Robbie Brady

[TheClaret]

I guess he means future transfer fees, not realising he goes on a free in the summer

Ah I didn’t realise he leaves on a free. The 1882 guy I’ve got blocked so didn’t see his message until you quoted him

[joey13]

So you always perform better in your daily life, when people are slagging you off, and criticising you at work.
Yeh, right.

It’s a football messageboard

Yeh, right.

Also I’ve got my own business, people comment on social media about it/me , I always get good reviews, because I do a good job , maybe Brady should take note then he wouldn’t get criticism, not sure how anyone can defend last night’s performance, difference between him and me he picks up his wages regardless, I have to work hard for mine.

[Dark Cloud]

I used to think Brady was very vocal and spent a lot of time talking and organising out on the field because whenever the camera is on him he always seems to be saying something. I now think he's actually talking to himself and was even doing it in the seats last night after he came off.

[vinrogue]

I have been willing Robbie to regain the form he had pre injury. He was on fire and I believe had the most assists before being long term injured. He just hasn't regained that level and in this League it is so hard as it is so unforgiving. I hope he gets his dream move and final big signing on fee at Celtic, I just wish he had been able to repay us a little more. SD was right to sub him, insert your own reason for it happening and it still remains a good decision.

[Steve1956]

Unfortunately hes just making up the numbers now,there is a player in there but we have only seen it briefly....Good Luck at Celtic Robbie....it wont get any easier in that league though with the likes of Scott Brown around ...

[warksclaret]

I dont think playing him on the right suits him-I think every thing he does is now laboured through a lack of confidence.Be interesting to see if he starts Saturday or we go with Brownhill

[nyclaret]

The 10m we spent was to secure a players service for the length of contract agreed at the start. People need to realise just because you pay a fee for someone you don't automatically get a fee in return.

That maybe so, but a club like ours can’t really afford that approach.

[boatshed bill]

That maybe so, but a club like ours can’t really afford that approach.

Unfortunately we have to accept it if we want decent players.
Perhaps if we could identify players who will have increasing value and sell on?

[claretonthecoast1882]

That maybe so, but a club like ours can’t really afford that approach.

But you can if you have others in the same squad you make a profit on. Would you sell Tarks for 8m in the summer or keep him and let him go on a free 12 months later ?

[bfcjg]

Never the same since the horrendous injury. Good luck to him wherever he goes.

[nyclaret]

He’s not going to be sold for 8m.

[daveisaclaret]

Interesting that after a year of thinking Jeff Hendrick was going to Celtic cos he's Irish people are now thinking Robbie Brady is going to Celtic cos he's Irish.

[Steve1956]

To be fair its about his level....

[claretonthecoast1882]

As well as ignoring they were both able to sign a pre contract with them in January

I'm not in any way defending last nights performance, just defending one of our players who is probably feeling worse about it, than you are.
Constant criticism doesn't help anyone, in fact it's more likely to create more poor performances.
I'm presuming you, and the rest of the experts on here, want him to improve. Well you're not helping.
No amount of mud slinging is going to alter last nights performance or result, so the only thing that matters is West Brom. If JBG is out, which looks likely, we are going to need Brady to perform, hopefully a lot better than last night. Showering him with abuse isn't going to help that.

[Jakubclaret]

Yeh, right.

This forum isn’t representative of 1 fixed opinion it’s an assortment of varied opinions & if he’s that sensitive to criticism he shouldn’t be playing football or working or doing anything to be perfectly frank, the amount of people with roughly the same opinion indicates that the criticism could be justified, doesn’t necessarily mean the opinions are right or wrong though.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Cut the guy some slack.

This pandemic has messed with all of our heads. Robbie is coming back from injury and trying (too hard at times) to rediscover his form. Can anyone actually try too hard? Yes! And it doesn't work.

Glad that SD did him a huge favour last night by taking him away from Jon Moss. He would have sent him off for any more fouls.

True, 99% of the working population as a rough calculation need to do something otherwise you would get fired or if self employed you wouldn’t have any customers. For some strange warped reason football must be 1 of the few industries where you can literally do sod all & be handsomely rewarded for it.

[warksclaret]

I realised yesterday that Tarks & Mee play against some monsters in the PL every game. You can run a steam roller over both these guys and they get up and get on with it. Then you have a few of the team who seem to be out for weeks with inoccuous challenges

This has nothing to do with opinions of last nights performance, that's pretty unanimous, it's about the reaction to the performance. So he's a paid footballer, on lots of money. Do you really think that gives others the right to abuse him, and I am on about abuse, no one would be bothered about criticism. Criticism can be constructive, abuse doesn't help sod all.

I think abuse is a strong word, you want to take a look at all the homeless shelters & domestic violence units & then you will see some real abuse first hand, a handful of posters have justly doled out some criticism based on his performances whilst at the club & have every right to do so. He’s either injured all the time or playing poorly & he does churn out the odd good performances rarely.

I did find it funny when Lookman flattened Tarkowski at one point last night.!

[Gordaleman]

Both of them have been the definition of average. 10+ million spent on them both, with both walking out on free transfers. Newcastle fans would pay us to take Hendrick back.

Hendrick, like Brady is now past his best, but while he was here, he was far more useful to the club than Brady ever was. Brady came with a huge reputation and all we've ever seen of his 'Talent' is the odd cameo, when he was up against a weak defender. He's a wage we don't need and he should have gone a year ago.

