Full retained list announced

[life on mars]

Seems like some people are going to be 'clogging' Madine again and have written him off even though he only started six games last season. I prefer to give him a chance this year and would back NW to get him going. After all, he did outscore Zohore and Hoilett last season in the league and got the same number as Paterson and I dont see anyone calling for their heads.

Yes it's poor stuff , hardest gig in the world for a footballer is signing as a striker in a January window, I can think of a few superstars who have failed that gig .


Hey I get it the board have to hate someone , with Whiits now gone , so step up Gary Madine .

But here's a thought , yes we know he's not Premiership class, who is in out team anyway .

Let's imagine though we go down , Zohore as a result moves on , who better to turn too than Gary Madine ,who has scored at champoinship level , therefore we do need to support him , to get that potential result .

Give him a break,

Yes such a tough gig signing in January, look at that Mitrovic fella at Fulham.

This is a joke right? Hes had one decent half season in the Championship in his whole career. There are many better strikers with far better championship pedigree than Gary Madine who we can turn to should we go back down.

Give him a break,

In his career, he's played 138 Championship games and scored a mere 21 goals (half of which came last season with Bolton). Forgive us if he doesn't fill us with the utmost confidence in his ability. Added to which we paid a staggering £5m or so for his services.

I'd be amazed if he wasn't loaned out / sold during the course of this season. But, if he proves me wrong and has a blinding season, then you won't see me complaining.
