of course he's slagging Yates off. He has a great deal of history for it.
Yes and now an assist too. He has done well at Plymouth now doing well in a league above us.I could never understand why despite some promise we let him go without giving him a proper chance for us. Sheer stupidity.
He wasn't ready at the time. We got to the Championship without him. He got games in L1. He wanted games and we couldn't give him games at the time.
Well we were playing Nuttall at the time.He would surely have been better than him. Or after he did well at Plymouth on loan we just let him go.
Fair point but Nuttall didn't play that much? As I remember it. Hardie should have been given more games though, you're right.
I never understood why we never gave him a chance
Aside from Jerry’s work ethic which we all applaud, as a striker he is very good in lg1 but bang average in the Champ. He is easily knocked off the ball, he takes to long go get the ball under control, has ball control generally is average at best and he goes on long runs of games without scoring. I’m sorry to say but he is simply not good enough for the Champ. We got amazing money for him and Joseph as well - great business if you ask me
We obviously disagree. But i `ll leave it to you to descend into personal abuse. I`d prefer just to have honest courteous debates which is what this forum should be about something else that we clearly disagree on..
“Best player this decade?”
well it started in 2020 so who do you think is better?
I've just had a quick look on Twatter and Swansea fans certainly arent happy.
I do think some of our fan base got carried away with him as he's such a lovable character. On his day, Bowler was better than Yates. However, he scored some great goals for us and is comfortably a championship player imo
Spot on Daz.
£3m + Joseph is looking like a very good deal today. We won't know really until next season I suspect.
Surely he meant in a decade or it's rather pointless mentioning it.
not sure you understand the meaning of decade. He said this decade not in a decade. .This decade is the 2020's not the last ten years. See my earlier post.
A decade can refer to a ten years back from now.
The only one I would say was better was Bowler, on his day Bowler was brilliant. I dont think anyone else was better than Yates since 2020.
Well if it were me, I'd say last ten years if that is what i meant. This decade is the 2020's and that's how i read the post.
Keep collecting the milk bottle tops you’ll soon have your guide dog!
This decade as in the 2020s. Who has been better then??
Maybe. But people say it all the time, worked here for a decade for e.g. If they say it now I don't think oh they've been here 4 years, they mean 10.
Because every time he played he was crap?
Not bad on humour if not on judgment. Clearly we`ve done a great deal with Swansea. Delighted that Joseph is looking very promising now he`s fully fit.Keep collecting the milk bottle tops you’ll soon have your guide dog!
you have to laugh at 1950's with the nerve of his hypocrisy. He uses Critchley as a back up of his opinion on Yates citing Critchley often leaving Yates out. But on this same thread he says the decision to let Ryan Hardie to go as "sheer stupidity". Mmmm... yep it was Critchley who let Hardie go! Doesn't quite sit with your point that does it 1950's?
To be fair to Critchley with this one, Hardie wanted to leave. He'd already had his loan spell at Plymouth and loved it, so Critchley just respected his wishes. I'm sure Critchley wanted to keep him, it was Grayson that fucked any chance of him wanting to stay up.
