Released players

[eddiemunster]

Latest news is that Kinsella has gone, who's next?

[TopDeck113]

Blimey! I know we've handed out some ridiculous contracts in recent years, but I thought Mark left a decade or so ago.

Richardson and Nzogbis any day now

Nzogbia must be up there in terms of our worst ever signings

Makoun, Balaban, Collymore, Ireland, Richards, Sidwell - he belongs in that lot for sure

I thought Steve '75th Minute Sub' Sidwell contributed more than the other five mentioned there combined.

Don't get me wrong, I thought he was shit, but even if you just consider that quick return of the ball as a sub to Milner against Hull, that alone was more than ****** like Ireland ever contributed.

That was a great assist, remember him dominating our midfield against Reading years back. Stole a top division career off the back of it

Ireland was player of the year wasn't he? Maybe the McLeish year? Gutless moron of a man.

nzog wasnt that bad a signing, he has only cost us 25 million

[johnny from donny]

If we're talking about bad signings, Nicky Shorey deserves a mention.  When we played Doncaster at the Keepmoat in the FA Cup, a Rovers supporting mate of mine remarked that we'd rather kick the ball into touch than give it to Shorey

I used to play with someone who was a kid with Sidwell at Arsenal. He said that Sidwell was always the type who'd prefer to be a big fish in a little pond. Of course the guy could've just been jealous.

It seems unlikely that he deliberately failed to impress at Arsenal and Villa in the hope of winning a move to Reading/Fulham.

I don't hold it against Makound and Balaban so much - they never really got a chance and had the good grace to fuck off when asked.  Same for Richards and Sidwell really, not good enough but you get the impression they wanted to play.  Ireland at least went out on loan and eventually pissed off.  Collymore was massively disappointing. 

But for me N'Zogbia is by far the worst.  No effort, no contribution and would prefer to sit on his arse taking the money and let his god given talent be wasted.  What an absolute ******.  He is already rich beyond most peoples wildest dreams, why not take a hit and actually go and play football somewhere?  I can never understand these players who put cash above a proper playing career.

I cannot think of a player I've ever disliked more.  Lazy, leaching ******.

I realise I may be part of a small minority but I rated Makoun.

I realise I may be part of a small minority but I rated Makoun.

Me too, I think McLeish dumping him the way he did was a mistake.  He played about 6-7 games and, whilst he was struggling with the pace of the league, he showed enough to suggest he could've been a good player for us the next year.  When you consider his 'replacement' was Jermaine Jenas it looks even worse.

I'd forgotten that numpty played for us. Terrible signing.

well he didnt really play did he ?

[Hookeysmith]

I was under the impression that contracts ran July1st to July 1st

I would imagine you may see leavers more around that time

Clubs must be rubbing their hands at the thought of picking up the likes of our Kieran or Charles
