Quote: FC DAZE "Anyone with a SHORT memory would have difficulty recalling Horney playing at all.I have seen Horney right from the day he made his debut at Leeds as a 16 year old and folding a rampaging Darrel Fleary with a textbook tackle as a 16 year old.Also seen him play some fantastic games for us when his partnership with Judas was at it's prime.
The argument for me is his recent unfortunate history with injuries and illness ,where does sentiment stop and reality kick in.He will be on a VERY VERY good salary at Hull and to be honest if it was anyone else other than OUR Horney,would people still be saying give him a chance.A lot of people complained about Berro not being worth the money while he was here.Ask yourselves this,has Horney been good Value for his last contract ? The answer has got to be NO.I do respect the kid and hope he comes back to reclaim some of his past form,however recent history suggests to me that he won't.
Hope I'm Wrong.'"
Agree wholeheartly.
Horne's been a terrific servant for this club for well over 10 years,both on and off the pitch...
But the reality is he's now persistantly injury-prone,and has invariably lost his pace.
Sentiment is one thing,but it doesn't win you football matches.
