Does anyone else regret letting Pandiani go in January??

He was certainly not the long term answer to our problems, he was slow and had a poor first touch but despite his faults the guy was a goalscorer.

After the huge hall of 1 goal between them that Heskey & DJ Cambell have scored in the 3 months since Pandiani left i feel absolutely 100% certain that Walter would have contributed at least 3 or 4 goals during the same period had he been here and in the 1st team, and that might very well have kept us up.

When you look at some of the countless horrific chances Heskey has missed during his awsome goalstreak of 1 in his last 24 games you can guarantee Pandiani would have put a fair few away had they fallen to him instead.

I hope you have safety gloves and a mask on Barrell scraping can be a dangerous without proper safety equipment. :D

Another mistake by Bruce more like.

What i couldnt understand in January was that we got rid of Pandiani despite that fact his goals scored to minutes player ratio was more then double Heskeys.

Thats not just bad management thats pure stupidity.

No! The one thing I do regret about Pandiani was having to spend the better part of the summer in the saga that was signing him. When we should have just moved on and signed someone like Darren Bent or Henri Camara.

Regret letting Pandiani go? No way.

He never once looked like linking up with anyone, all his goals were solo efforts very few and far between.

I would much rather have kept Morrison in all honesty.

The ONLY sustained period he ever had in our squad with Heskey was over Christmas 04 when we played 4, won 4 and scored 11 goals.

As soon as Pandiani arived with his reputation Morrison didn't get a look in. Even though Heskey looked a lot happier when Mozza came on and we looked 100% more likely to score.

Totally agree about Morrison!! Wish we had never of let him go :( Him and Forssell linked up well together and him and Heskey to imo!!

Part of me regrets letting Pandiani go as I think he would have done a better job than the current strikers are doing! But i just dont understand why Brucie got rid of Walter and basically replaced him with a League Two/One (i dont know) nobody in the shape of DJ Campbell :huh:

Money had a lot to do with it.

IMO he didn't play very much so he never reached the required amount of appearances for us to make installment payments on him.

When we sold him we probably recouped the amount we had already paid out so good business.

In all honesty Pandiani had enough chances. a lot of us could see he was never going to cut it in English football. For someone with his reputation and record he had more than enough time to settle in.

Glad he's doing well now he's back in Spain. **thumbup

Morrison was !"£$ , end of, not fit to lace Pandiani's boots, Pandiani has the ability to score against some of the top defences in England, he also has the ability to score in the champions league, stop all this drivel about Morrison , the bloke was absolutely awful, moaning and groaning at every offside decision (and there were many) that went against him, As for K-bek harping on about solo efforts, christ at the moment i would take a few of those, you talk some cack woman :rolleyes:

it's all hindsite realy we all know now that we should'nt have got rid of mozza but at the time not many of us said it would be a bad move.

but in all honesty mozza himsaelf wanted out and was willing to drop a division to to it so i think it was a case of i dont want to play fro you anymore.

but pandiani was a big mistake letting him go .

he never even ot a chance to prove himself but he's doing very well at zarragotha.

but then the spanish do tend to play football. ;)

Morrison didn't want out. He knew he'd have to leave to get regular 1st team footall which is different.

We'd all take a goal or 6 from anywhere at the moment regardles who scored them. A player who doesn't link well with anyone is a liability.

Morrison's contribution to Forsell's 19 Prem goals is well doumnted. Heskey also praised Morrison's efforts. Never heard anyone saying Pandiani was good to play with.

Solo efforts are great, Jarosik shows that. But if chances go begging as a rest of somone not linking well or anticipating their partner then its pointless really. Far more of Heskey's flick ons were wasted with Pandiani not anticipating them.

no it's not it's i want first team footrball or i'm off, that meens hr wanted out. he was even pripared to go to drop a league to do so, that to me says he could'nt get away fast enough.

i bet he's regretting it now actually because he would of played most of the games.

I agree about Pandiani's ability to score against the top defences. Arsenal, Chelsea,Man U - other than Graingers curler against Man U we had never really breached the top defences till he came along.

Wouldn't say the Morrison was completely awful though;he was certainly not the prolific goalscorer he was in the championship but nevertheless he did run the channels and set up Forssell and Heskey on many occasions.

you could'nt fault him for his workrate, but he did think he was better than he realy was.

Pandiani had ability and class, he was just not up to the speed of the prem, but he was an experienced player and that would have come with time. We should have kept him for the rest of the season then made true judgement instead of the silly rash decision to ditch him in January.

i dont think he was that far away realy.

i just feel that if he was used properly we would of seen much much more.

i think it's a case of our style of football was no good to him and lets face it it is'nt for the rest of the team either.
