Habib Birthday!
-
Is that the millionaire footballer,Habib Baye ??
-
Surely the worst signing of recent years, Heskey was shite, but the attitude was there and always gave his all, Habib didn't give a shit
-
He was better than Hutton.
-
When will this day be declared a public holiday, that's what I want to know.
-
Just looked at his Wiki entry, "currently without a club after being released by Doncaster Rovers".
-
Major difference between MON signing Beye and Lambert signing Lowton. I can't imagine the financial mess we would be in now if that crazy spending was allowed to continue.
-
He was better than Hutton.
His attitude wasn't.
-
He had a birthday every week on his wages at Villa. ******.
-
Hope he doesn't get any presents then he'll know what its like to see someone not give a shit
-
Habib happy birthday love!
-
He was better than Hutton.
His attitude wasn't.
I can't really see what more was expected of him. He was given a stupid contract, did perfectly well when played (one out of position aberration against Rapid Vienna aside) only to be dropped for the next dozen or so matches.
It was obviously a ridiculous signing, but I can't see what Beye himself is guilty of in what went wrong.
-
He was crap. Not bothered about his attitude but he was crap. So were Shorey, Sidwell, Davies, Harewood, Heskey, and Cuellar. All gone and with it our money and optimism. A lot of re-building to do because of O'Neill. Lets not forget who got usinto this and not focus our anger on average players given great wages.

Bit harsh on Cuellar, but agree with the gist of it.
-
Inadequate player, decent individual.

With the exception of Cuellar I agree with that.
-
i watched a bit of the season review on MONs first season. He said it was about getting to know the players he had at first and not bring in anyone willy nilly that wouldnt improve the squad .
I refer you to the players listed above and wonder what changed his attitude

The fact he said he'd never play for us again and would take the 40k a week off us
-
Maybe for us he said he'd never play for us again because he knew he'd never play for us again?
-
The irony is he was decent at Newcastle, they really liked him

Another victim of MON's peerless man management?

When did he say that? All I remember him supposedly saying was when he was at Doncaster he didn't want to come back. Which considering how long he had been here and how little he had been picked to play isn't surprising.

I'd go along with this, including Cuellar, and I'd even throw in NRC.
-
Didn't Houllier play him at home to Chelsea, 0-0, this time two years ago? Seem to remember he had a good game, then played a couple of times more and I think that was it. Can't remember if there was a bust-up with GHou or not.
Either way, it would have been best all-round if we hadn't gazumped Hull for his signature when he left Newcastle.
-
He always looked to me as if he'd make a better centre half than a right back. I've seen a lot worse players down there.

Aye. We gazumped Wigan for Harewood as well didn't we? Offered him twice the wages or something.

Shortly before, I'm pretty certain I seen it through here
-
meh
-
i dont agree with all this crap stuff,
he always did OK on the rare occasion he turned out, he was just to old and on a too long contract, i cant rememebr him having a really bad game for villla, i know he didnt play many, but i can remember Hutton and Warnock having massive stinkers.
as for his bad attitude its the first i've heard of it,
the problem i would have with him is that he probably could have moved elsewhere for less money but money was more important than playing the game, but thats his decision in the end

So it's not really a fact then is it if the only evidence he said it is you think you read it on here.
-
Beye was Barcodes player of the season before we bought him. He was a decent player - just paid too much and underplayed. A classic MON gaff.
Move on.
-
Had a great song though.
-
No anger towards Beye, just MON pubehead.
Met Beye once while he was with us, in a bar (not great I know), seemed an ok bloke, had a very big watch on that was worth about 80k.

well said PW

Sunday, Monday, Habib Beye.

Id be ok If I had probably earned about 5,500.000 in wages doing nothing.
-
Was very highly rated at Newcastle. When he signed a couple of fans said he'd be better than Luke Young.
In fairness the few games he did play in the league he did o.k for me. One game he came in against Spurs and got MOTM I think.
Just this sort of signing that sums up what's wrong with modern football and MON's managerial style. Modern football as he was a 40k a week bench warmer.
MON as why the hell did he sign him when he just then decided to play Carlos at RB for most of that season so we had two expensive RBs warming the bench in Young and Beye.
-
From 2013 onwards there will be many more Habib Beyes
Hopefully not at this club though
-
He was better than Hutton.
I'm better than Hutton. Even after the operation to make myself look like a merman by having my legs fused together.

I'll throw in a Salifou.
-
Was Salifou on high wages though? I doubt he was on anything more then 20-25k.
-
I doubt he was earning more than 10k. Still, it'll have been much more than he earned before, since or ever again.
-
Probably. To be fair to him, he was an integral part of our successful reserve team and I'm sure the likes of Bannan, Albrighton, Clark etc benefited from playing alongside an international.
-
In fairness the few games he did play in the league he did o.k for me. One game he came in against Spurs and got MOTM I think.
Was it against West Ham that he gave away a penalty, got sent off and we lost 3-1? I seem to remember.

Then Cuellar played the next game and got sent off.
-
You forgot Warnock, Collins and Dunne as well. Barring a half decent 1st season for Dunne, those 3 were/are utter shit.
Cuellar and NRC were adequate, and would be good enough to be in the current squad, although on lower wages than we paid them back then.
