Former players - where are they now?

There is very little to like about Gary Neville, in my opinion. He comes across as a right little oink.

In Roy Keane’s autobiography, I’m sure that he wrote that GN was hung like a church mouse.

He may have ‘significantly more money than yow’ (and I) but he’s still a bit of a nobster…

Maybe - it just seems to coincidental to me that our form changed when he rejoined in the background. It was a similar story with Smith, when he joined, Smith turned a corner and then fell off a cliff when O’Kelly left Villa.

That always annoyed me the fact that they still would be making a significant profit on Deeney and also the money they received for getting in the prem .

Given a few seasons later Deeney went on to leave Watford for nothing, it could be argued they also lost out on £24M because they weren’t prepared to just honour the deal we made.

I’m no Bonser fan, but he did the right thing. They were taking the pee as we would have originally took a lower fee when he was first sold to agree the sell on. And it would have sent out a message to other clubs that they could try it on too

I guess a big chunk would have gone the same way as money from Fox and Dann… and why shouldn’t he? :roll_eyes:

It could also be argued, by staying he helped Watford stay in the premiershite, where the rewards dwarfed the £24M and we went downhill.
Anyway, if we got £1M, £3M or £6M, where would it have gone?

Very little, if any, would have gone to the team.

Romaine has still got it despite having no club
Not sure link works, but for information he scored last night.

Crazy he hasn’t got a club yet

Based on our season so far, if you could sign him, would you

Romaine was a top player for us, absolute quality.
I don’t see where he would fit in to this team though. Don’t think the system we play would suit him.

Don’t really need to, we have a quality midfield that covers all bases, especially with Hall gaining fitness.

It might now. His former role with us wouldn’t but he’s not always played this position and was very effective from a deeper more defensive, position at the bag ladies.

Suspect that we’ve already got adequate midfield strength already though.

Yes so we have a composed midfielder in games where we are struggling under the cosh or when the opposition sit back .
However he wouldn’t be a guaranteed started in the way we play so he wouldn’t be interested

Andreas Makris came on in the 77th minute for Cyprus today against Lithuania.
Cyprus won 2-1, but surprisingly he didn’t score!!

I’ve always liked Gareth. I hope he’s a dismal failure at Salop. Agent Ainsworth, do your job.
