Didn't get go back to Blackburn though and get promoted with them, but was sold soon after promotion.
They used to call him the Irish Messi at Notts County so the Wessi Hoolahan parallels have been long-drawn!
He was at Blackburn and was quality for Notts County in League One so Blackburn bought him again. I'm not sure what happened there but the move didn't work out and he got no gane-time so moved back to League One with Brentford, came up with them and is in his second proper season at Championship now really.
He'll be 27 in two weeks time so I think a January transfer might be good. Getting out of the Championship is a nightmare with the same team these days.
sorry to disappoint! ;)Quote:

On Judge, he really has physically developed over the last few years and I wonder if that has helped his overall performances in the rough and tumble of the Championship and for his guile and technique to now be supported with brawn and stamina.
Hes gone from looking like Richie Partridge to closer to the Andy Reid look.

This article throws Leicester into the mix, alongside Bournemouth and Swansea.
It seems to me that, in general, there are much more cases of players who have plied their trade lower down the leagues before coming back up to the PL. Hoolahan is an obvious instance from our own perspective but there have been many English cases i.e. Grant Holt, Rickie Lambert and Jamies Vardy.
i remember seeing him ages ago when he was a new prospect so to speak and all I remember is
him showing fantastic pace down the wing and then putting in one of the worst crosses I have ever seen,
so I got the impression he was a sprinter with no footballing ability, however that seems to be far from the case.
Anyhow if 5th place Leicester are showing and interest as well as Swansea and Bournemouth he can't be that bad.
Leicester have been linked with him in the last couple of windows, under Pearson, without anything happening, if they moved for him under Raneiri and now operating in the other half of the table then it would be a very pleasant surprise.Quote:

Woah...passive aggressive much? I've always been fond of you and your crusty ways Geysir. I didn't think I was alone in thinking that a couple of posters on here dragged the forum down for a while until their disappearance! That's all I meant! I took a break from the forum cos I was getting far too crusty and bothered by it all myself. So you're probably right!
There's been some developments on that case recently actually. It's all a bit mad.Quote:

The tone on the radio show was one of puzzlement. As I find a link to the breaking story, ill post here for you YOP.Quote:

Ingenious way of staying on topic.Quote:

Swansea or Bournemouth would be a safer move at this stage, probably the latter in terms of game-time but with a potential relegation on their hands.
Assist for Judge as Brentford take a 1-0 lead against QPR.
No, not passive aggressive, I was being sarcastic towards a general condescension expressed by yourself towards this board, that you return here to a low standard board only because some other discussion board was even worse.Quote:

As with the unnamed wánk*er/s who you may be referring to, I support the total boycott method and usually father time will win out.
alright lads, take it to the inbox if you want to continue this conversation
