[T LEAFE]

Was on the bench yesterday I think?

Is he now injured?

 

[MACCA75]

Probably has to go down as our worst ever signing at this point. In fact, there is no probably about it.

Heard he picked up a season threatening splinter on the bench yesterday.

For the fee paid, yes. Inflation adjusted Alex Nyarko and Mattel Ferrari (both very big fees at the time) would run this lad close.

Ferrari? A loan wasn’t he?

I tip my hat sir, correct. 5.5m option which we politely declined and sent him back.

He picked up a lot of injuries and couldn't string a run together, when he played i thought he was very good.

 

[Walham Green Blue]

Did you all ever get a Bob Marley chant going for him?

 

[johntmorgan67]

Just get the vet to give him an injection and put everyone out of their misery

I was a bit younger then so may not have known alot but remember thinking he had a bit of quality about him when he played. Fitness and injuries seemed to be his downfall.

Thats my memory to mate, he had quality, woulad plat two or three then be out for four, just couldn’t get a run together - think he would have cost 5.5 mill, was big money for us back then, so we never went for him permanently. He was a good player though agreed.

If my memory is right think he was a centre back but we played him right full mostly. Think it was Roma we got him on loan from.

 

[maccavennie]

Couldn't even make the bench on Saturday even though he was fit.

Must be absolutely crap in training or simply can't be arsed putting in the effort.

Or his major career threatening injuries have actually threatened his career.

He's been injury free for a year.

Exactly, some short memories around here.
