Biggest waste of money we’ve ever had. Wouldn’t offer him a new contract even if he started and scored in all the remaining fixtures.. Are you sure about that?

Pale Rider Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It’s staggering how out of touch large parts of our fan base seem to be with the job at hand Steve Bruce has. So let me put in simple terms we have a constipation of crap. Steve is the laxative that needs to send fookers like this round the u bend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the fact we've adopted a system which he was playing in in Portugal when we signed him. I'd like to think it means he won't be allowed to steal a living at Hillsborough any longer and will be gone in the suumer. Massive wage thief. He wants to think himself lucky Abdi's taken the spotlight from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while he's here and fit and an option... as I said especially with us having a lack of pace and goalscoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd still rather we concentrated on the lads we know will be here next season. That said, we're paying him so why not play him in an emergency?

Got to suspect he'll be off to warmer climes come May. Wih Fernando now missing a game (and did Bruce say Boyd is badly?) I think we'd surely be looking at all the available attacking options.

If he has (and obviously fit) I’ll take that please because the quality of our final pass is very average at best. its all conjecture if he is not going to be match fit but if he is it’ll be like having a new player and certainly a new dimension.

Blue and white Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I don't think I've every been as disappointed with a signing as much as Abdi. He wasn't the midfield beast we needed after the play off final but he was a luxury signing and absolutely head and shoulders above any midfielder we had in the squad. Through injury and mismanagement (Carlos and his shore horn) we have never seen the real Abdi and sadly we never will now, it's been an expensive mistake on something that could and should have delivered more. He had all the attributes to be a fans favorite and even reach legendary status. Edited February 22, 2019 by Blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he managed to get fit and play the rest of the season we'd be completely mad to offer him a new deal, as the chances he will break down again are extremely high. Can't actually believe people still want to see him get a chance. There's no sentiment in football, and certainly not for players that haven't contributed anything in more than 2 years!
