You should have said to him "As an accountant I'd recommend you see out your contract. As a Villa fan, ge tae fuck outta my club!"

Lol not his fault the daft fool faulkner gave him that contract

His goals kept us up that first season. We've bought worse players.
And in fairness his goals the following season. We weren't doing terribly until he got injured. He played half a season and was still easily our top scorer.

Did anybody else know that a couple of weeks ago Ben Siegrist joined Cambridge on loan until the end of the season?

Don't recall seeing it mentioned at any point.

yeah saw him play for the U's vs Barnet after watching the annual drubbing by Manure on the telly.

He could do nothing about the Barnet goal, but he was solid through out , came off his line and did all the basic things very well.

I looked a few weeks back and he was on the bench which is a shame as he was progressing really well say three months ago.

Spoke to a Sheffield Weds fan at weekend. He said Gary G wasn't up to much in his games for them. They got him due to having injuries and as soon as these cleared they didn't bother wanting to keep him.

23! Where did the time go Nathan? Only yesterday you were 16 and looking the real deal for England.

Sad for us and him unless something remarkable happens.

If he's not careful he'll be another Stefan Moore. Plenty of talent but something in his attitude just doesn't seem right.

Sounds like he's already there, PWS.

It's strange how our academy has worked out with strikers in recent years. I would say in terms of natural ability, the Moores and Delfouneso had more than Gabby and Weimann. As it has transpired of course, the latter are still in the top flight playing regularly.
I think you need exceptional hard work, and to be honest, in Gabby's case, he was a limited player as a lad (still is if we're honest) who had one exceptional attribute. To still be a Premier League regular after 8 years takes a great deal of hard work and will to succeed. He's improved slowly as a player too. Likewise Weimann might be struggling at the moment, but the lad isn't the most technically gifted. He does work bloody hard though, and not only that, he's overcome a serious injury early in his career too and still broken through.

I think another part of it is aggression. Gabby has plenty of aggression in the way he plays, as does Weimann. They don't let the big boys bully them. To some extent I felt like the Moores and Fonzy could sometimes be wet blankets. They could get bullied out of games. Of course Darius was a bit of a softy but still succeeded at this level, though in truth he had a hell of a lot of talent but what he lacked in aggression he made up for in application, even if it times you just wish he had more self confidence.

If only you could meld Fonzy and Weimann together. You'd have a hell of a player.
