Ash77 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 30 years old, not playing, on big wages, cash the chips and invest in connor who may even appreciate in value rather than depreciate fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 1 hour ago, theowlsman said: No doubt he is a very good player. It's a mystery to me how he hasn't found his feet here, but we've seen it before with other players, at other clubs. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, or they perform to their optimum at a particular club. Poor medical is the answer don't know why they asked Blunkett to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Disastrous signing by the looks of it. It would be incredible if we even make half his fee back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So are we saying that Watford knowingly sold us a crock? If so, can only assume they saw it as revenge after making a monumental wee wee tail-up with Fernando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Might as well off load him. He's not going to get a chance here. Travesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sometimes signings work and other times they don't. Patrick Blondeau gave Des Walker heart. Attacks but he was playing Champions league after we let him move on. Darko Kovacivic anyone? like many others, I don't want Almen to go, but if this team at this time is not working for him and he not for us - it is best all round for a move to be worked out.

prowl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So the story is that he can't get in our team so he's going to play Champions League for someone else. It makes as much sense as anything else I suppose, i.e. not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I really hope he can regain fitness and get into the side. Him and FF in the same side is a fantastic thing to wish for. But, I do see why many people are saying cash in if we can. Personally, I hope he comes good for us, as he is absolute quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 At least we didn't spend £13.5m on him like Everton did with Niasse... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/oct/11/everton-oumar-niasse-ronald-koeman-roberto-martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Still think he will come good for us if given a decent run of games when fit. You don't all of a sudden turn from one of the best midfielders in the league to one that struggles to make the bench surely?

I have my doubts as to whether Basel could afford his wages and transfer fee. They seem to be in the Champions League group stages regularly, they pull in around £10m just for being in it. They also get a load of cash for every point they get and although they were rubbish in it this season they've made the knockout stage a couple of times in recent years. So they don't have the revenue streams of the top clubs but they're no paupers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
