In which case most (normal) keepers would take the Premier League contract on the table, think "right, I'm going to fight for that shirt and PROVE I'm the No1 at this club", and crack on. Not to mention that this is World Cup year, Joe Hart has disappeared up his own arse, and there *might* just...
I heard that Dave's a bit of a salad-dodger as well, and had a few run-ins with the fitness coaches during his time here. Could also have been a factor.
In an interview he gave shortly after the move, the reason he gave for going to Birmingham was the PASSHUN of the fans there, after seeing them celebrating behind the goal at Bristol when they stayed up on the final day. Now its all about the family ?
Make your mind up Dave.
Nobody should be automatic first choice in any position. If he thinks he should be given a free ride between the sticks regardless of fitness or form, then its probably best he slung his hook back down to the second division.
Compared with a "working mans" career its short, I take your point. But over that whole career period, if he's earning (say) £20k a week for just 5 years of his career, which is not an unreasonable assumption in the top 2 leagues, then that's over a million pounds a year. Not taking into account...
I don't really buy this "short career" malarkey. As a goalkeeper he can expect to have a professional career in the region of 18 years. And having spent his career in the top 2 divisions, he's earning in a WEEK what many people earn in a year. Now that won't be the case over the course of the...
"How did Harry Redknapp sell the club to you ?"
"He actually said have a look at how the fans reacted at Bristol. You know, I watched a video and you know, they're passionate. I looked at the fans singing, and that's part of me, I like to be able to feel something from the fans, that's what...
Heard from a 'source' that's been reliable in the past that he's something of a salad-dodger, there's often been behind-the-scenes issues about his weight.
That said, with a contract from a Premier League club on the table, you'd have thought he'd swerve the BK Whoppers for a season and knuckle...
Nah. Saw enough of him this season to know temperament isn't an issue. He was absolute quality for us, and probably the best distributer of the ball I can remember seeing from an Albion keeper.
He SHOULD be a Premier League goalkeeper Turns out its just all about the money though. What a...
Well, my flabber is absolutely gasted,
He's swerved a Premier League contract to sign for a complete and utter basket-case club, that avoided the 3rd division last season (AGAIN) on the final day. They must be throwing bonkers money at him for that.
We all want to fill our wallets a much as...
Well, I wouldn't go as far as that. But he does seem to put stuff out there, and then spend an inordinate amount of time liking and retweeting all the arselicking. Then when shots are fired he gets all defensive and goes out seeking and retweeting the affirmations of his views. I think he's...
Of course he doesn't have to accept anything thats put in front of him, but as it stands the club have made an offer and he's holding out for something better, as he is perfectly entitled to do. That's the definition of stalling.
The thing is, by all accounts he really IS a top bloke. He seems...
I think it’s become rather tiresome.
Posting a pic of his son in a Leeds shirt is no big deal, they’re from the area etc. But he knows EXACTLY what the reaction is going to be from some of the trolls, so why bother ? Unless he’s up for a fight on there, which he most certainly is, as I know...
