[Archived] Vince Grella Signs

[rebelmswar]

I think Ryan Giggs has played more for us.

[Majiball]

He should hand some of his wages back out of pure shame.

Like the American did at AC Milan, seriously he should think about it.

If only footballers came with warranties.

The part that makes me laugh is the way they talk about him having his plantaris muscle removed:

"It has been hard for Vinny because he's picked up lots of niggly injuries, then this one is a big operation on his achilles where they've actually had to remove the plantaris.

It's worded to generate sympathy for his plight, even though the plantaris muscle is a vestigial muscle.

[Roversi]

poor grella, always in the reserves for me on fifa and first to get transfer listed on football manager. safe to say, the most injury prone player in the last 10 years.

[super_arran]

He should hand some of his wages back out of pure shame.

Would you?

Because I wouldnt. It's not like he's purposely getting injured

[broadsword]

Knew that would provoke a comment from you.

He's obviously not been doing it on purpose, that's silly talk. But would I re-pay an amount of my wages? Yes, I think so. I'm not talking about handing everything back and living in sackcloth and ashes, but some sort of token gesture as admittance that his time here has been a crushing disappointment and marked by many, many absences, yes. It's not like he couldn't afford it.

Obviously you'd be sitting pretty on a massive pile of cash you've barely earned. Good luck to you.

[ben_the_beast]

Anyone know when his contract is up?

[Majiball]

12 months left at the end of this season I believe.

[grinder]

Terminate his contract pay him off and get shut - he wasn't much good when fit - probably one of our worst buys ever.

[DE.]

If only Galatasary had taken him he'll probably get offered a new contract in the summer.

[davulsukur]

We should just have him put down. Complete waste of space

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I'd send him out to India to clean up the mess in the chicken factories. At least he'll start paying back some of his huge wages he's likely to be getting for doing naff all.

[cesus]

He surely must be embarrassed by the farce that has been his Blackburn Rovers career ... Then again he must have earned heaps so what ever floats your boat!

[Hughesy]

Have we ever had a more injury prone/ waste of time signing??

[ABBEY]

Have we ever had a more injury prone/ waste of time signing??...THOUGHT ANDREWS WAS YOUR PET HATE?

ARE YOU NOT CELEBRATING AND PRAISING THE LORD ANOTHER ONE OUT?

[danielwhite813]

Time to get rid. The physio must know him better than his family

[rebelmswar]

How in the name of all suffering hell did this walking accident pass a medical?

And who did it and how much was the blind vastard paid?

[Ferrit]

He's completely useless when fit anyway. No loss whatsoever for him to be out for the rest of the season.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Have we ever had a more injury prone/ waste of time signing??

No , not even nearly.

[Hughesy]

ARE YOU NOT CELEBRATING AND PRAISING THE LORD ANOTHER ONE OUT?

Why have you slipped a disc or something?!

[Shabani]

For some reason when i saw the story on BBC my first thought was 'i don't believe it!'

I'm an idiot

[koi]

Complete joke, if he had any dignity he's just call it a day and take a early pay-off.

[47er]

If only Galatasary had taken him he'll probably get offered a new contract in the summer.

He's not a Kentaro client is he?

[Inta Beaver]

Is he related to Jonathan Woodgate? Although Woodgate has got more talent in his left knee bandage than Grella has got full stop.

[savage8]

An absolutely pathetic signing

[Blue n White Rover]

I'll probably get slated for this, but I personally feel, when fit (I know this isn't very often) Grella is one of our best midfielders. He breaks up play well, and his passing is also very good. Probably our best central midfielder when fit.

You can never blame an indivdual for injuries, as you can't control your body. He has been unlucky, and if this is the end for him, then best of luck in the future. Just a shame we didn't get to see more of him.
