    The Car Dale, before his injury, was very unlucky not to play at a higher level. A top player. We should start a thread on 'the best Gogs to play for us'. It could be particularly relevant with the Levitt rumours, although again I can see how it is practicable given he's under contract and a transfer fee would be due.

    Is Carl still working as an electrician? He was living in Bassaleg, wasn't he?

      I was fortunate enough to be asked to present the goal of the season award on behalf of the 27 club, for that goal by Mark Hudson. However, he wasn’t there as his wife was running the London marathon the next day. So, Boggy collected it on his behalf. That’s when I found out about his nickname.

        Some of the moronic twitter accounts celebrating him leaving makes you ashamed to be a Bluebird. There really are some very stupid, ignorant people who think they are 'a thing'.
        I can get a reason to keep him and not keep him. In a forward line that struggled last season he was still some way off it tho.

        I don’t get people why people would celebrate though. He worked hard, did his best. What else can we ask for from a youth product if they don’t have the talent.

          I agree with all of that. Although, I have some sympathy with all of our forward players as our midfield creativity was our greatest weakness

            It was a 52:48 call for me.

            I would have preferred Harris to stay. I understand the arguments about end product and creating squad spaces.

            But he worked hard, had some pace, occupied defenders, scored some good goals (not enough), was an Academy product (always due a bit more leeway) and was an OK option, especially off the bench. Not a great loss, but still would have liked him to stay and play at his best under Bulut.

            But, hey - I hope he has a decent career somewhere else (Derby, Blackburn.... maybe even Sheffield Wednesday given our recent history). And I hope we recruit better!

              Decent fella, fair play. Often reminded me of Phil Stant. Without the goals.

                What a bizarre comparison. The way Harris plays bears no resemblance whatsoever to the way Stant played. Not even remotely similar.

                  To be fair many posters have admitted that Harry Kane would struggle to score goals for us over the last 3 years or so. I hope Bulut can change our playing style to be more creative up front

                      And I wonder what the “Rhys Healey leaves” thread looked like.

                      Will be rooting for him to do well wherever he goes (just not against us).

                        He will find his level, which I think is in league two rather than league one.
                        He worked hard and gave 100% when he played, but isn’t that the minimum we should expect?

                        Good luck to the lad, but in reality he isn’t what we need right now if we’re going to get away from just hanging on in the Championship.

                        We need better players right throughout the squad

                          I don’t think anyone will disagree with you, let’s hope that we can employ those “better players”, we need some evidence and quickly.

                                Exactly, apart from the fact that he was never good enough for the level we're at now, he must be pushing 60.
