Former Shrimps Thread

[Gone_Shrimping]

We did chase Amond in the Summer of 2013. I understood that we even met him off the plane when he returned from holiday in Canada.

Nobody is disputing that signing Barky was important as we didn't have a lot of pace. But goal-scorers are like gold and he got double figures both seasons despite not being played as an out and out striker.

I followed him on Twitter and I got the impression he was disappointed to be leaving Morecambe.

I do think it’s about time we got over Padraig Amond.

He was a decent player but he wasn’t absolutely prolific so the decision to let him go was understandable. A lot of people say he was always played out of position and we didn’t get the best from him but as I remember he got plenty of game time as a centre forward.

Sometimes players will leave and do better elsewhere - it happens. Vadaine Oliver left and has done well in league one with Gillingham but nobody complains about that decision.

And hey - maybe it was a mistake to let Podge go but how many players have left the club over the years? Loads. We don’t tend to get many decisions on players wrong overall.

Padraig Amond 19 goals in 82 games.
Tom Barkhuizen 15 goals in 54 games plus transfer fee

Love how a large part of the article references his celebration after scoring against "the shrimpers" but fails to mention the play off final.
