neophox Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 What happened to Lucas Neill ? At 35 you should still be very good as a defender. No he can't even get in a team in Japan A-League... Money talks probably.... He's downfall started 2009 when he left West Ham or even 2007 when he left Rovers. IF he had motivation and he does fight for a Place in World Cup he could been a gamble to our defence but not sure really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBRFC Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 To compare Lucas Neill to the likes of Best, Campbell & Dickson is just ridiculous. Ok, he left for all the wrong reasons but people seem to forget that before that he played his heart out for this club for 6 solid years. I'm in no way advocating a return for him, by the way.

The move was about nothing but money. Never forget a home match against Pompey. We were 3 up and the fans singing, are u watching Lucas Neill..

dingles staying down 4ever Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 To compare Lucas Neill to the likes of Best, Campbell & Dickson is just ridiculous. The day he left rovers for WHU instead of Liverpool to further his career means that the comparision is not ridiculous. All of them are mercenaries I'm afraid.

Agree with your remarks but Liverpool would not have paying poorly and were in with a chance of silverware. Rovers were offering very good terms. WHU were desperate, in real danger of relegation, were offering silly money. He choose money over teams who could provide chances of winning silverware and still earn mega bucks. His statements that he was going to further his career marked him as one mercenary that left a bitter aftertaste, like the 3 present Rovers players mentioned.

London is also quite a lure for foregin players, but that said I agree he went for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 We are all mercenaries. We nearly all make job choices with salary as the #1 priority. I'm not, the salary is a consideration sure but not the number 1 priority for me. My number 1 priority is staying clear of the private sector, but thats just me. Footballers are clearly motivated by money, loyalty hardly exists in todays game which is one of the biggest problems the game faces today.

But if you could double or triple your salary moving to the private sector, would your priorities remain the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they certainly would, but I guess I'm lucky in that respect that I don't have to move for money, then again neither do multi millionaire footballers, but more often than not they move for a few thousand here, a few thousand there, Ashley Cole for one, greedy bastartd.

I know Dann is on a fair whack - but £2.5m seems too low - especially considering we would need a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinStraight Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I think killgannon is more than an adequate replacement for Dann, butt we'd still need to get another centre back in as cover and/or maybe Songo'o or another one of our youngsters is ready to step up, personally I'd be glad to see the back of Dann(the worst cb we've had since Peacock and an embarrassment of a captain) my only worry is that it could disrupt the current harmony in the squad(though saying that, he doesn't seem the most popular player at the club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
