Chris Eagles

[claptrappers_union]

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

[clarethomer]

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.

Well, if the Cornet deal falls through...

Well, if the Cornet deal falls through...

I will be logging off and not coming near this place for a while ha ha

[PadihamThickNeck]

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

[Gordaleman]

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

[ClaretTony]

Oldham were his last club but his last start for them was November 2019 and his last appearance a month later as a sub.

[LawsCanalJump]

He is at Melksham FC now

[warksclaret]

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

[LoveCurryPies]

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.

[ClaretAndJew]

Played more games for us thab any other team. Thought he was a good player at the time to be fair.

[ksrclaret]

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.

Blimey...Eagles must have looked like a homeless person going home that day

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

We have just resigned Lennon so why not?

[ClaretTony]

We have just resigned Lennon so why not?

A few good reasons

1 Younger than Eagles
2 Better player than Eagles
3 Still playing football

[Devils_Advocate]

Eagles offered far more to this club than Lennon ever will.

One of the key signings that turned Cotterball into dare to dream

At PL level neither of them offered very much at all.

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

You must've been at different games to me.

I doubt it, its more likely we just have a different opinion

[fidelcastro]

I doubt it, its more likely we just have a different opinion

And it's my opinion that he wasn't Premier League standard.

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

[Wile E Coyote]

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

[Vegas Claret]

another who chose the wrong club to leave for. Underachieved which was a real shame, he was excellent for us

[Fretters]

His performance at Sheffield United in the promotion season was a class above anyone else on the pitch.

[wilks_bfc]

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

[JohnDearyMe]

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

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

[Wuggawumphwumph]

Great song that we sang for him

[SouthLondonexile]

A very good player for us.

[jackmiggins]

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.
