stevie carr's career slide

[Dougal]

I thought it was about £2-2.5m? :shrug:

 

[laneoflegends]

I stand corrected. Bobby Robson signed him for 2m (just checked out his website) after stating he wanted to leave and play champions league football! :rofl:

 

[trevo]

It's what happens when you go to such a BIG club as the bar codes with the best most loyal supporters in the whoole foooooking whirld man aye.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[jimmy_the_yid]

I used to idolise him, then he was a dick, i think he went downhill once he got his haircut, never the same after that.

 

[hodspurs]

he was a great player before his injurys.but it was funny he left for champs footy...

As a well-educated, degree holding future lawyer from a good upbringing amongst well spoken members of English society, I'm sure that I should be able to come up with an eloquent, intelligent and witty dressing down of Steven Carr and his career choices.

Instead however I've decided to say this...





F**k him....with bells on.

 

[Kendall]

We would've ended up getting rid of him anyway, he was in no way a player good enough to move forward with us

You mean Brummies? :lol:

[Adam456]

I've no sympathy. I'd have accepted him leaving but the parting comments were a little acidic.

On another note....people go on about Chelsea ruining talented payers (which they do) but Newcastle must be top of the table in that league.

Duff, Dyer, Bowyer, Solano, Parker, Viduka, Smith, Butt in the last couple of years alone. Most suffered a slump in form within a year or two and half of them left

 

[Mornstar]

the difference is that the players at newcastle aren't really quality

duff = only rated by our irish contingent, had a handful of decent games at blackburn and did well in the 2002 world cup. was a flop at chelski and has shown his true colours at newcastle

dyer = boozer

solano = very good player and was an integral part of the team that finished 3rd under bobby robson

parker = same as duff. had a handful of decent games for charlton and appeared in the mcdonalds ad which seemed to make him a world beater in some ppl's books. couldn't handle the hype surrounding him at chelski and once again showed his true colours at newcastle and wet spam.

Viduka = harsh to judge him on his performances for newcastle when he's coming to the end of his career

smith = same as duff and parker. i've no idea what ppl see in him. apart from his thuggish (tigerish as some ppl would make you believe) behaviour and poorly timed tackles, he really doesn't offer much.

I remember when he came back from his long term injury and had a pretty poor season and was still voted into the PFA Team of the Year. The standard of Prem RB's must have been seriously shit that year.

 

[camaj]

Now Steve Carr has been released by the Barcodes he will no doubt look back on his decision to leave us for " a bigger club " as a bit of a disastrous decision

I was under the impression we were selling him because we thought he was no longer worth a place and his comments were a bit of sour grapes.

 

[Shanks]

Possibly sour grapes, but the reality of it is that we sold him and at the time Newcastle looked more likely to win something that we did.

Lets be honest here, the only thing we have won in the last ten years is the Carling Cup, hardly the top of things great.

We have never been in the Champions League, were Newcastle have.

Modern day 'big clubness' Newcastle are just below the top four (didn't the stats prove that too?

 

[gibbs131]

He was crap for us anyway. It was a dark dark time for wingbacks in those days.

I got a LOT of stick for not rating him on other message boards.

He could not head the ball, positioning was bad and he was weak in the tackle.

He just looked okay going forward.

 

[MendD3]

Duff was fooking awesome for Chelsea when Mourinho played the winger system with Robben. With them two, Drogba and Lampard Chelsea were pretty much undefendable, I actually think Mourinho was an absolute nuts changing that system.

 

[Bonjour]

I seem to remember he had an injury that lasted pretty much a whole season. He was never really the same after.

 

[idlepete]

We never got to use him and Ziege at the same time... we so should have kept Luke Young.

 

[Da_One]

was a good player in his prime - even united was after him for awhile if I remember correctly.

i'm pretty sure we wanted him to stay but he wanted out..
