Fundamentally nothing against HRK but I think it would speak volumes about our budget and ambition if he was still here next season.

Time to move on and improve.

Him or us Nick?

Its a big ask of both to be honest.

If we give him another year, he will be more "one of our own" than any of the academy lads!

Correct decision. Nice guy and a trier but not really good enough. Good luck in the future.

That's fair. Gave his all but just not where we needed him to be. Like Gibbs not his fault he got offered the contracts he did

Cheers Hal, you gave us a few good games / memories, cannot remember you ever sulking / shirking, wish you good luck in your next venture

We had Kanu, Robson Kanu...,,,,

A player we should never have signed that stuck around for 5 years. Best news to come out of the Albion since Pardew got sacked.

A Craig Gardner type signing who we were obviously going to sign because it was so unimaginative and easy but didn't actually fit any criteria of anything we needed. Then we kept around because the same reasons.

Those two signings on frees basically sum up that era of the club.

quite an enigma, some of his goals were exceptional, but overall never really did enough.

Shocked they haven't offered him a contract. It still wouldn't surprise me if in 2 months time he hasn't got a club and we haven't got adequate forwards in that we gave him a 12 month contract.

I would despair at that to be quite honest.

I said the same as wbasoprano to my dad

Very pleased with the news, he has been paid extremely well by us for very little output in those five years. Happy with all the players we released, time to start afresh with this squad, few more could do with being sold in addition to those released with a clean slate for the new manager and plenty in the wage budget

Well he tried hard, but wasn't effective enough at the end of the day, so I'm pleased they haven't found a reason to give him another extension.

leeiswba · « **Reply #1240 on:** May 27, 2021, 07:02:25 PM »

He tried, scored some memorable goals that I enjoyed; southampton New Yearâ€™s Eve, Villa away. But ultimately not good enough.

FallOutBoy · « **Reply #1241 on:** May 27, 2021, 07:04:51 PM »

He tried, but he was never good enough. Disappointed when we signed him, disappointed when we picked him, disappointed when the crowd sang his name.

I'll be even more disappointed when we give him a new one-year deal in September because Dowling hasn't turned up anyone better.

And more disappointed when he scores against us next season

As if he'll get another gig in the Championship...

Likeable footballer but 24 goals in five years!!

Albertbaggie · « **Reply #1245 on:** May 27, 2021, 07:30:16 PM »

Wish him all the best. I blame Albion, rather than HRK. He had some moments of real quality and, as a free, would have sat well as a fourth choice striker at the club. Due to our ambition, it turned out he was thrust higher up the pecking order than that.
Hopefully, with his and Ivanovic's wages off the books we can move on.

And Gibbs, and Austin, and Grosiki. 5 of our top 10 biggest earners have all left now.

Ummm, thanks for trying Hal? All the best...there were some good goals but not enough goals. Never felt an affinity to this player.

Contributed as best he could. Poor use of funds in reality. Dont blame the player i blame the club. Thanks for the goal at villa park
