I saw him score a perfect hat tick against us at Oakwell in 1988. He’s looked like a world beater that day.

And then we signed him.... career killer.

David Currie should be on that poll list. Yet even though he came to us highly rated Paul Moulden was a let down for us.. 

David "chicken" Currie is a good shout. Very gifted but couldn't see a team-mate...….would dribble the ball everywhere that was ineffective so much so, I'm certain he forgot which end he was attacking.

Can they get a translator in. Can only imagine the gammon fielding him questions he won’t understand.

The Gammon.......who can you be referring to?

Where did all the money go is the question?

Lees Brewery, as major shareholder, took money out once we were relegated is my recollection.

Monty

I think we should declare a truce.

All we are both doing is trying to get the last stupid comment in and it's not healthy or funny.

If you want the last dig, go for it......make it a good one and get it out of your system.

You ok with that?

Once Jose got back playing he took a while to get up to speed, then the non league cloggers did for him just as he was looking the part. After the injury he was our best player under PS, the sending off at MK was a brain fart, give Jose a full season at this level he will walk it. 

I really want to agree with you but it's a gamble. 

We all want the Baxter who excited us in his first stint but that was sadly absent on his return.

But are you getting a fighting fit Baxter when you sign him now and one capable of playing 60% (discussion point only) of the season and 90 mins. on a regular basis.

As for the best player, I struggle to see past Lang.

Mike, you’ve spent the day demanding proof. Two trusted posters have now offered it to you but you don’t seem to be taking them up on their offers. Why is that? 

Ryan.....come on....you are better than that....I've already had early discussions to see Lee Sinnott's proof (see 5 posts back)....why the dig?

24 minutes ago, Monty Burns said:

How many first team matches did Jose play between, say, feb 2016 and august 2018?

iDon’t reply just find out and then shut the fuck up

I knew exactly how many matches he played but my point still stands.....you really are an obnoxious tw*t.

12 minutes ago, Monty Burns said:

I wouldn’t believe you at face value because your previous presents you as, at best, playing devils advocate and at worst a sad act internet arguing loner spouting randomly for the fun of it.

Sinnott and Jorvik have previous for leaking truthful information so therefore l take their posts [mostly] at face value.

That is quality coming from you....I don't think you have a genuinely good word for anyone.

Sad......naaah, very happy bloke really.

Internet arguing......absolutely.....no other Latics fan for miles apart from my daughter.

I've have no source and read carefully what is posted so what's wrong with playing devil's advocate until you receive definite proof?

Now, about you...…..what has made you into the miserable, obnoxious, argumentative sh*t that you appear to be on here?

2 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said:

Nope, I wouldn't. Because I have concrete proof. Others have seen it...

First match I get to, I'll buy you a pint and try to persuade you to reveal.

1 minute ago, Lee Sinnott said:

There are people on this message board who have seen proof...

Not going to contest that but I'm going to throw this comment in.

If I said I have evidence that was irrefutable in the opposite direction, would you just accept my word?

Can't wait for responses to the highlighted bit!!! 

Not really......I understand there are limitations on how to reveal information on a public forum.

It’s not debate when you just make stuff up

I agree so stop talking sh*te!!!

Accept the offer of evidence...

I'm still waiting...………..it's a long time coming.

6 minutes ago, Monty Burns said:

Wait. Jose wasn’t making his way back from around three years out of first team Football and Marco doesn’t interfere in team selection?

Go take your grump out on somebody else pls.

You're not big on debate, are you? So you make a comment on a public forum and then decide who can respond......presumably only those who agree with you. I'll take your one grump and raise you two miserable.

For the record, I really wanted him to do well and we only saw fleeting moments of his talent last season but not enough to justify another contract.

13 minutes ago, Monty Burns said:

Why would we have to wait half a season again? Will he be serving another black hole space time affected ban during his month off?

He didn't last time but he still struggled for and with injuries for over half of last season. Can we afford or risk another season like that?  

30 minutes ago, latics22 said:

Yes he was finding fitness and form

"Finding" being the word....is he worth the wait for over half a season again.

Should have offered pay per play.

Well I had a  big night Friday and there was no shuck, so I assume I'm not him...

WOW....this is big change.....you've gone from categorically stating your not Shuck to now assuming you're not.

Believe what you will, what was said in public and said in private are two different things, and yes I've seen the evidence which is 100% cast iron of interference during his first stint.

 

Let alone offering Benteke a new deal, carting his Captain and removing his ability to choose who was retained.

 

Believe who you like and what you like, I'll believe the truth.

Not disbelieving what you know but you for those who haven't had this first hand experience, it's difficult to just blindly accept and all we can do is question the subject.

PW didn’t play him during the transfer window. PS then joins and is allowed to play him due to him insisting on no interference (the interference stated when he left was AL offering contracts without consulting him). PS leaves and Hunt is immediately dropped He later makes an appearance in the squad out of necessity. How is this so hard to understand? 

Your point make more sense now except for the question...….what was the point of keeping/punishing a player who was a borderline starter when we could have "sold" him and picked an adequate back up on a short term deal?

7 minutes ago, Monty Burns said:

It would have worked, he played well under Scholes. Just, understandably, was not willing to take a 50% pay cut.

But on the season long snapshot was he worth a new contract on the same conditions.

34 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said:

We said that when Bullshit Baz swooped in for Baxter...

Understandable when you consider Everton where prepared to help him out through his troubles and then give him a contract to start playing again. He gave an interview in one of the broadsheets thanking Bill Kenwright and stating he was now clean.

Taking all that into account and his exciting play for us first time around, he was definitely worth the gamble. Just a shame it didn't work out.
