Is there anything more exciting....

The midfielder you're missing there would be Alan Judge

In which case chuck Don Masson in there?

[Elite_Pie]

clearly they appreciated his talents as a footballer as his ability was fairly obvious to most people that watched him.

Yeah, it was so obvious that after "the best midfielder outside the Championship" left us, he had two hours at Portsmouth and then dropped to the Irish leagues! How come you spotted this immense talent but the professionals in the game didn't? Aborah was a vastly overrated show pony who had good close control, but was bone idle and offered next to nothing in terms of creating chances and scoring goals.

Don't take my word for it, just have a look at his career stats.

Wrong. Don is Scottish and therefore British, Alan Judge is from the Irish Republic and not British.
And talking or Notts players from the Irish Republic, has anyone mentioned our greatest Irish player Ray O’Brien?

[SwalePie]

Bartosz Bialkwski anyone? How about Paul Heffernan? Let's not forget Noor Husin either

[irishpete]

No Don o Riordon?

I'm wasting my time (again) arguing with you but not everything is about goals and assists, that should be fairly obvious with a defensive midfielder but look at Jorginho at Chelsea, some narrow minded pundits complain he doesn't get enough assists too but it's not what he's in the team for, similar to Doyle now with us, how many goals and assists did he get last season? They're key to keeping possession but it depends if you're playing a system that allows them. You wouldn't play players like Jorginho or Sergio Busquets (or Aborah, don't wet yourself I'm not saying he was the same level) in a 4-4-2 because it would expose them but in a 3 man midfield they will make you tick and make sure your team retains possession.

I'd imagine the main reason he worked so well for Moniz but not for the other managers was because Moniz was the only one that wanted to play that style of football, Fullarton decided attacking was a waste of time let alone trying to keep the ball and Cooper seemed to be more bothered in setting himself up for Forest Green.

You've just put up a far more convincing argument that Aborah was crap than I could manage. He worked well for Moniz????

Yeah, it wasn't that Aborah was a gutless and very limited player, it was that all his other managers didn't realise how to use him!

Fair enough, thought we were talking non English.

No, let's.

The way you seem to have rewritten history because of your dislike for him is a bit embarrassing at this point. There's a reason fans were chanting his name during games and Fullarton was asked more than once why he wasn't playing him, it's because he'd been one of our best players up until Fullarton arrived and fans were p*ssed off, maybe you weren't because he'd already stood on your toe by then or something but the majority of fans wanted one of our best players back in the team.
