AshtonGreat Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Sounds like he has a trial at Hull City. Was it too early to let him go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 He isn't going to come here to sit on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Might say more about Hull's very quiet transfer window so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLR Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I imagine his wages would be astronomical for what would essentially be a bit-part player. Would have though LJ & Mark Ashton would have believed there was / is much better value out there. I know he spent a fair chunk of his time with us injured, however I got the impression he wasn't that highly regarded by Lee anyhow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think issues started well before those developments. Didn't know whether he would still be at the club in June with questions over the owner's future.

At his age, with his ability in decline, that doesn't necessarily mean "astronomical". Never understood on this forum why it is always assumed that a well-known name or former PL player would continue to be able to demand the salary they once did.

sephjnr Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 He's just signed for Rotherham until January. I would've done the same to cover Tam or Wilbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidNoble Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yeah strange one. I rated him a lot when he was here but never knew he was already in his 30s. Surely a deal til January would have been good for us as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Something clearly went on in his time down here, would have had more game time otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe considering he played consistently until our survival was confirmed. Personally I thought he was excellent for us. I think LJ thought the moment we survived there was no need to play him....as we needed to prepare the squad for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember him playing more than two full games ? And then only 2 or 3 very limited sub appearances. Dont think we were safe before he was surprisingly dropped from the squad and especially after impressing in his short time on the pitch as you say. I am convinced things turned sour off the pitch but we'll never know of course. water under bridge now though and all parties appear to have moved on so all good.

Davefevs Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Had a few niggly injuries - but another example, like GON, that a decent Prem quality player can look so at ease in the 100mph Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I remember reading on here someone saying that he wanted to stay in the north due to his child's schooling. That's the most logical explanation why Rotherham. Didn't Odemwingie say he'd happily play in league 1 if needed? Presumably at a northern club. Seems like he just wants to play for enjoyment now, doesn't need the money so much or upheaval to his children's lives that a move would create.
