WIZZO83 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26287297 I would take him if he became available.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 He definitely had something. But 4 goals in the last 38 appearances alongside his "issues" isn't compelling. (Thanks for using PlayerShare WebShop btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZO83 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I would put his recent poor goal scoring record down to his court case possibly, plus the Championship level maybe a little out of reach, also players in a poor championship side. (did it come through? Its not showing up on my transactions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I wouldn't. We've been down the road of signing a complete :censored: of a striker straight out of jail before. Didn't exactly go swimmingly with Hughes and he was a far better player than Madine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sent you a PM regarding WebShop. You might be right about the reason's for Madine's form. He'd be a risk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZO83 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Lee Hughes scored 25 in 55 for us. No striker in the past 20 years has that goal ratio for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm sure other footballers have done a lot worse than Hughes but never caught or convicted... ..I'm not condoning what he did but we signed him, he played for us and he scored goals....it's part of our history now I'm afraid. It sickens me that our club is instantly linked to everyone who's served a prison sentence based on us signing Hughes. However Madine like Hughes like Ched Evans once he's released will attract and be signed by a professional club regardless of their actions or moral compass.

GlossopLatic Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) The point with Hughes is that a bad apple can ruin the cart. While someone like that may bring goals in the short term they can be destructive to the squad as a whole. The atmosphere around the place just before Hughes departure was poisonous and it lead to the end of season fall out with doggate and the run of poor results. It's a no from me Edited February 22, 2014 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm sure other footballers have done a lot worse than Hughes but never caught or convicted.... Not sure if Running off from a crash which kills someone will be topped by many to be honest. Never wanted Hughes. Never sang his name. The fact Montano is looked at as a worse character than Hughes is bizzare and to be honest is sickening to me. Madine, if we signed him I wouldnt be that bothered, but I certainly wouldnt be running around prisons for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Madine like Hughes like Ched Evans once he's released will attract and be signed by a professional club regardless of their actions or moral compass. I'm not sure other footballers have, with the exception of that GK, McCormack. Hughes killed a man, if I was running the country he might only just be getting out of prison now. Someone will sign Madine, but if he goes to Carlisle they will become the team that is linked with those sort of players, having already signed Meppen-Walter. FWIW I'm not sure I'd bother, with his possible form issues and the fact that he gets close to Hughes on a footballing c*** meter, if not higher, given this isn't his first brush with law, factor in that we've got a player with at least as good, if not better pedigree, but without the c***ish behaviour.
