4froale Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 He's hardly been involved in our "renaissance" prior to Stevenage. so get rid of him? were short on numbers as it is. Regardless of whether or not he is playing well at the moment we all know how good furman is when he's at his best(2nd half forest away etc). We certainly need players like him if we are to stay up, its would be absolutely stupid to let him go for some :censored:ty little loan fee.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Extremely reminisc The phrase 'talking :censored:' covers so many aspects of this thread. Extremely reminiscent of the Danny Whittaker is better than Richie Wellens bollocks. Except this time it's Anyone or No one is better than Furman. Jeez.

lmfmadridOAFC Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I like him a lot, I think he is an effective player in the right position. I hope we keep hold of him beyond this season, though cant see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Dan Gardner, a million times better, I reckon a £50,000 fee to Halifax + less than £1,000 a week will land him, £50k For someone who has played 2 league games and then released by Crewe over someone who is an international midfielder I have never seen Gardner granted but running games at that level against leauge 1 is a totally different story Furman In Quarmby Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 If we got a loan fee, and that loan fee was used to fund a replacement who was as good as or better until the end of the season, then I would not have a problem with him going (but will stop short of the 'good riddance please let it be true attitude).

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 all I heard were people slagging him off, when he cleared the ball when we were under pressure some guy shouted ':censored:in'ell Furman stop losing the ball' To be fair, it was his hacking away of the ball against Crewe which let to them scoring the winner straight after we equalised. He's really prone to that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't think we'd be looking to replace him until the summer In the meantime Murray, M'Changama (if back this season), Winchester, Mellor, Wesolowski, Simpson, Baxter can all play there. Money now rather than nothing in 3 months for a player we've got loads of cover for makes sense to me. With M'Changama most likely ruled out for the season and Wes & Winchester currently nursing knocks/ muscle injuries, it's the timing that concerns me unless he is to be replaced or the three mentioned are available this weekend (or very soon). I like Furman but he's clearly not had the best season wearing our shirt. I thought he'd be someone who would really be digging in during remaining league matches to get the points needed but seemingly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz te Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Some latics fans wind me up with their views on players. How would it benefit us to let our captain go at a time like this? people say he loses the ball too much but he isnt a ball playing midfielder, hes the type of midfielder that wins you the ball back with his tackling and work rate.

bossrocks Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Furman was very good second half vs Stevanage and did well when he came on against MK Dons and Everton. Not sure what our fans want or expect of him. He was poor earlier in the season but then so were most of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It's things like this that really piss me off. Furman is a good and improving player. Most of you have seen or been told how bad this team can be but you will also have been told or seen how good this team can be. The Dickov era did little to improve any player that came our way - most went backwards. Putting Wes and Furman both as holding midfield made them both look poor. They aren't he isn't. He is just the sort of player we should be trying to keep. How can we need to sell anybody given the cash that has been generated by the cup run?

ZiggaZaggaAthletic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Had him on the back of my shirt since he was signed by he who should not be named.. Sure he has his off-days and this season hasn't seen the better of him, but how anyone could say we would be fine/ not the best we could do needs to have a rethink. He is our captain, he is a ball winner, power of foot and a top bloke in person. I would love to use some of the cup money to get him a better deal. Furman, Grounds, Simpson should be priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Persumably Donny don't think this Gardner chap woudl be a better option. I don't often comment on playing matters as i don't see manay games but having been to Stevenage and seen his contribution there I'd be astonished if he were allowed to go given the current league position, especially as Wesolowski hobbled off.

Break The Silence Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Were right in the middle of a relegation battle and some of you think it would be a good idea to let our captain leave? Baffling. Indeed. Absolutely mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 didn't we do :censored: when Stephens went to Southampton on loan? and didn't we do :censored: when Furman went to South Africa? He's our captain and we'd miss him a lot more than people think. Would be a bad move to let him go, because he's one of the players that will keep us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) http://www.soccerbas...s&season_id=142 Soccerbase stats say we've been crap with or without him this season, slightly less crap without him last season and in Penney's season and crap with or without him in Dickov's first season. In summary:- we've been crap and he's been a fundamental part of us being crap* (*along with the majority of his team mates and his managers) Edited February 21, 2013 by HarryBosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philliggi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Personally think loaning/selling him at this stage of the season is completely moronic. he is clearly a key figure in the squad, and all first teamers will be needed to play their part between now and may. however, i fully expect him to leave in the summer and if im honest i wouldnt have any qualms about that. him and weslowski are one and the same, and we need to be getting a creative attacking midfielder in there alongside them. Furman isnt the be all and end all of this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
