Sort of agree with
1882
, lots of negative threads at the moment, but I love a good moan too, so I have a huge list of players who have gone down in my estimation. It doesn't take much for that happen, usually when they bugger off to another club.
Berbatov, Klinsmann, Carr, Keane, Sheringham, Barmby, Modric, Bale, Carrick all spring to mind, and a special mention for our current want-aways - Rose, Eriksen & TA.

Barmby - yeah that one was a downer too at the time. Especially as he chose to go to Boro.Sort of agree with

Deal was agreed prior to the World Cup. Just ENIC spin that kept the announcement back.
‘Modric put a lot more into his final season than Eriksen is doing. And he regularly congratulates us on important wins. Unlike Bale. Bale though also put in the performances in his final year.
Kyle Walker. Left us completely in the lurch at Halloween.
Blame Burkinshaw for releasing him because he thought Barry Daines was a better goalkeeper. Not Keith’s smartest decision ...
That doesn't work for a number of reasons
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Sheringham didn't deserve the stick he got from us when he left for Man United. He had given us five years' fantastic service and it was increasingly clear that Lord Sugar had no ambition for the club and if things had stayed the same after 96/97 we would have just dragged him down with us. It had got to the point where there was nothing more he could do for us.
If anything, his departure did us good because it forced Sugar to get his wallet out and sign Ginola and Ferdinand. The funny thing is that Sheringham would have been willing to stay if Sugar signed Paul Ince but, at the time, Sugar wasn't prepared to pay £4m for a 30 year old (we had to wait until Newcastle had him over a barrel for that).
If you want someone to blame for Sheringham's departure, our short-sighted and pig-headed former chairman is a good place to start.

Sorry,fat fingers!! Richard Gough leaving after one season ,86/87,really disappointed me.To this day he remains the finest centre half I have ever seen play for the club (sorry Ledley).That he chose to return north of the border to Rangers shows what a different era that was.
Ledley King
Really?
Not much you can do if you have a chronic injury. He did play the back end of his career on one knee, risking his future health.
Berbatov, Sheringham and Carr.
Carr left us for Newcastle?! The mind boggles.

Never ever understood the anger at Kanoute for playing in the '04 AFCON. FIFA had only changed the rule that year which made him eligible, it's not like he had been turning down Mali callups.
And it was a major international tournament, which he had never had the chance to play in one of, and they very nearly won the whole damn thing.

I think.....well at least i hope....he was joking. Hard to tell with Vince.
