I don’t begrudge him that. Club’s fault for signing him. It’s no use buying a player who isn’t good enough and then blaming him for not being good enough. We needed a replacement for Loovens. We’d already committed ourselves to Rhodes’ deal. JVA was plucked from the poole we could afford. Why him, we’ll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Not my type of centre half. I love big, battering ram defenders who win the ball and clear the danger, not fannying around trying to play out from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was responding to someone saying they had sympathy for him. I don't blame him for accepting the wages but have zero sympathy towards him that it didn't work out for him at Wednesday.

You said "You do realise though as compensation we have made him financially secure for life" So what? Most footballers in the top two divisions will be financially secure for life, it's just an odd thing to say. Far too much concern about what other people earn. It's not your money, why do you care he's financially secure for life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hello, I’m wondering if you have a book of the worst buy a team could make? Oh you do, that’s wonderful. My name? It’s Joost Van Aken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the club brought Joost Van Aken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away matches sharing a room with Calum Patterson or at home counting your money and settling down to watch Netflix with your beautiful girlfriend? No wonder players are motivated these days...
