People always blame him for his pen being saved vs Cardiff nearly costing us promotion but they forget Faye's bloody ridiculous handball 15 seconds later.
Every goal and every point was invaluable in promotion, Proschwitz was still a flop and hardly played any part in our season. That money could have got a far better player in who could have scored more goals, making the whole thing a lot more comfortable, perhaps even winning the league.
I didnt see it as his hand being pushed at all. Faye's body language as soon as it is given suggests he knows he did it.
It's more about the importance than how many, 2 v Ipswich that got us a win. 1 v Cardiff that helped us go up. He also made me £25 when scoring v Huddersfield in the league cup, would've made me more if he'd scored the second & it finished 2-0, but never mind!
Didn't we pay less for Dame N'Doye? That kind of says everything that needs saying about the floppy German. He was rubbish and there's absolutely no denying it.
True. I blame all those Hull City wang kers who went onto the pitch for the miss. Thankfully the pen miss did not matter. Nick P. looks almost has happy as one Aaron Lennon did @ Everton.
We didn't initially, but promotion to the Premier League triggered payments that made the fees roughly the same for the pair of them.
As I've said all along since the week we signed him, that's not my understanding. The media reports of his price and any subsequent fees are vastly overrated according to the same source who told me that we paid no initial fee for Quinn when every single media outlet reported for months that he cost £350k.
As I understand it, the initial fee was nearer £1m than the £2.6m publicised, but that promotion pushed it over £2m.
I said from the week we signed him that the fee was just over £1million but I was told that any add ons were much smaller than doubling the price..
