Chris Eagles
Just being interviewed on SSN about Ronaldo transfer. He’s looking well. Not seen him in the media for a long time

Re: Chris Eagles
Was just about to post something on the transfer thread but didn't think it was transferred specifc.
Did look well and still has his 'girly hair'. Was thinking he was still at Oldham but justread that he is without a club.

Fantastic in the Championship on his day, very inconsistent though.

If Cornet isn't at least ten times better, then we will have wasted our money.

Re: Chris Eagles
Oldham were his last club but his last start for them was November 2019 and his last appearance a month later as a sub.clarethomer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:39 pmWas thinking he was still at Oldham but justread that he is without a club.

Re: Chris Eagles
I thought he was a good signing-immense skill and control. I know he suffered from asthma which must have had an impact on his fitness

My brother is a handicapped supporter and Chris always took the time to talk to him and even gave his shirt, hair band and shoes when he left.

Re: Chris Eagles
Played more games for us thab any other team. Thought he was a good player at the time to be fair.
Re: Chris Eagles
I always liked him. That team with Eagles, Paterson, Blake, and Elliott put the fear of God into those Championship defences. Ran them ragged and tied them in knots.

Re: Chris Eagles
A few good reasons
1 Younger than Eagles
2 Better player than Eagles
3 Still playing football

Re: Chris Eagles
Eagles offered far more to this club than Lennon ever will.
One of the key signings that turned Cotterball into dare to dream

Re: Chris Eagles
Eagles was one of 3 or 4 players who looked Premier League standard that season

His best football for us was actually the following season in the Championship under Brian Laws.

He was fantastic, exciting to watch, always looked dangerous , and blessed with guile ad trickery. I loved watching him. A cut above.

Re: Chris Eagles
another who chose the wrong club to leave for. Underachieved which was a real shame, he was excellent for us
Re: Chris Eagles
His performance at Sheffield United in the promotion season was a class above anyone else on the pitch.

Re: Chris Eagles
Eagles was one of those players that falls into the “too good for the Championship, but not quite Premier League level”

Re: Chris Eagles
I remember him being excellent away at West Ham in the Premier League. Another 5 minutes and we might have managed a draw despite the awful first half. Can't remember any other stand out performances though in the top flight though as you say

Re: Chris Eagles
Always had a lot of time for him. One of those players that took the game to the opposition. Remember him tearing us apart, when he played for Wednesday, one New Year’s day. Those were grim days indeed.
