RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 YouTube has done that thing where it starts upsetting me showing videos of when we were good. I think we miss this fella perhaps more than anyone else. He was quality for 2 seasons. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Gutted when he left. He left when we were in the embargo basically didn’t he? Did we let him go or was it a case of we couldn’t offer him a new contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachyderm Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He quickly became my fave in the short time he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear05 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He was great for us for the majority of his time with us, but I do remember thinking that towards the end, his best days were well behind him. Think it was the right decision to let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main problem is we've never replaced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo hippy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 His quality was on the downhill but yeah one of my favourites from the last 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Quality player in those few seasons but sadly the right time to release him - his legs had gone towards the end and no way would we have seen the same player being able to get up and down the wing.

Sounds better coming from an Englishman, "nicked". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgybysea Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Good player for us,one of those guys who loved footie and showed it.Right little sod though,the winding up the oppositions fans when placing the ball a midges over the line on corners always worked for him ,the number of times the ref had to run over for a look only to find it was just in,class. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Free transfer.....he was one of the best pieces of business we've done in years. A proper player Wallace. Got some character and spark about him. The habit of bailing us out with a couple of long rangers too when we ran out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 We released him because he really had stopped delivering. We didn't replace him though. In fact, we didn't even seem to try to replace him. Pretty weird really - although I suppose Matias started getting more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAL Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Proper footballer, what we have been missing for a while. Very quick thinking. Instant control, most of the time. Knew where to move to receive a pass. Knew where others were going to be to make a pass, short or long. Ability to take a man on, with skill. Ability to interlink with other similar quality quick thinking players, which we currently do not have, or do not have playing in the correct parts of the pitch. This is the type of player we should have been employing throughout the team, when we spent all the money we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 When you look at the highlights of the Arsenal cup game and the Brighton play off games, makes you realise what an impact he had on that first season under Carlos Let’s hope Da Cruz or Windass can do something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
