Stuntman_Mike Posted 24 January 2020 Share Posted 24 January 2020 He never truly suited our system but he does have potential if you play to his strengths. I'd take his Newcastle move with a pinch of salt as he was banned and injured for most of that. It's all too easy writing someone off if the fit isn't right, I just hope we get a decent fee for him.

I very much doubt that, try using a calculator. How many clubs has he been on loan at to recover the best part of £27m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lcfc-1992 Posted 24 January 2020 Share Posted 24 January 2020 Just now, Gerard said: IIRC we had a £2m fee from Newcastle but I believe the Fernabache and Monaco loans didn't even warrant a loan fee. Just been looking at this, Fenerbahce was £1.35m, can’t find one for Monaco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Fox85 believes three clubs each paid us £9m in loan fees but we'll accept £4m from Man U who we're in competition with for a CL place. Glad he doesn't do my accounts.

Jon the Hat Posted 24 January 2020 Share Posted 24 January 2020 **** no, sale only. Not interested in helping our rivals, even if that help is merely ensuring they can field someone over the age of 18 up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabrah Posted 24 January 2020 Share Posted 24 January 2020 He just used to make me laugh. And I accept we didn't play to his strengths.... we should have strapped a cart to him I'm being unfair, I know I am, and somewhat cruel. There was obviously something about him that made us interested. I guess it just baffles me as to why we paid so much, an expensive Plan B, as he was never a fit for the way we played.
