The last goal and last start being in November. I'm guessing there's a reason that he stopped starting games. I check every game and he didn't even make the squad for a stretch of games in a row, so I am absolutely not surprised at all. Link to post Share on other sites

I think they signed him before terminating Walker's loan too. It sounds like we want him to get more regular minutes somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,240 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm sure it was done to death at the time of the interview, but i've just listened to the Downing/Schwarzer interview on Schwarzer's podcast. We seem to have a big problem with the way we treat our players particularly when they're on their way out. Schwarzer admitted that he really wants to have that close affinity with the club but he finds it difficult because of the way he was treated by the hierarchy/Gibson. They mention that Downing, Viduka, Schwarzer and Mendieta all suffered similar fates. These are players we should be celebrating. We can only dream of seeing their caliber playing for us again. Baffling and not a good look for the club. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually pretty disgusting how we seem to have treated some of the best players to ever wear the shirt. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah it's kind of a weird thing to do. Why treat employees badly when you know they talk to other potential employees. Is it Gibson getting a hissyfit when people don't do what he says? But the Viduka thing was never going to end well if it was true that he was demanding a wage that would take more than half our gate reciepts. I'm sure not all players and agents cover themselves in glory and lots of times players can look a their agents behaviour when relationships turn sour. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah viduka is probably an odd one out in that quartet. The downing and schwarzer stuff is well documented and every man and his dog could see we treated mendieta really poorly at the end of his contract. Viduka on the other hand only really turned up when he needed a new deal and went and signed for our rivals so I've not got an awful lot of sympathy for him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
