I always thought he flattered to deceive, but that was at Premiership/International level. At "League One" level, he could be very good indeed.

 

[exactonian]

He's got a box at Hull, so if he wanted League One level I don't suppose he'd play for anyone else.

the lad "nick burberry "is a good player

but brentford have got









"burtons!!!!"

 

[South Acton Bee]

that was bad !

 

[chippendale]

Wondering what his wage is. Sky News reported he got a massive payout from Leeds. So perhaps his weekly isn't that much?

 

[Phoenixkeeper]

He is the sort of player who could stand head and shoulders above in this division.

 

[Mulitinovic]

He looked sensational when he broke through at 18 but has somehow managed to look less of a player with every passing season. Fair play to him for opting to go to his hometown club though, as I'm sure he could have got another season or two at the 'top' with West Brom or someone.

 

[Phoenixkeeper]

Perhaps he couldn't get another season or tow at the top though. He had be loaned out from Leeds to Nottingham Forest, and surely anyone in the top flight wanting to pick him up could have done. Think he will do a good job for Hull though, and could push them towards one of the promotion places.

Re: Nick Barmby

an early intro in to coaching perhaps for Barmby ?

Working with Peter Taylor (who is to become part-time England u/21 coach) is one helluva opportunity to learn - and learn very well imho

 

[Phoenixkeeper]

Especially with Peter Taylor having previously said this would be his last season with Hull. Player/manager next season?

Hull get 20,000 crowds and don't have a huge debt burden. They are the moneybags club at our level and must be favourites for promotion.

Barmby has always struck me as a level headed guy.

He is joining his local club, has probably got enough money that a wage of £2,000 a week would be enough for him !!

Good signing, will be very good at this level

Really? He's always struck me as a bit of a chancer whose been a bit lucky to several big moves to big clubs with (presumably) big signing on fees.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

He could be a very good player at this level, possibly the very best ion the Division.

I guess it depends on how well he fits into the team and club and how much he is willing to fight for the right to play.

When he got back into the england squad versus germany (5.1 ) and played left he looked really good and we all wondered why he had been in the wilderness (reserves) at liverpool and everton for so long.

He really has let his career slip by hasn't he, spurs, middlesborough, liv, everton and leeds without really doing anything of note since spurs.. shame. I would agree he would be very good at this level.

I doubt that he actually gives a sh1t though financially !

He was never going to be a world beater imho so he's got to be chuffed at achieving Premiership footballer status for the time that he did, I know I would be :yes:

From the Hull City researcher on Champ Manager.

Given that his salary is supposed to fit within our wage structure I'd guess he's on around £4000 a week with a big promotion bonus. His loyalty and ambition will need to be adjusted as he wants to play for us til he retires now.
