Warnock talks about NML transfer

Re: Warnock talks about NML transfer

The only thing we know is that the club had a chance to get rid of him at no cost and took it. He hasn't played a game of football or trained with fellow professionals for 6 months. My expectations are not high. We'll see. I never really really rated him anyway. He scored a nice goal against Villa though.

And at Brighton away in the Prem. But i agree with you, his overall form/input was not very good.

You have already passed judgement

I've made an informed decision based on my little faith in the people running our club.

I'll make a factually based judgment once everything comes out.

You have made an uninformed decision based on absolutely nothing. Also, he didn't ‘Waltz’ anywhere - he hasn't kicked a ball for six months.

Re: Warnock talks about NML transfer

I have no knowledge just a gut feeling as this is a strange one considering his talent within the Championship.

I wonder if this was a repeat or last chance misdemeanor.

End of contract near ,high wage Warner.

Unlikely to re - sign without a wage raise, therefore consided a big risk due to his known behaviours/ condition. .

Couldn't sell to anyone at the time because of his known issues.

No one showed an interest and stayed away for 6 months must have some relevance, considering his ability.

Where did he go , and what was the prolonged for?

Warnock loves the bad boy last chance saloon gamble on a player and has a deep knowledge of him .

Why didn't other clubs show some interest.

After Boro declared interest where were other clubs , surely his agent would be on the sell , the photos of him training were a staged ' I'm back ' sign me up message .

If he is only on a short term contract does this support a view he has previous on his misdemeanor , and likely to return to those behaviours.

Re: Warnock talks about NML transfer

NML is no great loss. He had great start with us , scoring 4 goals in 3 games and had a really good first season. In the PL he was out for half a season and only started 11 games, and missed a chunk of last season too. Overall he played 65+20 sub and scored 13 goals, so he averaged 21 starts and 7 sub each season and scored 4 goals per season. When he was on his game he was excellent but too often he wasn't. Consistency wasn't his strong point, coupled with his injury record.

Whatever he did, the club decided to get rid rather than pay him, probably knowing he was out for 6 months. And with a few months left on his contract when he returned, so they saved a whole season's wages which they could then use to get someone else in - like Wilson or Ojo.

I will always remember his great start to his career with us and his two goals at Man U though. I wish him well but City made the right decision.

Re: Warnock talks about NML transfer

Sounds like a ban for missing a drugs test to me. If so, then there would have been an earlier one at some point in his career - maybe for three months, which I believe is the 'first offence' ban. Six months is for a 'second offence'?
