flo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good luck at Sunderland Glenn. One of my favourite players while i've supported Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Best of luck to a great servant of our club. Surprised he has a 2 year deal at a club like Sunderland but I’m pleased for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) I think many on here are just forgetting how terrible Loovens has become these last 12 months. He can't run, he can't pass a ball, he's that slow he can't tackle properly anymore (see ball destroyer v Ipswich and red card v Pigs)! Only thing he is good for is his leadership qualities, but they already know that doesn't count for much really, John O'Shea prime example. How another professional club has decided to take him on I don't know. Good luck to the lad, he was a fantastic free agent pickup by DJ, the last act he had at this club. I hope he does well but think people are disrespecting L1 strikers by saying he'll be fine and get by with just his footballing brain. Him and O'Shea in a 2-man defence will be scary bad Edited July 20, 2018 by Birley Owl 1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He got us out of more trouble than he ever got us in. There are poorer players in the squad even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He’d be ideal in a back 3 with some pace either side. Very much a ‘first yard in the head’ player. But no higher than league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It is not that long ago that him and Tom Lees got us to a penalty shootout against Huddersfield more or less on their own. Loovens was brilliant those two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 A rolls Royce of a defender in his day and during his time with us, for a time at least. Last season was horrendous and time appears to have caught up with him but for a free transfer must be one of the best pound for pound signings we’ve had. Good luck at Sunderland Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
