Thiago97 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Just now, Mark Kelly said: Don't include me in the "bricking it" pile please. I agree with a lot of what has been said pro Poch but by the same token , we're not talking about prime Mourinho , Klopp or Pep were talking about the bloke who came third in a two horse race with the best side he's ever had in the Premier League and when the chips are down constantly makes the wrong decision. You can point and laugh at me on here when we're mid table this time next year if you like. It dont matter if we are mid table. If Poch goes to Utd and takes them top4 and we finish 5th......it all still looks up there with one of the most ridiculous decisions a club can take. We won't have achieved what was required without him, whilst we would have handed a major rival a massive foot on the ladder of becoming relevant again. If you have no fear of this scenario, then you are a braver man than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chara Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Excellent post(s) as usual @Morgs..... agree with the overall long post but slightly differ with some bits...not disagree more a different view of things. Actually just reread the post and I am in more agreement than indicated above !,,,,I think my "differences" only relate to maybe things,whilst not looking good,are maybe not quite so bad and I feel,rightly or wrongly. that The Poch was not the innocent injured party in the mix.... the whole affair reeks of "nudge nudge wink wink" with an amazing wall of silence prior to the "split" which as I see it was agreed a while back...how long I have no idea but hindsight at 20/20 shows hints,,,maybe the post Arse semi revival had to do with no pressure being felt by The Poch as everything was settled ?...presser were "different" and the atmosphere felt different but not for the reasons us anti long term Poch'ers thought? Not the abject failure Potter was and as you say we are here thinking how things should have been. Solanke ?.... from The Coming man refusing to resign for Chelsea,,all reeked of "Me Me too good to wait" and off to Scouseland to stick it to Chelsea and become a star (Contrast Cole ).....didn't make it and has spent the time since then making a living in shallower waters...a good season at 26 ?....if this time next season he has duplicated his form then just maybe but the game's history is littered with good, average EPL players having exceptional seasons only to slip back into their average level....and if a 26 year old in his physical prime CF can't pull the oldest CH in the league around a bit ?..(average in the EPL is not a criticism) Always enjoy your posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant. And probably won’t win anything wherever he ends up. He and Man Utd deserve each other, and if he thought he had squad issues here, good luck with theirs.

Whatever we get will be a result - fee wise. Could spoil the relationship going forward, once they discover what they've acquired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceleryx Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Still hurts my soul we didn't sell him after his return from Southampton for the £30m odd we were reportedly offered. He never looked the standard from the beginning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to keep Broja (for selfish, Slough related reasons) but as soon as West Ham were reportedly interested at the price, it became madness not to entertain it.

He never looked the standard from the beginning. There was about two months whilst on loan at Southampton where he looked promising. The people I know down there said that his attitude then became such that they doubted his mindset and didn’t fancy him because of that. From the moment I saw him on the pitch for us I knew he wasn’t of the required standard, far from it. As poor a player as I’ve seen over the last 30 years play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
