Plumbing new depths of ineptitude Even in an absolute sea of dross the guy stands out as being the worst of the worst
Surely he can’t be here next year. He just can’t be

There may be a way to move him on - but it'll be expensive if he's got 12 months left on £20,000-a-week, the kind of wage that is as rare as hen's teeth now in this league, and exclusively reserved for absolute difference-makers.

What way have you got in mind Grapey? It'd have to be a sizeable pay-off or a loan with a small contribution? But the mind boggles about who on earth would be interested. He's probably the only real albatross on the books, although the Baker new deal is starting to look a really bad idea (although I was sceptical at the time!)

I genuinely can't remember him being involved in anything relevant during the first half, so thought he'd been brought on at half time.
The bloke's done.

He needs to leave, but I have no idea who would want to take him.
He’s finished at this level.

If the rumours are true this manager will be adding another albatross in Ashley Barnes in the coming weeks. We could have a party...

Said all this in the original thread when we signed him.
Was a bonkers signing.
Quite clearly done at any level above league 2.
Useless.

Do we still have a US connection who could wave some $$'s at him in a final payday in the sun deal??

The Opta stats might prove me wrong but I think he touched the ball once in the first 23 minutes when he picked the ball up just inside our half and had a clear run into their half where he was caught after about 5 strides by one of their lumps of centre halves and lost the ball. He was a bit better in the second half but in just over an hour he had 13 touches of the ball. None in the box. According to a young techi lad on our bus. It was a stand out hideous individual performance in a team display of total ineptitude. Closely followed it has to be said by Tymon.

I think I contributed more than he did today and I was sat in Row 33 of the Family Stand eating chocolate buttons.

Cost effective, hungry strikers from PL clubs!

Out of the contracted players, we desperately need to try and get rid of Gayle and Tymon.
Surely we can flog Tymon to another Championship side for £500k or so? Gayle will be much more difficult because he’s on huge wages and there’s not much hope of another side actually wanting him.

Cannot be bothered to check the collective number of goals, but the much vaunted forward line at the start of the season didn’t turn out to be very productive:
Campbell Brown Delap Gayle

He’s definitely finished, we signed him 2 or 3 years too late. Typical of us

At least he managed to score a goal with his arse this season, which is well worth the extraordinary wages he's picking up for this league.

If that's the case the chairman should step in and say ...you know where I said you could have free reign on transfers that doesn't include players like Ashley fucking Barnes

I genuinely forgot that he was playing at one point in the first half. I was excited when we signed him in the summer and he looked lively in a couple of the early games. But, he is completely shot. I have no idea what we are going to do with him. He has got another year on his big-money contract and I doubt that other teams will be lining up to take him off our hands.

A coward of a player who’s first instinct when receiving the ball is to turn and face his own goal and look for an easy sideways/backwards pass. Been here ages and is no better now than he was the day he walked through the door. His “efforts”today were an insult to the shirt.

I thought after the Sunderland game he would kick on and score a few more. Hasn’t happened, he basically admitted after his first goal off his arse that he was shot. I can see him retiring at the end of the season.

Preferred to hide and take the easy option I can’t abide him as a footballer. Rarely takes his man on, can’t defend, never looks up and his crossing is shite. Absolutely boiled my piss today with that “effort”, should never ever play for us again At least Gayle has an excuse
