Hope he does well. Always tried but was clearly limited and asked to play upfront in a rubbish team
A team where Rohan Ince played THIRTY EIGHT GAMES and Forster Caskey played 35

Very best of luck to him.Spoke to him at Brentford a couple of years ago and seemed like a really decent bloke. I will never forget that goal against Arsenal in the FA cup.

Any wrestler-esque player I will always welcome, and wish the best of futures for.

If he helped Burke get the tin tac then good luck COG.

Which probably says it all for all three players really. I still think that Chris O'Grady can offer a lot to teams that play a certain style of football though, i.e . to sides who have a more direct system than us.
After all he didn't score twenty odd goals in the Championship for Barnsley for nothing. It just wasn't to be with us unfortunately, but always a whole hearted player, and l wish him the very best of luck.
Except when he got 15 goals in a season for Barnsley

Not with us he wasn't, but remember he was playing in a very poor side. Those 21 goals he scored for an under performing Barnsley side may prove you wrong though. Certainly he is better than League Two.

Yes. Could have easily been bleating to the press, but went about his business in a professional manner.

Whilst I have respect for him not mouthing off in the press, I also question whether anyone would have bothered to report it. And what would he have to complain about? He's made a fortune out of this club without contributing anything of any kind. He was a bad signing from the start, I bet he couldn't believe his luck we'd be stupid enough to offer him a 3 year contract on whatever he was being paid. And then we found him loan moves as well. Like a few from the Burke era, stole a living from the club.

Yes, but we signed him. He didn't steal anything, there was never any indication that he didn't try his best, didn't faff about off the field etc etc. He was hardly a Liam Dickinson was he?

That's very unfair, you make him out to be some kind of criminal. All he could do was try his best, and I'm sure that he did that. It was hardly his fault that things didn't work out for him or the club. But that's the way of it sometimes in football.

Say what you like about COG (I liked him) but he always gave 100%. It made me laugh when some said on here he was unfit. Yeah right. He offered good hold-up play but unfortunately we had nobody to take advantage. What a side that was - Ince, Forster-Caskey and Paddy McCourt. It just goes to show how good a job CH has done
