Was not that great over here in Argentina but does fit the bill of target man that we have been looking for. He is quite awkward with the ball at his feet and isn´t a goalscorer.. Can´t help but feel underwhelmed.
General thoughts on the FA Cup Final (coming on for Niemi) and being the first player to do this in an FA Cup Final. Did he come close to leaving after becoming understudy to Niemi?
I wish the lad well. Of course going to a larger club you are going to earn more, but I think he just honestly wanted to push on in his career like any one of us would want to do.. It hasn´t worked out but let´s not forget the years of service he gave as we rose up the leagues. Even after he had his move rejected first time around he knuckled straight back down (think he may have got a goal or two against West Ham) and gave us a final great season.
Just a comment on the podcasts in general. I thought the first couple could be improved and came across a tad monotone but they have really improved sonce and youve managed to get a good mix of people on and they have got me feeling quite nostalgic. Keep up the good work! Ive really enjoyed listening to them over here in Argentina.
It´s a tough one. Perhaps it´s all too easy to forget the season he had a couple of years ago (especially the second part of it) when he was one of our best players... but he does not score enough and I´m not convinced that all of his running leads to much either... 10 mil and I would sell..
During the time we rose up the leagues it was Guly for me. Think he made his debut against Tranmere and we won 2-0. It was quite exotic having a Brazilian playing for us in League 1 who contributed with goals in both that league and the Championship. From earlier times I´d go Michael Svensson. Great shift in the Prem and I was gutted when he had his injury. He made a brief and welcomed return for a few matches in the Championship which only confirmed the love we had for him.

The #WEMARCHON was brought in the year we sold lambert, lallana etc (I believe at least) and it stuck given the ongoing improvement we made despite a couple of summers of selling players. Having gone backwards a bit, it doesn´t really fit so well now.
