Sold him? Would anyone buy him from us?
You might like to talk to fans of other clubs who do rate him. Holloway mentioned him as one of three good players for us in his pre-match interview.

I just wish Gus would play him as an out and out striker with CMS. We might see the best of him then.
Track back a few months and people on here were LIVID that we didn't sell Noone for the 'over-inflated' price Cardiff offered us for him in January... And I would not be surprised one bit if it was the same people who are now saying we shouldn't have sold him/should have got more for him, all the while completely disregarding Barnes as useless.

I'd be GUTTED if we sold Barnes, in fact as much as I was when Murray left.

Check out the threads when he went,gutted then and gutted now,must hope Orlandi proves to be good.Noone was one of the few players we had that could make something happen although some on here with short memories wouldnt thin so.

You don't need hindsight. Noone is a unique player in our squad and probably pretty rare in this league and certainly one who we simply do not have any sort of replacement for.
His first game at the Amex against Donny and that lovely little shuffle to set up Buckers winning goal - his technical ability is excellent and whilst it may not have always been consistent (which is possibly down to the style of play of the team and the defensive duties he had) he is a very good addition to any squad and we shouldn't have let him go

Abort, retry, fail
I reckon the dressing room misses him. We don't really seem to have any characters on our playing staff.

But but but, everyone said he had no end product. Check out the threads.
Personally I agree with you, but every player has his price. We made good money out of Noone and to be honest, Orlandi's corners are much better.

At the time. Yes. HOWEVER...If he was playing for us like he's been playing for Cardiff then definately no.
I said it back then and I’ll say it again, we was absolutely mental selling Noone. He could take 2 or 3 opposition players out the game as they tried to man mark him. I said to my mates that if he goes to Cardiff he’ll tear the opposition a new arse hole and seems to be proving me right.
Bloody gutted then and more gutted now.

He scored one goal against Burnley. Blimey, even Gordon Greer managed that, twice.
Even last week when Cardiff were on tv, posters on Nsc were saying same old Nooney, no end product.

Noone works better with Cardiff because they have more players in the box, he doesn't need pin point crosses when he has 2/3 people to aim for, unlike having 1 to aim for with us.

Up the Albion!
2 of the biggest characters gone from the dressing room, Nooney & Tommy Elphick. Many people on here never rated either. I'm gutted they've gone, & I do wonder how it affected the morale within the dressing room.
Still, footballers know these things happen, it's part & parcel of the job.
