Its not what he implied, its how he put it, telling a fanbase thats just watched their team lose out on another cup, that the second half they watched in hope was utterly pointless, as the players had chucked it at HT, is nothing short of disgraceful, the fans travelling from all over to watch players chuck it at HT Shambles HG5 and Willis 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had dutch internationals (ricksen), belgian internationals (buffel), a 6m left-back (ball), Arveladze, someone who'd played in a CL final not long before (Prso). That team was packed full of talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fairly clear you have no idea what the thinking is in the boardroom so to suggest you'd know for sure what they would have done with the hypothetical money from Goldson is fairytale stuff. There's literally nothing to suggest that at all. so we can assume your position that they would have spent a penny of it on a replacement - particularly given we never spent a penny over the summer - is equally 'fairytale stuff'?

Mate, we had a 40million CL bonus within touching distance and we tried to cheap out and get it without spending a penny. We went into this season knowing winning the title would almost certainly see us in the CL groups but again we cheaped out. Had we sold Goldson, we'd have still had Balogun, Helander, Katic and Simpson on our books (and postentially Edmundson). If we'd sold Goldson, we'd have went with what we had.

I'd would not level that at Goldson the amount of games he's played for us. Most of the animosity is because he has not signed a contract but bar the odd brain fart he gives 100%. There were real cowards on the field but even at the end Goldson although failing was still working hard and bursting a gut to get a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
