Londoner Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Will we see him in a city shirt again? 3-4 months out....mid 30s. Enjoyed him play when he was fit....thought he brought an energy and composure to the side that went unnoticed. That could be that for Gon.

sglosbcfc Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 That will be a real shame if it is the case. His experience off the bench could be vital when we are looking to see matches out away from home later in the season as we go for promotion (please God).

Vincent Vega Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I have never really understood what all the fuss is about with him, whilst he's been here. Just seems to slow our game down tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt SL is going to sanction another pension fund, though I thought that before GON came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadful signing I for one reckon we wouldn't have picked up those points at the start of the season if it wasn't for his nouse and control in the middle of the pitch.

Martyn Woolford scored for us, good signing it did not make him. Lee Tomlin also won us points last year. He came in, big contract, started promisingly but burned out very quickly and didn't really contribute on or off the pitch thereafter. It is really a dreadful signing, gotta kiss some frogs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 It makes me wonder, he probably has a big impact on the dressing room, he seems like a good pro. I am not a big fan of his though, think he'll be off by the end of the season, or even get shipped off to League 1 in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems to slow our game down tbh. I don’t think he did slow the game down. I always saw him as receive, control, pass, move. Always gave angles, drove the team forward. Unfortunately, most of that came early in his time here. As someone who was blighted by injuries, and the niggles and persistent fluid on knees after games and training, I sympathise with him. No player sets out to not play (except Bogarde at Chelsea), and I imsgine he’s been very frustrated. I understand that for a large proportion of just season, he went and helped the Academy teams, so didn’t sit on his ar$e, "stealing a wage" as some would imagine. Don’t get me wrong, I expected more, but it looks like it just caught up with him. Shame. Would like to see him be an influence off the pitch.

They`re his boyhood club and I would think Neil Harris would value his help on and off the pitch. I`ve thought this ever since he was on Danny Baker a few weeks ago with some of the things he said.

Negan Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Terrible signing. Not because he’s been crap but because of his injuries. Didn’t exactly set the world alight when he played and he’s been sitting on the injury table for 2 years picking up a nice wage in the mean time...
