Sam Johnstone - now retired

[LeeS]

Sam seemed to have a real affinity with us. Wonder if he would have chosen us on less wages if we could have afforded the transfer fee.

Firstly that never happens and secondly we are a basket case of a club so he probably drove away from Bodymoor Heath like greased lighting.

Great, now I've got that song stuck in my head!

I'd been thinking that someone should amend the thread title. Just realised that 'someone' is me....so I have

EDIT - who's changed it again ?

We need to get shot of Bunn and give Steer and Sarkic a chance of regular first-team action.

As I said in an earlier post, I wouldn't be adverse to Bunn getting another year if Steer is going to be first choice as we could probably do with a back up option with a bit of experience.  I would have a look at Sarkic next season and if he is ready to step up, we could move Bunn on at the end of the season.

Bunn has already left hasn’t he?  His contract expired.

Bunn is fucking shite. Remember him the end of the relegation surrender season? Appallingly bad, I can't remember who it was against but one goal (amongst the dozens we conceded) he ended up laughably tangled up in the next whilst the ball was still in play.

[mr underhill]

he's shite with hundreds and thousands on top

[aj2k77]

Apparently he's another one that's good in the dressing room and quite funny though. So he can earn his wage being the second most expensive jester in the world behind good old ''Meeks''.

there must be somewhere out of here, said the joker to the thief?

Wasn't Hutton reported to have turned down better offers to stay with us?

Where has this affinity with the fans nonsense come from? I have a 7 year old lad who often waits by the players car park for autographs and photo's after the game, whilst most happily oblige Sam Johnstone would often completely ignore the kids and walk straight to his car.

A decent keeper but there was no affinity with the fans that I saw.

[mr underhill]

time to lock this one. He was never our player , always an average player, and now he's someone else's player.

Alan Hutton is 33 and will never play at a better club than Aston Villa. Plus he's probably settled family wise for life now and doesn't want to up sticks again. Johnstone has the whole world at his feet

Johnstone promptly kicks the world out for a throw in.
