1) Great, another Bullard thread; 2) I don't blame him for earning the money he's on, but I have lost a great deal of respect for him over the last 12 months; 3) The thing that I find most irksome is that he failed a medical and we still signed him.
Let the mercenary sod rot in the reserves until he is no longer a suitable investment for anyone ,then he can go fishing without pay !!!
Agreed. Ricardo's argument sums it up well, why should City go out of their way? If Bullard wants to play football (money aside I assume he enjoys the game and wants to actually play it) then it's up to him to prove it. Nobody's blaming him for the contract he was given, but the chance is there for him (probably his last) to join QPR in the PL & if he loves the game then he should be sitting down with the owners and thrashing out a deal without being too greedy.
A championship club loaning out a player to a premiership club is a very unusual state of affairs. Only a totally disastrous contract decision could see that scenerio happening. Worst transfer decision in the history of the club in my opinion.
Followed by selling Turner for peanuts while getting Sonko on loan? I wonder who was in charge when those deals happened?
We can't give him away now on them wages and we gave Fulham 5 million on top too! Would'nt it be nice if someone gave us 5 million for him and we could get him off the payroll, that kinda puts that transfer into perspective. Oh and Percy that had nothing to do with the Pearsons, that little mistake falls firmly on the shoulders of RB, PB, and PD. If he was that good and we would still be in the prem or promoted last year if we had played him etc how come no other club want him at 45k a week on a free? Surely a player of that standard would be worth a gamble if it meant prem football, or maybe just maybe everybody else in charge of football clubs know more about football than you.
Has anybody noticed? The clock (for postings) is an hour slow!! Edit: It's just righted itself again!!!!!
I'm still confused about WBA loaning Man U Kusczak for a season when they got relegated even though the permanent transfer had been agreed. Must have been something disastrous in the contract there for the permanent to be delayed like that.
It's not the Man U element that threw me with it. I could understand the Henrik Larsson loan because he wanted to go home to Sweden at the end of the season, and a permanent transfer would have meant that in the Swedish season he'd already have played for 2 clubs so I don't think he could move there if it had been a permanent switch. But WBA agreed the transfer fee and did the deal and then announced it was starting as a loan.
Durban - I agree. I predicted this would happen all along. Adam knew this, the Allams knew this and sadly that is whats happened. The guy doesn't even have an Agent so confident is he of negotiating his own deal. Not interested in money - fook off.
Today's Sun: JIMMY BULLARD has told Hull he will quit for a £1million kiss-off. The injury-hit midfielder, 32, has managed only 24 Tigers appearances and still has 24 months left on his £45,000-a-week 4½-year deal. Bullard knows he does not figure in boss Nigel Pearson's plans and that his salary has put off potential suitors QPR, Norwich and Ipswich.
According to twitter he is on the verge of going out on loan to QPR (about an hour ago). If the Sun report is right it would be a bargain for us for a million quid kiss off but coming from the paper that had Jimmy signed, sealed and delivered to Celtic I have my doubts.
