Mark Noble's silence

[Kevinhammer]

Big hammer from Norway here, haven't got someone to discuss this with so I am wondering:
What are peoples opinions on Mark Noble's silence?

[Gary Strodders shank]

I think I read something in his book about him having other offers and opting to stay put 
.
Why I bought his book enlightening as it is I  really don't know.

[RBshorty]

Never mind being called up for England, no club ever EVER made an offer for him in his entire career. No lower division club ever wanted him on loan, no foreign club thought he could do a job in midfield, nobody ever wanted him. We should have paid him a pittance, he would have had to have signed it. It's easy to be a one-club man when only one club is interested in playing you for your entire life. That's not loyalty.

Not true.

Stoke put in an offer for him after we got relegated, but he wanted to stay and get us back up.

Wow the mighty Stoke. 

Don’t knock it Swiss. Even Messi didn’t fancy it.!

[Swiss.]

The loyal Hammer thing is ridiculous. He was only loyal because he was bang average and never got called up once for England in his entire career.

If he was at Rice's level he would have moved to a Champions League club like Rice did. He knew his limitations and knew he had it good at West Ham.

Let's get it right.

Yet he played for England at all levels barring senior where he was up against the likes of Gerrard, including captaining the 18’s and 21’s.

He made nearly 500 appearances for his local team under eight different managers, the last three of which named him as captain. 

He went on loan to two Championship sides, so that’s a made up comment. 

You obviously have beef about him, probably because he dragged a pitch invader off but while he was not good enough to play for top very top teams, to say no other club would have wanted him if he chose to leave is embarrassing nonsense. 

[XKhammer]

Top fella Mark and very loyal Hamner doesn't deserve some of the abuse from the usual suspects on here 

So you have met him personally? 

Yes and know some of his family 

[Swiss.]

What happened to Fordstar? Enjoyed his battles with Noble loving OneMac on here. 

 

[goose]

Loving the club is hardly a reason for employment. Neither is being a decent bloke.

Jesus. He's not Lord fucking Lucan. Loads of people have met him. Me included. It's no big deal.

Bang on. In fact you could say that because he was "'ünsackable" he held us back when we could have replaced him with a better player. I might be a top bloke and loyal hammer but I wouldn't trust myself to play in midfield for us.

The pitch is for football not protests

By that logic, the players are for playing and the stewards are for stewardship, so why was that sidesweep moron doing trying to act like stadium security when he saw a trespasser on the pitch?

Have you seen how unless the stewards are at the bowl?

[Russ of the BML]

Billywhitehorse, you said "What I have heard from inside the club is that he is very popular amongst the playing and non-playing staff and is around most days. Which is in sharp contrast to Brady who is rarely seen although this is a positive"

Doing what exactly?

From what I understand it was mostly what might be termed 'pastoral'. He talks to and listens to everyone and knows who everyone is. Sounds like nothing but apparently it's appreciated, particularly by the academy players and staff.

So he's nothing more than a secular "club Vicar" then.

Non-jobs for the boys.

My associate who was involved at a high level in the ladies team had Noble on end of a phone and resorted to calling him for help during some tougher times. Noble offered him advice and mediated contact between certain parties to get things resolved. 

As others have said, it may seem nothing to you, but for people at the club it obviously means something. 

[Fauxstralian]

Can’t remember what his overly pompous title is but he is on a good wicket with a job for life
Dont mind him continuing his role from the last couple of years of non playing while in the squad … liaison between manager & players & a support for foreign players settling in
Believe he also works with the underage teams & keeps an eye on developing talent.
