Ric Flair Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 Not sure how i'd feel about that. I thought Gudjonsson had a shocking season last season, but I don't think he's a bad player. If we got money for him, then i'd be chuffed but giving him away might be pointless.
Nationwider Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 A rumour that makes sense for a change. Fine by me, as long as it's one in, one out.

Fine by me, as long as it's one in, one out. 130143[/snapback] The thing is who will we get in who's any better than him that will be prepared to sit on the bench? Gudjonsson has got one year left on his contract and unless he's on silly money i'd rather keep him than get some two bit SPL player. Having said that, if Levein unearths a young starlet then i'll be more than happy but i'm starting to have my doubts. I know it's the summer blues, but my god it's frustrating.
Gené and Tonic Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 He has the potential to be a good player. £3.5 million was what he was worth a few years ago. Hopefully he'll be back up to that standard soon.

Ric Flair Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 maybe it will mean james wesolowski gets a chance 130153[/snapback] If that happens i'll be over the moon, but the last time I was over the moon as a result of something Leicester did was a long, long time ago.

Still, tomorrow's 1 July 2005, and the contracts are up for lots of players. Who knows what that'll bring? Sod all, probably.
TrickyTrev Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 Get rid, people talkign about potential are hvaing a bubble. He can't pass, tackle, shoot, head, run or just about anything required of a footballer.
Anish Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 I wouldn't be bothered if he left, he didn't impress me much (apart from the very odd game) last season. His passing is awful most of the time (far too ambitious) and his shooting is a joke. He's not strong enough nor does he look comfortable and confident on the ball. I know that sounds like a moan but I'm sure we get get a replacement for Gudjonsson easily enough.

City Fan Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 Never have rated Joey - he has about one good game a season. He cant pass or tackle, and surely you need to be able to do those things to be a good midfielder. I would pay for his taxi back home.........
stulcfc Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 i think we have yet to see the best of him so i hope this isnt true
Muz Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 Get rid and make way for younger players ala James Wesolowski
Rich Pickings Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 I dont agree with you lot. JG does alot of work which obviously goes un-noticed. Playing just in front of the back four is not a glamourous position and most players who play there never get the recognition they deserve, unless their name is Lennon. Sorry to be argumentative with my first post but I think JG is OK.

If Gudjonsson goes then sobeit. CL knows what he is doing and I get the sense he is no fan of JG.

Sorry to disagree with your first post, everyone will tell you I'm not an argumentative person , but I shall be happy to see him replaced by a better player, hopefully.
Hitesh Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 We need players like Joey IMO. Hes a good midfielder and does try hard. Some games he does have bad patches and it does get annoying but surely its better to have him in the squad rather than nobody else. At the moment we dont look to be signing anyone special so we have to do the best with what we have.

Scow Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 I think the three words that sum up Joey perfectly are: 'Wasteful', 'Inconsistent' and 'Frustrating' I think he does have the ability, but his footballing brain isn't there. He's too rash and often tries to over do things. If we can get a fee for him, I'd bite their hands off. I imagine he's on good wages as a number of clubs were rumoured to be after him at the time of purchase. Get rid.

Sorry to be argumentative with my first post but I think JG is OK. 130297[/snapback] Every player that plays in that role for Leicester will be compared to Lennon. Probably a sign of a set of supporters that are still living off past glories. Joey is not a very good holding midfielder though. He would show up very poorly on the Lennon scale but even just comparing him with other players that play similar roles at other clubs in this division would show him to be an average player. I don't think it's a coincidence that the last successful season we had was the season that we found a player to fill that 'Lennon' role in Billy Mckinlay. If we had got him a few seasons earlier it would've been brilliant, well in fact we did but unfortunately Taylor let him go. Hopefully Kisnorbo can fill that role although he has said he's more like Savage so he could be too rash to just hold.

Look at his performances in the Premiership, he played that role superbly in front of the back 4. Another year in the Championship would not have been beyond him at all. McKinlay >>>>>>> Gudjonsson
Cat Burger Posted 30 June 2005 Posted 30 June 2005 Can't believe more hasn't been said about his size. He's a hobbit! what made him decide to be a holding midfield player? having said that keeping him would depend on a possible fee or the size of his wages! he's certainly more worthy of a squad place ahead of someone like Wilcox.
