He came through at Everton and looked the real deal from a young age, he was the sort of hard working midfielder we are crying out for, but like Sterling, Delph and a lot of players went for the big paycheck at Man City and barely played for 2 years. Then signed for a struggling team in Sunderland and he just has not worked out for him. We cannot offer the salary he is on but would he be worth the risk of say £20,000 a week with a bonus if we get promoted this season or next. At his best he is a £10-20m players in today's prices and at 26 years old he is not in his prime yet. For me I think he is worth the risk, no fee and has the quality and would fit into our new system playing one of the two holding roles. No. You've also answered your own question by stating the word 'playing' - he doesn't. We already have Abdi stealing a wage, he may get jealous if another permanently injured player comes in and muscles in on his medication. We don't need another player made of balsa wood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan - reserve team player at Palace not good enough for the first team (22 games in 2 years - 1 goal) Hooper - injury prone striker not good enough for the first team Hutch - career finished the Stuart Gray gave him a chance Lees - free agent Leeds didn't want him and was woeful in 6-0 thrashing and for about 18 months before Leeds got rid Westwood - Crock, never fit 19 games in 3 years Do you put time aside each day to make this sh*t up or does it just roll naturally as you sit down at the keyboard?

Mr. Tom Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Lots of Sunderland fans (the ones who aren't just absuing him 24/7) have genuniely questioned whether his mental health is ok. Lots speculating that he's just completely lost his bottle and doesn't actually want to be a footballer any more. Would be a colossal risk, and I doubt it'd be a welcome move in the dressing room whatever he's on. Definite no way Jos(e) from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was miles better than everyone on the pitch. I say sign him up. Would you say he was head and shoulders above you? Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Hard to say, I stayed away from him after he made a couple of our midfielders reconsider all their life choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 2 hours ago, room0035 said: Does it matter Hutch is a crock but he when plays is our best player Hoopers injury record is very poor but again one of our best players Fessi has in 2 and a bit season missed over a full season for injury so let get rid - no wait a minute he is our best player. Looven/Lees regularly only available for half a season because of injuries less get rid. Modern football is a squad game players rarely play 30+ games in a season now, with the right manager would he improve our squad definitely. But do I know if he has been fit and not played no, does he have other none football issues - probably. We don't have the money to go out and buy the players we need, so we need to look at broken players we could make into the players we need. Or give youth a chance, i hope we give youth a chance. It does matter Hutchinson is a crock , we should get rid as soon as possible . Hooper , we get enough out of him forestieri , happily see the back of him loovens should retire and unfortunalty I think lees had it too we don’t need other teams dross , we have enough of our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Fessi Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not for me but worth a gamble for other clubs absolutely. Don't forget how talented he once was, only injury & lack of confidence has ruined his career in recent years. Considering he's only 26, if you could negotiate maybe a 18month deal on a wage similar to the rest of your squad and if his attitude is good why not?

Mr Soul Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’d certainly consider giving him a trial. But he’d have to shine before getting any contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
