm leaving with mixed emotions, but the decision has been made. "I was close to staying but the decision was made before Leicester came to me. I would've liked to have stayed, but I had to make a choice for myself and my family. "From a personal point of view, my time here has been good - I've enjoyed my experiences, I've felt at home here and I've improved as a player." "The decision was made before Leicester came to me....." I appreciate all of the above mate and don't get me wrong, it's nothing personal... I just don't see what Leicester could have done to keep him? You correctly identify that he was approached by AZ before Leicester approached him about a new contract, but that's not to say that the outcome would have been any different. If we couldn't afford to keep hold of him, it's irrelevant who approached him or when the approach came, we have to make our decisions based on the money we have and the players we want to keep. If in RK's mind we couldn't afford to keep him on or that it wouldn't have been worthwhile for the chunk of our budget it would have taken, then the club have done the right thing in letting him go.

All you say may be right but I think we dragged our feet on the issue (because we were sidetracked by the Levein situation) and therefore lost a good player we might have kept.

IMO yes as it has many many more features and greater depth, but I'm slightly biased You can download it here (you get 2 days free trial), or look out for the retail version named Marcus Trescothick's Cricket Coach in shops such as Woolworths and Tesco.

Chairman of the Bored Posted 8 May 2006 Share Posted 8 May 2006 Fair enough. Probably be a load more to go as well. Bruce is claiming he's had his salary cut by 50%. The poor mite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillcfc Posted 9 May 2006 Share Posted 9 May 2006 People remember guppy for what he used to be - the best english left winger in the last 10 years - not what he was when he came back for a few games. same wiv muz. if we can afford him, a years contract. rather have him than williams anyday!!! he would improve youngsters such as weso as well. the guys a class act. he might not have the same energy, but hed still have the touch, control and creativity to carve open defences. am I right in sayin that in the MA year when we got promoted, we didnt win a game without muz - i clearly remember stoke 0-0 no invention whatsoever! we looked a different team when he was in it! even if he makes a little a difference on the field, he brings a bit of midfield leadership, which we miss, and the set pieces will always be good for stearman, paddy mac etc to cash in on. no prem club will gamble on him - maybe a new club i.e. shef u, but other than, hed want to come to the club he loves.hes a West Ham fan, but they are not interested in an aging midfielder whos done nothing for a few years. money is everything though - if hes after anywhere near 30grand a week then hes dreaming. would anyone else gamle at 10grand week?for a year? Form is temporary...class is permanent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc true blue josh 18 Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 why do we keep thinking that muzzy is coming back, obviously i would love him to return, but it is never going to happen, so snap out of it then again, i hope im wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fynwy Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 there are talks so he cant get him but he wants him so maby loaning him might work ???? ??? again in English please. If he doesn't get his contract at Birmingham cancelled without retiring there is no way we can afford him, if he retires he can't play for at least 3 years. I can't see Muzzy giving up the wages he is on at Birmingham without a fight (would you?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmis-lcfc Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 heskey any 1 think that he will leave his club now they have gone down and does any club want him ???hes onli scored around 5 goals so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bald reynard Posted 10 May 2006 Share Posted 10 May 2006 there are talks so he cant get him but he wants him so maby loaning him might work ???? What sort of English are they teaching in schools today ? What does the quoted sentence mean ? Am I right, in interpreting it as, "RK has had talks with Muzzy, they have not gone well (RK has not been able to negotiate a deal with Muzzy/Birmingham) and might now be considering a loan move" ?! Where does 'timmis-lcfc' get this information from anyway (as others have already asked) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
