Junior Hoilett Leaving

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

One of the few technically gifted players at the club. I think there's a little bit of stigma attached to 'free agents', so when it was announced we were going to sign him, I was a bit underwhelmed. However, in his time with us he's proved his worth. All the best Junior and thanks!

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

Thank you Junior for great service.
The goal against Wolves still gives me goosebumps.
Not happy with the way you was treated at the end.Picked for the bench but never getting on.Thought you deserved better than that.

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

Corrected for you. Acting as the purse string holder again. :hehe:

do you think I'm wrong? we have £35 million less coming in next season. if you dont think there's going to be a tightening of belts then you're living in a fantasy

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

Great signing for us, for a couple of seasons he was one of the first names on the team sheet. Some great goals.

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

I would have loved to see more of him this season, rarely gives the ball away ("never", as the song goes, was stretching it), but obviously MM has his own plan which obviously Junior is not part of.

He has left us with some great memories of his all too few years with us.

All the best Junior :thumbup:

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

People like me who are pretty critical of Neil Warnock now have to concede that he made some great free transfer signings and I'd say Junior Hoilett rivals Sol Bamba as the best of the lot - thanks for some great memories and best of luck with whatever you decide to do from now on,

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

A fantastic signing for us. I hope he signs for the Red Bulls. If he signs for someone else, I'll go and see him when he plays the Red Bulls.

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

That goal against Wolves was magic.
All the best Junior!!

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

One of the very few recently who could create a buzz around the ground when he got the ball, not afraid to have a pop at goal, loved the way he lazily picked the ball up in a central position against Leeds at home last season, ambled forward and nonchalantly picked his spot. Very good servant who contributed greatly to the highs we experienced in his time here. Thanks Dave:thumbup:

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

He has been a very, very good player for us over the last nearly 5 years. I will miss him. He hasn't had a look in under McCarthy, who has persisted with Murphy and Ojo on the left. He's probably on a decent wage , and now our of contract he has to be released. Still only 30 though. But I have enjoyed watching him , his skill and his wonder goals . Always a Bluebird.

Absolutely concur with that statement...how can MM prefer Murphy and Ojo week after week without giving Hoilett a lookin....yes he could be ineffective...but he could also light up a a game.

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

Excellent signing for us. A player with skill and a bit of magic. Some great goals, and a very likeable person.

All the best for the future, Junior. You will be remembered with affection. 'Once a Bluebird, always a Bluebird!' :ayatollah:

Re: Junior Hoilett Leaving

Just announced he is leaving the club after 5 seasons.
Has to be said he has been great free singing for us while Warnock was here.
Thanks for the memories Junior and all the best.

Sadly, it is time to go.
He has worked hard for us, had to play more defensively than he might have wished, scored some great goals and still retained the ability to do something unexpected, special. It just didn’t happen often enough or when needed most.
A good servant to City and deserving of the appreciation and accolades.
