Thread: Danny Fox- sad to see him go?

Yes. Now I have to watch Lee fucking Naylor again. For 300k of profit we sold out best left-back and maybe best left-back in Scotland. I think this has been the worst move during Mowbray's tenure, apart from selling Robson.

Exactly Ryan. I even feel better about winning games with O'Dea at the back and that's saying something.

Bollocks. Who's better than him? Dixon? Wallace? Mulgrew? He's better than the rest, it doesn't make him some sort of world beater, but he's still best LB in SPL.

We sold him because he was terrible!?!?!? And leave us with twice the player Fox is - Naylor? How can you say we sold him because he was terrible when he was best LB in the club by the country mile and had mostly good displays in last 6 months?

Maybe it wasn't profit, maybe Mowbray and him had a row or something happened in the dressing room we don't know.

I'd have everyone of them mentioned plus Papic, Naylor, Caddis, Wilson and O'Dea in front of Fox. I don't rate Mulgrew one bit but has a better delivery than DF.

You'd have Naylor and Wilson who are shite full-backs and O'Dea who isn't good enough for central defence, nevermind LB? And Caddis who's natural RB, yet has to play as LB due to circumstances?

Papac OK, he's solid lad, but he's still not as good as Fox.

Being the best LB at this club in its current state is no achievement, he had to go. Most of his performances have been poor. I would not even say he was the best LB here either. Naylor is certainly a better defender than him but I don't want to see him in the team either, we need a new LB. Until we get a new LB then O'Dea and Caddis should be competing for the spot and I would like to see Paul play, he deserves a crack at it.

It was certainly not for profit, it was because Mogga obviously did not see him as part of his plans.

Good post mate.

Not all of them are better than Fox overall. Maybe in defence half of them are more competent, but overall aren't better.

Agreed, best LB in club hardly makes him great player. Naylor can maybe be slightly better in defence, but he can't cross his legs and isn't anywhere near as good as Fox in attack. O'Dea is a dud, don't want him near the team and certainly not as LB where his task is to go forward as much as possible. Caddis, on the other hand, is good full-back and can be in competition for the spot on left side. But he's right footed and that may present a problem for him.

If he was not in Mowbray's plans, why did he bring him in the first place? He wanted him when he was at West Brom, so he obviously seen some prospect in him.

Changing his mind on him in the space of 6 months makes me ponder Mowbrays ability to judge a player.

He has a magical left foot, a bit like Alan Thompson. Talking him up when he signed. etc etc.

Now he punts him to Burnley? Why weaken the squad unless we have a replacement lined up.

Naylor is not a player.

A tad better than Naylor from what i witnessed. I'd have given him more time to adapt, he was still young also, but if we can pick up Wallace for not much more then i think it a wise move, if we don't it may prove costly. Big Mogga seems like a bit of a gambler.

He may have realised he made a bad move and cashed in on him Ghod, should we not give him credit if this was the case. Every manager makes mistakes, only the poor ones make us suffer twice in continuing with a mistake. (i did read the article on cqn)

Its a strange one that no one was really expecting. If we sign a replacement left back before the end of the window and he doesn't make any more mistakes. Or sign any more duds, then yes i will give him credit for it... but there is absolutely no point in weakening the squad when we have 10 points to claw back. Fox is much better than Naylor...

I think it was insulting towards Alan Thompson to compare the two when he signed Fox and said so at the time. Now after punting him 6 months later it makes Mowbray look stupid imo. He is also on record saying Naylor and O'Dea are adequate cover at left back so it doesn't look like we will replace Fox.

This is not the only bad move or mistake he has made so far and the accumulation of all these may of cost us the league title.

Its a matter of opinion m8, i think fox was a shade better than naylor, you think much better, TM may think they are very similar all taken into account. He bought the guy and sold him at a profit, no biggi.

That is where we will disagree then.

I think Naylor is a shocking footballer.

Id actually play Caddis and O'Dea in there ahead of him.

Terrible footballer.

Maybe he deserved more than 6 months to prove himself? Naylor has had how many years?
