Mr Angry Nugent has been Pompey's equivilent of Lita; a player who might think he deserved to be higher up the billing then he is (or deserves to be) and who got pushed further down the pecking order by newer arrivals.
The expectation of a move to Everton seemed to hang over him from the day he left Preston, and that may also have had an effect on his form, and now having spent the best part of 3 seasons on the bench, him and his agent might see a drop down to the Championship in an effort to revive his career, especially to a club where he would be considered the #1 striker. Just don't expect him to be eligible for a testimonial!!
As for wages, these things are all about VALUE and not about cost. In other words, if SHunt is on £25K per week, and Nugent £30K, which one would represent better value for RFC at this moment in time?
If this were to happen, I think everyone would win - we get a striker of quality who SHOULD have the hunger and desire to prove that he is still worthy of a Premiership squad, whilst getting rid of a player who, whilst on his day to produce the goods, has made it clear for the best part of 12 months that he no longer wants to play for us.
Great deal if it happens.
Spot on
I think there are similarities with the Blades signing of James Beattie with this one and it would show we really do mean business if it ever happened
