Re: Nugent
Donkeykong, Nugent is a terrific player in the making. You go on about him not scoring enough and i agree he will need to score more. But at that age Andy Johnson had scored 5 in 55 appearances in the Championship, when i worked it out Nuge had something like 21 in 49 games. He is still very young and has years to improve his goals ratio. Whenever i watch him im amazed at some of the things he does and im sure a lot of your fans think the same, which is why he wont get as much stick. He can do anything at any point, he has a huge future whereas players like Dichio and Agyemang dont. Even when Rooney had bad spells for us we still loved him, sang his name and slagged most of the others off. He scored 1 goal in about the first 15 games in 2003/4 but because we knew what he was capable of and because he was young, we still stuck with him while not with others such as Radzinski. At some point he will be in the top flight (whether its with you or someone else) and i reckon he will score a decent amount, but just as importantly he will do a hell of a lot of good work for the team.
Young players like him can be judged on what they can do, not what they cant as he will improve on what he cant. And coming from a fan of another club Nugent can do a lot more than almost every player in that league (and ive been to a few games at that level to watch neutral games), and a lot of players in the Premiership.
