I was thinking about this. I am a great NY fan and have many of his albums from "After the Goldrush" to today, but I have always been aware that he has a "Marmite" - you love it or hate it! He certainly hasn`t got what would be classed as a good singing voice, probably quite the opposite, but for me it works. Really don`t know why - it just does.
Whilst not suggesting that there is anything in the OP, if this forum had been around in 1980 and someone suggested that we might sign Kevin Keegan, most the responses would be the same.
Yes, I was very surprised that the presenter didn`t pick him up on this, bearing in mind that he did when he said "in the sh1t" and when one questioner used "b*llocks"
So you`re not happy with Cork, De Ridder, Fox and Jos in this window?? As well as keeping the people that we want to keep?? Oxo going at £12M+ was the right thing to do.
I think that what has happened over the years is that transfers and agents have been dealt with in certain ways and they have got away with murder. IMHO NC deals in a far more professional way and they don`t like it. I am pleased that he is not falling in to the trap. Perhaps we might find out that his way is the right way.
Having watched Saints since the `50`s I have seen all of the greats from that point until now and I have to say that MLT was the player that gave us the most enjoyment - the player that sent us home with a smile on our faces more than any other. He deserves any honour that he gets IMHO.
