February 18, 200917 yr Just waiting for the "Jimmy Bullard - worth a punt?" thread I can't work out the worse suggestion, buying Bullard in this window for ?5m or Leroy Lita in the last January window for ?8m.
February 18, 200917 yr I can't work out the worse suggestion, buying Bullard in this window for ?5m or Leroy Lita in the last January window for ?8m. That is a difficult one, Hull could be well and knackered now, as he'll no doubt happily sit there and take their ?40K/?50k per week for the remainder of his contract. I don't see anybody else coming in for him and offering that kind of money with his history of injuries. I hope he comes back next year and plays very well, I also hope it's in the division below the one we are in
February 18, 200917 yr Just a proposition for you all: Megson might have thought that Bullard was worth ?5m or even more. Maybe as a club, we decided that ?15m over 4yrs was too much for a 30yr old. A transfer is never just about the actual fee. Megson Out. Gartside Out Duckworth Out Davies (Eddie, Kevin & Mark!) Out Doris the tea lady Out! Get the dream team of Butch Allardyce and The Sunbed Kid back in!
February 18, 200917 yr what is it with steadmam bloke, does he have the monopoly on footballer knees ops or something? No hes just the best there is! probably the most expensive too Look what happend to Laville when he insisted on having some french surgeon do the work?? BSA should have put his foot down and sent him to Denver
February 18, 200917 yr Do you not mean Mugson Out. Gartslime Out Duckegg Out Davies (Eddie, Kevin & Mark!) Out Doris the tea lady Out! Do we have a nasty name for the kettle man and Doris?
February 18, 200917 yr Do you not mean Doris the tea lady Out! Do we have a nasty name for the kettle man and Doris? My 9 year old dowter makes a better brew than our Doris. After 40 years she still doesnt realise you have to leave the tea bag in until the water has at least turned a different colour. Preferably dark brown, but even a light tan would suffice. So for that reason alone, where do I join the witchhunt and do I need my grey joggers and bedsheet?
February 18, 200917 yr I never realised that your Doris was Bolton Tea Lady Doris. Mind you, I've only met one Doris. So it must be her.
February 18, 200917 yr I can't work out the worse suggestion, buying Bullard in this window for ?5m or Leroy Lita in the last January window for ?8m. elmander at ?11m? (or ?30m)
February 18, 200917 yr See our other current sick note, no not Vaz, has had a knee operation and one guess who did it: Bolton defender Joey O'Brien is facing a further spell on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery in the United States. O'Brien, who has made only eight appearances this season, has been out of action since October with the knee injury. Bolton decided to send O'Brien to leading knee specialist Dr Richard Steadman to try and clear up the problem and the club are hopeful the Republic of Ireland international will return to action before the end of the season.
February 18, 200917 yr Surely it must be time to release the lad to Carlise or somewhere else problem is he is probabnly on about ?7K per week, and nobody outside the top two divisions would match that wage, so he'll be here until his contract expires, same as Vaz Te................
February 18, 200917 yr JOB will be around for a few years yet. His ability to not know where his best position is, makes him the perfect modern day 'versatile' player that every squad needs about 5 of.
February 18, 200917 yr job will be back in the team as soon as he's fully fit. although im not all too sure why, megson seems to really rate him.
February 18, 200917 yr job will be back in the team as soon as he's fully fit. although im not all too sure why, megson seems to really rate him. it's because they both played def mid for sheff wed, bet you that's why
February 18, 200917 yr job will be back in the team as soon as he's fully fit. although im not all too sure why, megson seems to really rate him. don't think he will. his lack of match fitness and lack of available games when he returns should see us finish the season without him....thankfully. joey lacks pace and mobility. not premiership quality.
February 18, 200917 yr don't think he will. his lack of match fitness and lack of available games when he returns should see us finish the season without him....thankfully. joey lacks pace and mobility. not premiership quality. rewind to when JOB ousted Hunt from the team he was touted as the best thing since sliced bread. For me JOB could be a decent 7/10 player nowt special but hardly the weak link in the team
February 18, 200917 yr job will be back in the team as soon as he's fully fit. Won't be for a while then - Bolton's O'Brien out for eight more weeks after surgery Bolton midfielder Joey O'Brien will be out for another eight weeks after having an operation on his knee. The Republic of Ireland international hasn't played for the club since October. The club say they're hopeful he'll be available to play again before the end of the season. http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/sp...ry-1644838.html
February 18, 200917 yr rewind to when JOB ousted Hunt from the team he was touted as the best thing since sliced bread. For me JOB could be a decent 7/10 player nowt special but hardly the weak link in the team I wouldn't say ousted. It was more Hunt Being poor than anything Joey did well. As previous posters have mentioned his versatility has helped him. If you're not good enough in the premier league you'll get found out, and for me when Joey plays midfield he gets found out. Muamba is a much better option than JOB in midfield and Steinsson is a better right back. We should be aiming for better than decent.
February 19, 200917 yr I wouldn't say ousted. It was more Hunt Being poor than anything Joey did well. didn't Hunt get injured and JOB come in and play well?
February 19, 200917 yr ps bullard out for the season from the ull website Jimmy Bullard underwent a procedure last night in America to repair a torn cartilage. Whilst performing the arthroscopy, the surgeon noticed fresh damage to his anterior cruciate ligament. In the best interests of both the player and Hull City Football Club it was decided to undertake a reconstruction of the damaged ligament which means that Jimmy will be unavailable for the remainder of this season. The Club wishes Jimmy a speedy recovery and look forward to his return in a Tigers' shirt as soon as possible.
February 19, 200917 yr So Roy Hodgson bet like he had a royal flush but won the hand with a pair of twos? Fair play!
February 19, 200917 yr The conspiracy theorist/general cynic inside me says you don't go to Steadman for a routine repair to a slight cartilage tear. Hmmmmmmm! Routine repair?
February 19, 200917 yr I think Bullard is finished at the top level, the 2 breakdowns in such a short time do not bode well, unfortunately for Hull they will be paying for this for the next 4 1/2 years.
February 19, 200917 yr I wonder if thats why Bullard held out for such a good deal? On the chance that he knew his knee could go again and that could be it for him.
Going to Hull City!!! Sky Sports News.
Is he on crack?
