TheBigDog Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 No more heart stopping Cruyff turns It was a blast while it lasted - good luck JP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Split people’s opinion I think JP. For me his ability to collect a cross has been one of the best we have seen at BP for years. Really took pressure off the back four something I hope iverson can do. Would of liked to have seen him play this season as I don’t think he was the same after his bereavement last season. Believe he was on approx £4K a week with living expenses so another big wage gone. Edited August 3, 2018 by adamoafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Decent for a month or two, I know people mentioned he changed after his mum died which is a horrible experience and thankfully not something I have had to endure as of yet but he wasn't great let's be honest and I can understand that being a reason for a while but he was shite even the last few weeks of the season. Likeable person it seemed but not up to scratch. Was it true he was earning 16k a week? I know that seems MADNESS but that was a rumour going round last year. People laughed at Queensy's rumoured 11k a week wage till the article came out. Wonder if Gerrards announcement will be this afternoon too.

Ryan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Quite sad about this despite the number of goals he cost us. An absolute loon who I grew to love - we won’t get another keeper like him. Good luck JP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sorrry to see him go in that he was a charachter and it would have been nice to see if Andy Rhodes could have developed him. Good luck JP, hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck JP, hope it works out. Me too. I loved his style and always thought he came in for a lot of undeserved stick, he would often make a great stop and then defense just stood motionless whist an attacker moved in to score- yet it was always Placides fault according to many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Generally happy with this. As mentioned, collecting crosses and commanding his area he was excellent at. Made some good saves, but generally thought he was at fault for a hell of a lot of goals last season, plus every shot straight at him ended up back out in to the danger area ready for the striker to pounce. Part of a defence which shipped over 70 goals, on a decent wage too by the sounds of it. Seemed a nice enough guy so good look in the future. Lets hope this Iverson is better.

johnafoafc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Sad to see him leave as he was a character. Perhaps Bunn has made it clear that he won’t be number one this season. However it does free up a wage so hopefully we will see another new arrival eg Cotterill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south east latic Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Was certainly a character and interesting to watch but I reckon he cost us more than he saved us with errors - most obviously at Northampton on the final day. Seems to make sense to part company, especially if he’s on £4k a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Obviously a good lad and a superb keeper when he was on his game. Sadly he was off it too many times but wish him all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceskylatic Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Apart from Doyle, JP is the only other one from last year’s team I’ll genuinely miss. As mentioned, he was a lunatic, but that was part of his charm. Enjoyed watching his kicks which led to goals, and the heartstopping Cruuyf turns. Good luck for the future Johny, all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Won't be missed at all by me and one of the reasons (Placide instead of Ripley) that we went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markspark92 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Loved Placide a goalkeeper that got you off the edge of your seat, made some amazing saves and contributed to a few goals first half of the season I remember his debut against Peterborough he became an instant hero, form dipped after losing his mother which is understandable, but still kept us in some games his penalty save against Rochdale was memorable, probaly on a decent wage and maybe this frees up a move for Ripley ?

Ryan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) 4K a week? Jeez. That must be approaching 2 million a year knocked off the wage bill now... Edited August 3, 2018 by Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 He had some good games and made a lot of reflex saves but also made a lot of clangers Good luck for the future and at least we won't have to put up with that awful chant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what level was he at for you to consider him to be over-rated? I think Ruddy came with a bigger reputation, being an under 23 Scottish international, and he was significantly worse. Most people on here would consider him to be better than some keepers we've had in recent years and not as good as a number of others.

archiecat Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That's what i meant Mike, people on here ! I can't understand why some thought he had a great command of his area and seemingly had the ability to pick crosses out of the air at will. There were times he was frightening to watch.
