I still remember Etuhu's debut at Wycombe. He only came on as a sub but scored and ran riot. In his brief spell with us I thought he was a brilliant player. Strong, fast, attacking, fearless - all the things that typified Hill's early days with us. I have no idea how he's done at Bury though. | ![](/images/avatars/1182.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

From what I saw on Twitter they seemed pretty glad he was leaving - can't trust them lot to judge a player though! His injury record seems poor but as others have said may be worth a punt at least on trial / short term deal to prove his fitness etc. | ![](/images/avatars/1130.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Looking at that picture, is Jack just taking a minimalist approach to squad numbers now? | ![](/images/avatars/1182.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I remember him saying that too, but money can be a great temptation to most people. | ![](/images/avatars/6419.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Etuhu tended to be the anchorman in our midfield so we never saw the attacking side to his game and it's safe to say he never ran riot for us. He was excellent in that holding role in our League 2 promotion season but bad injuries last season and the general sense that he couldn't be arsed in his brief appearances this season have seen his demise. Could still do a job at this level but can't see him as a replacement for NML as alluded to in one of the earlier posts. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

like hendo but certainly wouldn't regard him as irreplaceable - would be on a big wage too. Matt Done as a possible replacement? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Retained/released list on 15:19 - May 8 with 1712 views | SaxonDale | In spells last season Hendo showed why he can still be such an important player for us at this level, however other performances suggested that if he were to get a decent bid he's not as irreplaceable as he was 2,3 seasons ago. Given the choice would you rather NML or Hendo start in a Dale shirt next season? NML this last third of the season has been unplayable by all accounts, but you only need to see McDermott's form this season to show that it's not as easy as it looks being consistent in this division. Hendo, despite up and down patches in form, has been very consistent with the number of goals he's chipped in for us over the last few seasons. | ![](/images/avatars/1115.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
