gypsyowl Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Not sure when his Christmas break is over, probably next month but it'll be interesting to see how our fans react to him, honestly I'm absolutely sick of him and his poor attitude. Great player technically, probably on bar with Bannan for our most gifted player, But even when he's declared fit, he strolls around with his sleeves over his hands, head down, no reaction if we score a goal. That time when he was warming up and ignored Bullen and Weaver made me so angry. We've made him a millionaire and he's just completely took the mick out of this club since he refused to get on that bus in August 2016. No doubt he'll produce the odd moment of quality between now and May but I can't wait for him to leave the club. When you see that amazing interview from Urhoghide, it really puts into context how bad FF's attitude is and I can't be the only one who doesn't want to see him play for us again, I hope he leaves this window but doubt it, he's got 6 months of an easy pay cheque to pick up first.

Guest wilyfox Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 His contribution has declined year on year. I expect nothing from him now. When a 30yr-old is called out for lack of effort by his manager and vice-captain, he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He's a bit of non-entity and has been for a while. A bit of a luxury item that occasionally shows up and then vanishes for several months. Having led a pretty nomadic existence, it seemed like he had finally found a home with us. As it is, it's felt like a bit of a loveless marriage ever since the whole bikegate fiasco.

Its almost as if his second season and 5 in 10 in third season dont count contribution wise. Not aimed at you bte Injuries and suspensions have frustrated but people want to diminsh his time completely for some reason. Needs to be a happy medium. Will he hit a consistent run again? Sadly very doubtful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If whole Maccesfield incident hadnt happened then I think we would have seen a lot more of him and a return to form past 18 months as well but had issue hanging over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it proves 'owt, perhaps he's not having fun anymore, perhaps he's been told to stop posting sh ite?

Sadly very doubtful True. The whole bikegate thing didn't realy bother me after a week or so. Some will never forgive him though. Sadly, ever since that point, his relationship with the club has always felt a bit uneasy. You then throw in the injuries, suspensions etc. Fantastic talent and as he showed against Norwich last season, he is right up there with the very best in this division on his day. Unfortunately, we haven't realy got to see that for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I reckon Bruce or Monk would have had him out of the door two years ago if they had been here Damaged goods in more ways than one I was ecstatic when we signed him after following his career at Watford but he has been bad value to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute bargain in today's market. On the other hand, when you consider how much he has taken home in terms of wages, then yeah, perhaps not the greatest value.

SiJ Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nando is somewhat testament to the fact that, you can have all the ability in the world, but if things aren't quite right between the ears (for whatever reason), then you will only get so far. Ability wise, he should have played most of his career in the top flight somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a toxic character in terms of his attitude and has been affecting players around him wasn’t he the reason Winnall was shipped out to Derby ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ferkorf Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Its no doubt his time is probably over but to say he has a poor attitude because he is injured is clutching at straws at best. We can all see on the pitch hes not what he used to be, hardly to do with attitude though, always got niggles, always played out of position to the point where I can't even remember what his natural position is. Shame really but for those 2 years I'm sure many fans will remember him in ten years time for being undoubtedly the most exciting player they have ever seen as I remember Waddle, Carbone, Di canio etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 May just be a case of letting the first season go to his head. Then came the injuries and indiscipline. Chansiri definitely kept hold for too long though. Both parties have suffered as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been sold then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
