Mido - Worth a punt?

If that's the case why didn't Martin O'Neill offer Mido a contract and he's ended up at Barnsley?

Robbie Blake and the word 'shit' do not belong in the same sentence.
Too slow, past it or too much timber would be fair enough.

As for Mido..... i can see this signing helping to shift another half a dozen Season Tickets but I can also see him going missing on a cold, wet and blustery tuesday night at Bloomfield Rd.
No doubt that he'll be injured more than he plays.

Sorry for the delay....

I can't get past shit...

Doffcocker,
Are you serious? Mido would do nothing for us - lightweight and ineffective and he can't stay at any club for more than a few months before he goes missing.
Kevin Davies,despite his years, will frighten the shit out of most of the Championship defences!

I don't know. I wasn't aware Martin O'Neill's judgement was gospel.

At age 29, there's a chance he will refind some of the form that once made him hot property. This is what we once did a lot of; taking a chance on players that had lost their way. All things considered, the deal won't have broke Barnsley's bank either.

Davies on the other hand is 35 and can only do so much with regards to his fitness, and thus, general ability. I don't understand why everybody thinks at Championship level he'll be our very own Pele.

But we'll see. In January when Davies is on 15 goals and Mido hasn't so much as started that many games, there'll be no shortage of people wanting to remind me.

It's not gospel, but it's many, many times better than yours. Perhaps you should consider the growing evidence that you might be wrong about Kevin Davies.

Your judgement of players isn't very good. Mido and Tuncay are both shit.

The WUMmed has become the WUM.

I'm not trying to wind you up. Mido and Tuncay are both shit. Why do you think one has ended up at Barnsley and the other can't get a game? It is because they are shit.

You should change your avatar to a bag of shit.

Tuncay can't get a game because Owen Coyle is shit.

And Tony Pulis. And whoever the Wolfsburg manager is who couldn't wait to get shut.

They're all shit and Tuncay is the Turkish Maradona. You know better than all of them.

Possibly.

I didn't think you'd even bite, to be honest.

But I like having opinions that aren't popular as it makes life more interesting. The fact you have to remind people of how many people disagree with them on an opinion that you don't like is illustrative of what a bad sport you are.

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, Mido is shit, Tuncay is shit, and your "I was WUMming, didn't you spot it? Silly you!" routine is shit too.

No I know you can spot when you're being WUMmed. Resisting is the bit you struggle with. Natasha must have regular wet dreams about you.

I think that Super Kev has been given the word that if he sticks around then a job on the coaching staff is there for him. I hope so, over the years he has been a great player for Bolton and is well respected throughout the football world.

Actually, your opinion of Kevin Davies has been so irrational and biased over so many months, it's not by any means a certainty that you are WUMming when comparing him disfavourably to Mido. You clearly don't rate Davies in any way whatsoever, was moaning about him after he scored both goals at Sunderland, etc. Who's to say how far you would take that?

I am sure Natasha has regularly wet dreams about me though.

Post 28 is the only wind-up of mine in this thread.

Actually, is a statement technically a wind-up if the author believes it to be true?

You have a fair point, but can we not ruin threads with abuse please, I don't want anyone to be banned.

Apologies, I've just posted my abuse in the Abuse Thread.

Never rated Mido to be honest, he does have that odd bit of brilliance but he's been unfit and i don't think he's motivated.

Tuncay i do think has a bit about him, i certainly wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more of him during the season, I don't think he's Ronaldo or anything but you can't accuse him of not giving his all he's a trier.

I think ChipButty is right, and whereas we talk about players being loyal to the club, its not all that often that we see the club being loyal with the players.Yeah, I know we can't offer them all positions, but each decision made by the club is on a purely financial basis, so we can't blame the players for taking the same approach.Its a business to all but you and me.
