samo Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nice to get a fee (however small) for a player we got on a Bosman with only 6 months on his deal left. Good luck and thanks for the goals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eamer Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Would've liked to see him given his chance like GJ promised every player would. Oh well, good luck at Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy Parrot Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 In many ways this is a shame- I don't feel we ever saw the best of Jevo but feel he is capable of much. Pre-season I predicted he would be our top scorer this season!But clearly club and player have decided this is the best thing so I'm sure we'll all wish him well- top scorer in our promotion season. Thanks Jevo and all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I would have liked to have seen him have a run as well.His career record is 92 goals in 210 games. Not many can boast that percentage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 jevo already has a good goals tally for udders and I think this is a good move for all concerned; they will continue to improve in league 1 with him in the front line. I wish him well and he should always receive a good reception when/if he ever comes back to play against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 As I posted on Zider site This has me puzzled Johnson had him as a player at Yeovil so he must have known what he was getting when he signed for us done not to bad last season lost his way a bit in the end.Then he sold him without a chance to see what he could do, it is not that we have a string of goal scoring players at the momenton the books.The question is why did he sell him did they have a fall out or what as I said he knew what he was like. Surly he can't buy players with one season in mind he must think that they will fit in for the long term but there again Betsy was not given a chance but its all a little worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I echo what has already been said, he's on the back of my last season's shirt and i wouldn't be ashamed to continue wearing that shirt down the ground (apart from the fact i have this season's with Trunds).Good luck Jevvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Betsy I don't think he has been with us for a year yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't exactly spoiled for choice in league one in January.Neither player has cost us much in wages or fees and we're actually making money on Jevons. You're moaning over nothing. Again.

Again.The signings of Betsy and Wilson last season were strange- neither player is widely considered to have been a "great" player in our promotion push and Wilson has had limited chances this term (while Betsy has not played).BUT their contribution in the latter half of the promotion campaign was still key- they added depth at a crucial time and to an injury-hit squad. Both players have talent and even on their contribution to last season alone I think won us promotion. Basso, Carey, McCombe etc. won the plaudits but to use a cliche it's a squad game- and without those additions I don't think we'd have gone up. They tipped the balance.

Shame he didn't get a run (however short), saw him at Brentford at the beginning of the season and I thought he linked well with Trunds for the short time they played together that very wet night. Smashed home (one of two) a cracker as well.Good luck Jevo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tipped the balance.I agree with you on Wilson.He's a quality player at League 1 who was a versatile player who could play pretty much all over the pitch on either wing and right back.However I disagree on Betsy. I don't think he's added anything and I thought at times he was out of his depth in League 1 and wouldn't last 2 seconds in our current league.Wilson was good League 1, McIndoe is Championship - I tell you what in the games recently it's bloody shown too.Would we have gone up without Wilson? Maybe not.Would we have gone up without Betsy? Yes I reckon so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It is puzzling why he was never given a chance this season when our forwards were struggling for goals, I'm sure there is more to this than meets the eye, but then again I'm a conspiracy theorist.All the best Jevo.

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I thought Jevo might well thrive at this level and had him down to be City's top scorer this season. Thought also him and Trundle looked worth persevering with as a partnership after a promising start. Now i reckon our top scorer may be someone we've yet to sign. GJ leaves me stumped sometimes, but he will have his reasons and I'm confident that Jevo's departure is making room for a superior player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I gotta say I saw nothing in jevons which suggest he would top scorer, and although Gary Johnson once rated him, I think he came to the same conclusion as myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Jevons biggest problem was at training. All our strikers have a tough job impressing GJ in that regard. Playing against Carey, Fontaine, Vasko, McCombe Skuse, Ribiero and even James Wilson. I cant see Jevons making much impression against that lot, especially the first 4. I wish him well, he seemed like a good pro. However a bridge too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
