Calderon

[blockhseagull]

Just came across this article about Calderon, seems he has more than on club after him now

Race is on for Calderon From Daily Echo)

I expected more interest in a freebie quality right back.
Anyway, we're so over him now... weep weep

 

[Simster]

Lets hope he ends up in the championship. I don't really want him at one of our promotion rivals.

 

[Perkino]

He's not really that good at defending.

I'm not too concerned about him not signing, it's more about the confidence he brings to the side rather than the ability he has

Let's not do that stupid NSC sour grapes thing, of pretending that a departing player was 'not much good anyway'. It's embarrassing.

 

[The Modfather]

Calderon is absolute quality and will be a big loss.

But he has gone so lets forget him and move on.

I always believe the "Daily Echo".

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

He broke my heart.

I shall never be able to walk past a branch of Santander again.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Good lower championship starter, exactly standard of player we need, but doesn't mean can't get another. Shouldn't over pay unless is final peice of puzzle and then sets dangerous precedent (sp)

big big loss player everybody took to:US:

I would not try to claim that he wasn't much good but on the other hand there are certainly better defenders around. What made Calderon great was his attacking and our 4-5-1 gave him the freedom to do that. If we change to 4-4-2 next season, which I think Poyet would like to, would he have the same opportunities to get forward or would a more solid defender, like Painter offers on the left, be better for the team?

That is not to say I wish he had stayed and I am really disappointed that he decided not to sign the contract. I am just saying that maybe it won't be a disaster, as ever depends who we get to replace him (hopefully not Hoyte).

He wasn't MUCH good anyway and won't be MISSED , just another FOREIGN flop and GOOD riddance to him.
WE need a TRIED and tested ENGLISH right back and Gus MUST ring Fergie today and get Garry Neville on a FREE.

There are better defenders around, shame they all play in the Championship or higher. Whether any of these 'better' defenders want to come an play for us is another thing.

Hopefully we will be able to replace him, but people shouldn't think that will be easy as he was top quality for this level.

I agree with this. I feel slightly wrong that part of me is still clinging on to the 1% chance he may still sign for us...

You would rather have a conference standard full back rather than the best English right back even at his age.
