Cristian Nade

[Nade]

I think we should re-sign Cristian Nade. He's out of contract and could do a job in the third tier. Here's why:

 

[Pierre's PC]

Trolling at a 3rd grade standard. Son, you are not prepared!

 

[Grecian2000]

D. Must do better.

Where's Horsfield these days?

 

[raul]

I'd completely forgotten it's School Holidays this week.

 

[Foxy]

Should be cheap, he was made bankrupt the other week over payments on his swanky cars.

 

[Nade]

He was a worker. He scored against Newcastle too if I remember correctly. And he set up Kazim-Richards' goal against Bolton.

Did he really "set him up"?? I don't think so. He may have played the ball out to him in a non-goalscoring position. CKR brilliance made the goal. An assist for me is a Key Contribution OR the creation of a goalscoring opportunity there was only one Key Contribution in that goal and that was CKR's right foot and it certainly wasn't a goalscoring opportunity. It was a moment of genius and quick thinking.

Excellent strength from Nade, selflessness too. Strength and selflessness are vital for a promotion push. He needs to be strong to last the distance, and he needs to be selfless to be at one with the team. Without Nade, Kazim-Richards' career wouldn't be worth shit.

Clough needs to give his head a wobble if he's not giving Nade a ring.

O hai Christian

No wonder he ended up in Scotland if this is the best his agent can do!

From the Dundee Courier. I always liked Nade...

‘Fat and lazy’? — Christian Nade’s title-winning performance forces critics to eat humble pie
By NEIL ROBERTSON, 5 May 2014 3.47pm.

Christian Nade says winning the Championship title with Dundee is a dream come true for him.

The big Frenchman produced a man-of-the-match performance against Dumbarton with an impressive all-round display as well as scoring the vital opening goal for the Dark Blues.

He hopes now that he has proved all the doubters wrong after a tough couple of years in the footballing wilderness and banished once and for all the “fat and lazy” tags that have dogged him throughout his career.

The 29-year-old is also hopeful that his agent can negotiate a new deal at Dens to allow him to play with Dundee in the Premiership next season.

Nade spoke to the press still clutching his man-of-the-match champagne and said: “I have kept every bottle I have won. I don’t know how many I have got, 10 maybe at home. I have never touched alcohol in my life but I maybe feel like it after 
winning the league!

“It is a dream come true because I came back to play and to show I could do it at a good level. I have to thank Dundee for helping to get me back to my best — the coach, staff and fans.

“They were behind me all the time. They always pushed me and I was happy I could help them get a result.”

He added: “People say I am fat and lazy, it is always the same things. I just wanted to show them I am not fat. This is the fittest I have been.

“It was completely different playing here for Dundee than it was for me at Hearts because I was playing up front on my own. I prefer to play with a second striker.

“I am out of contract now and I have to speak to my agent, so we will see. Of course I would like to stay. I like being here, the coaches are very nice and the staff are perfect.

“I am going away for a charity event and so I am sure Dundee will speak to my agent.”

Nade said playing in the match was actually far less stressful than the days leading up to it.

“It was exactly how I expected it to be if I am being honest. The build-up before was more difficult than the game because of the pressure from the fans. I saw a lot of their messages on Facebook.

“It was difficult with that expectation but the boys went on the pitch and did well and I think we deserved it.

“At my goal, I got a touch on the ball and then I saw it go towards the goal and I thought: ‘Wow’ and then I scored.

“I wanted to celebrate with my team-mates, the substitutes and the coach.”

The Dundee fans were chanting Nade’s name throughout the game but the striker said he is bashful about the adoration.

He added: “Yes, it is nice but I am a shy person. I get embarrassed and that is why I put my head down.”

When asked if he thought Dundee can make an impact in the Premiership, he said: “Obviously, you need to sign players if you want to achieve something next season because it is not going to be easy.

“Everybody has to work hard and hopefully that will also help us next season.”

Seems popular with the Dundee players too:

Have to say, the picture that crops up next to his name on Google is a tad harsh...

Christian Nade has scored 8 goals since leaving Sheffield United.
Not only that, he has scored 8 goals in Scottish Football, averaging a goal every 10.375 games for Hearts.

Lyle Taylor averages a goal every 1.5 games in Scotland and isn't good enough to get in our team.

EDIT: Nade has just scored 2 in 12 for Dundee so his ratio is now 1 in 9.5 games.. Get him signed up!!!

Actually, it's 3 in 13, or 3 in 6 starts. His ratio is getting better by the minute!

 

[TonyAgana]

No wonder he ended up in Scotland if this is the best his agent can do!

You'd think he'd be able to spell his name, too.

 

[SotonBlade]

Poor poor effort Nade whoever you are.

Nade is a poor player. Scott div 1 or league 2 and below only standard.

 

[William Large]

One of my favourite footy chants.

*Sobs.....Riordan...Miller....Zemmama...Bamba.....*

Hibby and a Blade? Regards from the maroon half of Edinburgh!! up the Jambos and the Blades!

 

[shorehamview]

We can't re-sign Christian Nade. He'd end up eating Scougs and Flynn if left unsupervised.

 

[Nade]

I still think that there is a Nade shaped hole in the United team, and has been for sometime. I don't think we ever really replaced him.

I think Higdon fits perfectly into that Hole.

 

[Blade]

that's a rather explicit thought

 

[Bladesman]

I think we need him back.

To help serve the pies at half time.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

F*cking useless. Though I'll love him forever for that goal against Arsenal.

Got me in trouble in the supermarket, mind. Badbuy jr, then aged 6, dancing up the aisle singing "We beat the arse, didn't we dad". Lived in fear of the 3am knock for weeks.

 

[metalblade]

Eight years to the very day since he scored that goal v Arsenal.

 

[grafikhaus]

Nade is a poor player. Scott div 1 or league 2 and below only standard.

Would fit in seamlessly, then.

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

I will always love Nade for that goal against Arsenal. One of my favourite United games.

What an atmosphere in that game!

 

[Nade]

I'll bring more moments like that if the Blades sign me.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Games played to results gained was very good in the top league , did we make a few quid selling him as he was better than old Horse , Wino sold us a right Lemon their
