Yabba's Turd Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Out of all the prospects in his year coming through the youth system Luke was the one you had the feeling was most dedicated to the task of making it to the first team, not ability alone, his attitude was spot on.

sbcmfc Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Is he able to sign for a Scandinavian or Russian team? Just checked, appears he can go to Finland, Norway or Sweden. Hope he does well for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I mind him giving me the fear at Morecambe. Really lazy signing that has probably cost Motherwell a fair whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggles & Flippers Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Feel sorry for big Gunner, he wasn't given a fair crack with us!! He'll end up doing well elsewhere, good luck to him!! 23 starts, about 10 games unable for selection due to injury, 2 managers and a caretaker didn't think he had enough in his toolbox. Sorry don't agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Feel sorry for big Gunner, he wasn't given a fair crack with us!! He'll end up doing well elsewhere, good luck to him!! He could never produce his undoubted talent on matchday and thats why he wasn't our number one choice. Two managers came to the same conclusion. An extremely talented goalie by all accounts but he never lived up to the promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think if you are 6'6" you should be cherry picking any ball within 10 yards of the goal mouth, unfortunately this "talent" you talk of didn't extend to confidence, composure or decision making. His shot stopping at times was good but his physical attributes should have made him formidable, alas that wasn't the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I don't think he was brilliant by any means but was better than Hollis and was treated badly by McCall last season. I don't think he's any worse than Dan but will have been on a fair bit more cash so the right decision has been made in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Feel a bit sorry for the big man, he seemed to be regaining his confidence and was playing well then McCall bizarrely recalled Hollis for the last few games of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderwell Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Understand what was said re Hollis v Neilson but for me he was far too flappy, (remember the game v St Johnstone?). Even in his 'good' games on Youtube for the Faroe Islands he gets away with absolute murder! Glad he's gone but wish him nothing but the best. It won't come back to haunt us this time.

Now kindly go back to your Football Manager game on the Xbox You're totally welcome. He's a guy who at 28 has made less senior appearances that Bob McHugh. I presume his agent is refreshing that video of him against Germany to show clubs, rather than the ones of him flapping at crosses and putting Stevie May free kicks back into the six yard box. If he can find a league where they don't shoot the ball hard at him, he might be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Feel sorry for big Gunner, he wasn't given a fair crack with us!! He'll end up doing well elsewhere, good luck to him!! Sorry for him ....Naw , allegedly had potential when we signed him but never showed any of it, and turned out to be a feckin bomb scare anytime he was played. He has been a wage thief for over 2 years now, Hollis was keeping him out of the team FFS, so a good move to punt him, albeit a year too late.

Spiderpig Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 £1.5k pw off the wage bill if in the unlikely event Gunnar willing to walk without settlement for his contract Left by mutual consent according to the official site, so maybe an agreement re money due was agreed, but i would be surprised if it was for the full outstanding term of his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Sorry for him ....Naw , allegedly had potential when we signed him but never showed any of it, and turned out to be a feckin bomb scare anytime he was played. I'll not argue he deserved anything, but he certainly had good games, if anything it was attitude that held him back he never really recovered from MCall shafting him on return for Russia, no one who witnessed it could believe he re-instated Hollis, reckon that broke Nielsens desire, and McCall and Black were never going to use him as #1 after that.

Kmcalpin Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 The club will not have paid Gunnar off in full - that would simply cost it more money and be of no benefit. Some compromise will have been reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Won't the compromise be that we'll have offered him a payoff to go now and he'll have taken it, most likely with a new club lined up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
