Selling blunders

[Crossie]

Selling Paul Walsh for Gerry Creaney and a million was absolutely terrible business.

Walsh is a right cunt now but he was a great player in a team that wasn't far off being decent.

Agree, I know we can all say benefit of hindsight but he wasn't really given long to prove himself at city

He was fkn shit at city, the worse player to play more than 5 games of the last 15 years if you ask me. I reckon any defender would look half decent beside Godin in a team that is bulit so well and work so hard, im not saying he hasnt improved since he left but there was nothing to suggest he was even close enough to be good enough for us, he nearly single handedly cost us the title in 11/12. If you have any doubts just re watch the spurs at home game, you wont see a worse central defender performance from us in a long time.

I thought selling david whyte for rocastle was a mistake and still do.

I've told the story before but his heart was never at City. At that time I worked for a firm based in London who had a box at Palace. Cos no one wanted to see City I could get tickets when we played there so me and my then 9 year old lad went and afterwards you used to share the 'members bar' with the players.

Despite the usual defeat I resolved to get the autographs for the lad, as you did in those days. Walsh was first out the shower and into the bar. "Alright Alright hang on' he said before grumpily signing the programme. He then bought (?) a couple of bottles of beer and put them in his holdall before fucking off into London for a Saturday night out. Keith Curle and David Brightwell (I nearly took it all back!!) were politeness itself and took us round the whole team to meet and sign, despite their obvious disappointment.

A little later Walsh was on Soccer am, comparing Liverpool to Tottenham aftermatch stops - the Dippers was fish and chip[s whereas Spurs were a nice meal out. Russ Williams asked him about City - 'ho ho, lucky to get an apple and an orange' he said.

So yes it was shit business but he was always a cunt.

Walsh wasn't really that good either though. Ok player but that's it. It's the Gerry Creaney and the million part that has kept people saying over the years that getting rid of Paul Walsh was a mistake.
