Deegan leaves by mutual consent!

Sufc.2008 · May 13, 2016

Thought this deserved it's own thread, seeing as it's not a release as such...

"I deserve to be starting every game... Otherwise I'll just leave"

"You're not good enough... with regret... Gary, you're fired!"

"Ah, that might have backfired somewhat..."

Heard that they couldn't find him a tight enough pair of shorts.

That is a lie Mr Brown, Deegan is not the sort of player to demand to play, think he's confusing him with Bolger !!!

Not disappointed personally, he did a decent job at times, especially in L2 but had his limitations. If it's true he wanted a guaranteed start then he's deluded about his own ability IMO. Yes he's a useful squad player but I very much doubt he'll be a gauranteed starter for any L1 team and most of L2 too.

Probably as bad as each other which is why they're both going.We need better then him anyway so why the fuss?:unsure:

Good, we can do much better than Deegan

I.e. Billy Knott would be good

Very good, 'Sufc.2008'! :smile:

Well, if this is true ............ then I will say a big thanks to Deegs for all his efforts. :thumbsup:

Seems like Brown is starting to ring the changes in midfield and that is something that I agree with.

Iirc Northampton released him two seasons ago when they went down and he struggled to find a team , we had him initially on short term contacts. I doubt if he will have the same problem finding a team this time, although I imagine it will be back in league 2

SUFCStu · May 13, 2016

No way is Deegan good enough to be starting every week in League 1, I was suprised we kept him on to be honest.

I thank him for the promotion, and good luck elsewhere.

Really , I'm thinking that Leonard , Timlin and Atkinson have that same old feel of players that work hard but lack creativity.
I do however think Leonard is a cut above the other two and will develop further.

Sadly he was allways picking up to many yellow cards .And not for his miss timed tackles .He talked his way into the refs note book time and time again .

If we are to push on next season from this one then we need better quality players than deegan, simple:smile:

shrimper-james · May 13, 2016

Sad to see him go, but there are definitely better midfielders out there

OldBlueLady · May 13, 2016

Goodbye Deegs, good luck. There's a good player in there who should try watching some Makelele videos to work out exactly what his best role is!

A player like Deegan needs to play in a side with 2 wingers as it gives him his outlet to release the ball. He should try finding a manager that plays like that

Deegan wasn't mobile enough to play as one of two centre midfielders so I felt he was better when we had him and two others in the middle

That's would be true of he could pass the ball with any accuracy.

Personally think he is an average league two player

An underrated passer and footballer and an overrated defensive midfielder. Sad to see him go though, felt he was a useful squad player. He probably doesn't quite have the athleticism or pace to really cover the defence, which sees him being rash.

I wonder if Deegan's on-pitch bust up with Thompson at Wigan followed by a yellow card and then being substituted (before the ref could find a reason to send him off) was still quite fresh in Browny's mind when it came to a discussion about the future.

Deegan leaves by mutual consent!
