theowlsman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 How about we make Super Gary Hooper player manager and release Jos to take Accrington Stanley to Champions League success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Absolute worst case scenario this. Player we spaffed some serious money on. One of our best players. Contract ticking down. Injured. Absolute no win situation for the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksmore Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 You've got to ask though where he goes from here as a player, surely nobody gives him a contract anywhere near as decent as the one he got here? Maybe he doesnt need another one though. Either way, pretty terrible injury record for us as i can't see him making more than 10 appearances for us this season, depending on the injury of course.

I'm sure the club are just fullfiling their contractual obligations to certain players and there's a longer game underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a minor one is a set back. Christmas fast approaching. Won't be long until we're streaking into 2019. We can't offer him a deal based in the last 18 months , we don't know whether he's even going to be able to come back anywhere near what he's capable. Let him go though...and it's what £3m and an excellent player down the swanny. Be our luck if we gave him a reduced off deal he'd stay....and end up finished. Let him go he'd fully recover and become a great player for someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both depreciating in value all the time as well but only one of them results in the owner incurring weekly costs of around £30K while they are inactive!

He's quality but by the time he's "fit" he will have been a long time out of the game. Tbh I'm sick to death of wondering when these long term injured players will be back. Now that I've calmed down after the recent thumpings I'm totally resigned to a 2/3 season rebuild with youth. I'll sigh with relief after the summer clear out. Someone said in the Derby thread that we have a much better squad...my hollow laughter was straight from whatever happened to baby Jane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlsfieldowl Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Just goes on and on, this. ..cant see him featuring much or at all this season. A good player but no use on the treatment table - needs to be moved on at the end of the season a long with the others ina similar postion.

pazowl55 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Shame really. Best goalscorer we got and we probably won't see him play for us again. Lets hope we can get our second best goalscorer up and running. Winnall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
