mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 If you look back the issue now feels the clubs inability in how to deal and get the best out of big name players acquired. Concur that the players got all Billy big bollocks as well - but the game was transitioning that way - but the back office at S6 was lagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wonder if we'll ever get the apology of calling us a small team and begging to score a hat-trick against us like he did before the Villa game when they beat us 2-1. I'll never forget that report how desperate he was to score against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He was treated like shite by the club. Best player we had and the dwarfy fountain falling crawling prick calls him out. Wilson was out of his depth and that twat Atherton who was lucky to be in that dressing room hangs a bib in his locker 🤬. Plummeted like a stone once Beni left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember heplayed his best football after di canio left after big Ron getting the push so the little dwarf could extract some petty revenge, the club not backing di canio then failing to offer beni a contract, I lost a lot of interest and barely went again until sturrock came along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It’s a tough call. I thought both were very good players, and actually quite different in terms of playing style. Di Canio was probably the better player, but more for what he achieved after us. I think Carbone had a better career with us. What I would say is, Di Canio is primarily remembered shoving over Alcock and then not playing again for us. Carbone doesn’t carry that.

DiCanio was a fucking lunatic. Anyone who calls him a "great player" wants their head looking at. Look past the skill and see the whole package.

HoylandOwl Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Tempestuous, temperamental, but Di Canio was an absolute genius footballer at times. It’s a shame we didn’t get his best on a more consistent level, but we didn’t have him long enough and DR made sure of that all while feathering his own nest. But I loved seeing him in our shirt. I remember the buzz around us signing him, the amount of kids that had his name on their shirts. We don’t have that anymore and haven’t had since.

KrolMong Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 There’s no issues with having a lunatic or two. A fair few of the GOATs are mavericks and in the case of a couple of them, they make Di Canio look like Peter Atherton. But you have to have players in the squad who can manage them on the pitch, and coaches who can manage them off it. Di Canio had neither at Wednesday.

Ozzie Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Dunno why there's a debate over Di Canio or Carbone, We had both!