Brady came with a huge reputation and all we've ever seen of his 'Talent' is the odd cameo, when he was up against a weak defender. He's a wage we don't need and he should have gone two years ago.

You will miss when he has gone though, or do you have a new target in mind to take his place ?

[Gordaleman]

No, I won't miss him at all. Madge would do a better job. Last night, Sean took him off before he got sent off. How would going down to ten men help us?

[Dark Cloud]

With hindsight, we'd have been far better off letting Brady go last summer and keeping Lennon as despite me not really rating him in his time with us, he definitely offered far more.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Can’t be arsed reading 3 pages but has anybody pointed out that he had 3 players between him and the chest deflected goal. He must have seen it very late.
Still haters love to hate.

[Stacks]

Surely we can extend then sell him to somebody for a fee (championship or Celtic)
5 million ?

[Leisure]

Did he! Like what?

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Far more running with little end product?

[Devils_Advocate]

Why would Brady sign an extension unless its for more money than he can get in wages and signing on fee as a free agent elsewhere?

If we offer Brady a good enough deal for him to sign an extension then why would he go to another club for less money?

[3putt]

He was garbage. Let one in, could have been sent off and missed a sitter in his 15 mins.

Very poor again tonight,far too slow to be a winger. the defensive side of his games secent,can tackle and wins the ball back when out of possession quite often, Think he would make a decent skilful midielder.

[Woodleyclaret]

Sorry but it's time to let him go
If he really wants to step down to the Scottish kickers league for the signing on fee and a long contract good luck to him
If he runs true to form he will spend a lot of time out injured

[jojomk1]

Don't let the League Managers Association hear you say that !

[jojomk1]

I think that was the idea of the club exercising the option last summer

Unfortunately plans went awry when MG pulled the plug on new incomings and, maybe, nobody was interested in taking him

I very much doubt he will want to sign a new contract now

And not sure many on here would want him to either

[Dark Cloud]

Did he! Like what?

I did say "whilst not really rating him" (Lennon) because I agree with you and couldn't understand Dyche making all the fuss and falling out with Garlick (apparently) about having to let him go as he wasn't really up to much, I agree.

[pushpinpussy]

And the scapegoat this week by the muppets on this board is Brady. Honestly, you guys are an embarrassment.

[Jakubclaret]

Week? By & large it’s been a complete clusterf**k from day 1, the physios won’t agree it’s give them a job they’ve certainly earnt there corn there.

[onewillieirvine]

I know he's had a really bad injury but the lad has only started 45 games for us!

[fatboy47]

And the scapegoat this week by the muppets on this board is Brady. Honestly, you guys are an embarrassment.

Hmmmmm... Sorry ppp, but for a bloke already on a yellow to practically beg for a second one with a pointless pull-back..under the ref and lino's nose...halfway through a vital 6 pointer..thats beyond stupid for me, and I've no doubt in my mind that he was hooked to avoid us playing with 10 men...

I suspect also that he's just played his last game for us.

[Tribesmen]

Last week it was Kevin Long after we won 3-0 at Palace and yep he didnt even play .

He is a Burnley player. We should support him through thick and thin. it appears he was playing with an injury trying his hardest for the cause. he had a poor game nobody can argue with that. It happens. but some comments aimed at him on here are disgusting. I hope to god he doesn't read this forum but if he does. From a proper Burnley fan and the majority id say " head up Robbie it happens to everyone but keep going and don't let that game ruin your confidence as you were getting back to fitness and showing signs of the player we know you can be. "

[Jakubclaret]

Just loving the notion that the fans are the problem at being disgruntled about somebody leeching out of the club & providing very little in return.

[ksrclaret]

I love it when pushpin attempts to take the moral high ground on certain issues. He frequently does it from Marbella, a city that have very kindly allowed him to retain his Burnley IP address. They’re good like that.

[jojomk1]

it appears he was playing with an injury trying his hardest for the cause.

In which case wtf was Dyche doing sending him on in the first place when Brownhill was also on the bench

He was pulled off because he was having a mare (something we see a lot from him nowadays)

And I applaud Dyche for making that decision

"Injuries" cover a multitude of sins

[Guller Bull]

I think the thing is on a football message board you should be allowed to say your opinion on a player so long as it's relevant and not a character sleight.

For me we need better quality and more consistency than what Robbie Brady is offering at the moment. Was a good player when he was at his best but his levels of consistency for whatever reasons are not what we need.

[warksclaret]

Forget the bitching about players,this board should not be used to slate players-thats the managers job to develop and guide players. However when you squad is small, when your budget on new recruitment is non existent , then you need people who can give you a "full shift". WE just cannot afford to carry wages for people who are on the treatment table for long periods, on a regular basis. No different to companies-if you have someone who constantly rings in sick, or does not show, then with the best will in the world you will try to lose this employee. By comparison you have players like Mee, Tarks, and several others, that if a bus ran over them they would be available next game

Have you ever visited a football supporters forum before? The primary function is too have a moan be it injuries, form, tactics, whatever.

Sometimes it's just people getting off their chest after a bad result. Heightened of course with the frustration of a lockdown. I wouldn't read in to it so much. Even if Brady reads here he is mature enough and has plenty of experience to be motivated from it.
