jambopilms Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 No chance he was any worse than the rest of the midfield this season. Probably been singled out by the ex rangers mafia in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Maroonblood Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 50 minutes ago, jambonian said: Levein was stupid enough to give him a 4 year contract! Neilson said he was back in training in October, here we are six months down the line and he's never even been on the bench (that i'm aware of). He'll be one of the best paid players at the club and should be playing, not scrounging a wage for nothing. Mind you....great work if you can get it! I'd love someone to ask Neilson what's the script with this chancer. It takes a chancer to know one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavydavy Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Newton51 said: I have seen this suggestion a few times and he's still here. Mind you he's not as big a wage thief as Pereira. The Mirror report that the shot-stopper is currently collecting £20,000 a week ahead of becoming a free agent at the end of the season. Huddersfield are paying a percentage of Pereira’s salary after signing the former Portugal Under-21 star on loan. He has made just two top-team appearances for United, and has turned out just once for Huddersfield this term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Warnock praised the guy and his talent - and he can’t be accused of having slouches/slackers in his team. He should stroll the Championship if given the chance - appreciate the fact that apparently he has had an injury... Agee too. Either we shell out a small fortune to end his contract or we find a way to get the best (which there must be) out of him. When fit and available surely we should be including him otherwise he will be totally shot of confidence when and if he's suddenly thrown in plus I simply can't believe some of the dross we've signed and played can be better. As usual the management team default to just do nothing. Finally fwiw while he's liked awful at times he's also looked pretty decent which at least more than some.

portobellojambo1 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I think I'd forgotten he was still here. The issues with him may stem way back to the day he signed for us, i.e. how did he end up on a 4 year deal when a number seemed to arrive on short term deals with the opportunity to then prove themselves. Did he reject a short term contract because he knew he would be looking for another club 12 months later, and were we then daft enough to offer him money for a period where he was happy to just sit out of the team and spend the time checking that his "money for nothing" was been paid into his bank account on time. I can only assume he is relatively happy with his present situation because as a football player if he genuinely wanted to be playing football every week the only thing I can think is that he would have given up his contract and moved on long before now. He has been another of those who simply didn't come up to the mark, and he is far from alone in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Sorry but Stendel already tried dropping Irving for Damour. It didn’t work, I would never advocate trying it again. And the thought of the 2 of them in the same team is even worse. Slow as 2 weeks in jail. It’s Halliday-Mceneff for the rest of the season for me. Haring off the bench. All that matters is that Damour leaves. We need to get him to leave the club and move on. However, he’s being paid a fortune for doing nothing so really it’s just another Malaury Martin situation for us. I’ll be amazed if he’s not here for another 2 years. As for folk blaming “the club” as though it was a collective decision, need to think back to when he was signed. There was 1 man in charge of everything at that time. He is responsible. I don’t think we should dish out any deal to a player that’s more than 2 years any more IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same tactic we used to get Mal Martin out of the door but that didn't work either. We signed him because of his supposed pedigree (that's why he got a four-year deal) and he quickly became a massive disappointment. But I agree with you the job of the manager/coaches is to get the best out of players not freeze them out. There has to be a decent player there if he is managed properly.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 He did have some pedigree though and was highly rated by Cardiff fans and Warnock. I guess it’s another player that has come up to Scotland expecting to piss it to find that although it’s not pretty you can’t just swan around being a midfield general without some effort.

Damour cost us nearly as many points as The Hologram during that relegation season, with his slack pathetic surrenders of possesion and half arsed jogs back, nearly every game. As for Martin you are the first person I have ever seen say “he wasn’t that bad” They are the 2 worst most costly disastrous wage thieves of the Levein-budge era.
