PaddockLad 14486 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Modric seems like an Allardyce type of player as well. Modric signed for spurs the same week he, his agent and the chairman of Dinamo Zagreb were at SJP negotiating with Chris Mort and Dennis Wise, 3 months after Allardyce had been peddalled in mid January for his abysmal stone age football. Away at Wigan on boxing day that season remains the single worst performance from an Newcastle United side I'd seen at that point......unbeleiveably there's been 2 or 3 worse under Pardew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was basically all set to sign and Ashley wouldn't cough up the fee / wages and it was the beginning of the souring of KK's relationship with him because he'd been sold on coming back on the basis he had plenty money available for players.

Andrew 4182 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It was something like half a million we missed out on Modric by in the end wasn't it?Following which Spurs rocketed off into the champions league and we got relegated...over simplification I know but still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Following which Spurs rocketed off into the champions league and we got relegated...over simplification I know but still And sold him for a nice, fat profit to Real Madrid as well (which Ashley must kick himself about too). The daft thing about the whole Wise debacle was that one he's clearly an absolutely shite judge of players. Whereas spotting good players was always one of Keegan's great strengths as a manager.

Alex 30216 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 They finished sixth once - a fine achievement for Bolton but he always talks as if such positions were the norm. They finished top 8 in each of his last four seasons there. Not that I like him at all but he had achieved a way of playing which consistently got good results at Bolton. Spent a canny bit of money too though, especially on wages. I think he's a fraud in the sense he tries to convince people he could adapt the way he plays. He was pretty one-dimensional at Bolton. The first half of this season at West Ham they've played some good football but he'd have been playing with Carroll as a target man all season if he'd been fit so you have to wonder how much of that is down to him and how much it's a one-off.

PaddockLad 14486 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 West Ham lad said the same to me the other day Carroll and Nolan were injured at the start of the season so downing was played in behind another striker (name escapes me) and the football was good to watch and results encouraging. Carroll and Nolan return to fitness they're both straight back in, Downing is shifted out wide and we know the rest. That's why the hammers lads all want him out after they got twatted in the cup. Nothing will change as long as he's there, but it also looks like Allardyce isn't getting a new contract anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19717 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 my west ham mate says exactly the same stuff we used to say about nolan - good finisher but a passenger when he isn't scoring. nothing new there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I still don't understand how he gets away with his shite about being progressive....he might have 100 back room staff and 20 prozone analysts but to me his football is backward and by and large dreadful to watch. He's come out with shitty comments about us since he left and our "expectations" I can't stand him and think he's a charlatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
