There'll always be some who like Rob & some who are infuriated by him at times. If it is his last season with us then thank you Rob & good luck. He deserves recognition for what he's done with City. He scored some important goals for City in our promotion season. At the time when our strikers like Jay Simpson, Nick Proschwitz, Aaron Mclean etc couldn't hit a barn door.
Top guy, great player for us, but all good things come to an end, am sure his wages will be spent wisely next season on a younger more regular player
He infuriated me as much as anything else towards the end but as you say he deserves recognition. Particularly the goals Party pointed out against Leicester and Watford. He was at one point our best attacking player and goal threat.
I thought Harper's contract had a clause were if he played a set number of first team games he automatically gets another year? And he surpassed that weeks ago.
His Leicester goal was just amazing, Pearson thought he had the draw he had come for then Robbie blasts it in the top corner from outside the box. Had everyone of us on our feet, memorable.
I don't understand how you could possibly suggest getting rid of Brady. If the doctors think his injury will get better I would trust their judgement. He has been the player we've missed the most this season, we have no natural width on the left and a complete lack of creativity that would have been provided by him and Aluko. He was on top form pre injury and at the time was playing like one of the best wingers in the league. To replace someone like him would cost £5m+.
This ^ Brady will be like a new and expensive player for us next season. Also Meyler, he's been one of our best players this season, reminds me of Ashbee with his lack of flair, but being so effective in other areas. Yes there are better players out there Mel, but they don't play for us, and we can't afford them.
See, I don't think he has. I think he's been average over the course of the season; agaisnt Liverpool and Sheffield United he was outstanding, but he's so frustrating to watch, he gives the ball away far too much and his high centre of gravity means he spends a lot of time on the deck. If he played like he did against the aforementioned teams, he'd be an £8-10m player, but as he is I find him too inconsistent. He's a good squad player to have, but I think in Quinn, Huddlestone and hopefully Livermore we have better midfield options.
All of those I have put in bold are stupid suggestions to get rid of. I mean, really? Meyler has been one of our best players this season for crying out loud.
As that Leicester game has been mentioned a fair bit.... [video=youtube;Br3eNkGSQK4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br3eNkGSQK4[/video] ...probably about the only time we ever got more than 30 seconds on the Football League Show.
I did say that I would not complain if they went, not that I want them to go. I also said that it is only Brady's injury that makes me think that. He has been out a long time and his recovery does not look like its coming through anytime soon. With limits to squad size, should we keep hold of him and "miss" him for part of next season as well. Meyler is a player who I like but as one poster has said he is inconsistent. We have to improve the squad so if five out of my list go and "better" players are brought in fine by me.
So, because Meyler is inconsistent, you wouldn't be bothered to see him go. By that logic, you wouldn't mind to see nearly every player in the squad go then.
A big mistake imo with us being in europe. Unless of course SB has a better replacement lined up. If this is the end for Robbie Koren then thanks for all those great goals and your time at our club.
