SWINDON TOWN: Kerrouche contract cancelled
3:00pm Monday 25th June 2012 in News
Mehdi Kerrouche has had his contract with Swindon Town cancelled by mutual consent
STRIKER Mehdi Kerrouche has had his contract with Swindon Town cancelled by mutual consent.
The Algerian frontman scored eight goals in 18 appearances for the Robins after arriving in Wiltshire last summer, but fell out of favour with manager Paolo Di Canio during the second half of last season.
Kerrouche, who spent time on loan at Oxford last term, is now free to find another club ahead of the new campaign.

Shame about Kerrouche but obviously has the wrong attitude and rightly if thats the case we have to move on and so does he and maybe he has learnt a very harsh lesson. Too many players with big chip on their shoulders and Kerrouche is one of them.

Maybe I go to games with my eyes shut, but his attitude looked fine every time I saw him play. Certainly not one of PDC's worst signings. There must be half a dozen ahead of him on that front.
I never saw him that much but did hear he was a loose cannon.
Looked sharp to me - but if he ain't doing what is asked of him on the field can see why he did not fit in.

We had a big squad and only a few have had that aimed at them which must mean they are not the norm

There is an article linked to the story on the BBC where PdC say he needs to train better and learn no I in team - that was pre rovers - so I think we know the outcome of that warning

Come on Brentford Steve and LeGod what all this about we all support the same team so why all the name calling ?
I'm a Ferndale lad so if there is anyone who has a dislike for Pinehurst lads it would be me. I grew up many years ago and realised anyone who comes from Swindon and supports the Town has to be an okay guy. Bury it lads and move on.

Now Legod....I'm a Pinehurst lad, born in Whitworth Rd, moved to Tovey Road before finishing up in Limes Avenue before moving to the other side of the Town, I hope this does not mean you will now form some sort of judgement on me for that? I often enjoy your posts and would be disapointed to think that you pre-judge people because of what part of the Town they originate from. I had a wonderful time growing up in Pinehurst meeting some of the most honest people you could ever wish to meet, a place where a spade was a spade and people were upfront. I'm sure yours was just a comment made in the spur of the moment after a bit of toing and throwing between you and Steve so I hope you can rectify that before some other posters take real offence, not everyone will remember there is no tone in texts, e-mails etc so hopefully both you and Steve can draw a line under this and forget the upset....just be a little bit more careful in the sweeping statements department.

Clearly Kerrouche had talent but the loan to Pox then Paolo revealing that he had the fitness of a 55 year old woman spoke volumes - the exit was inevitable. A shame as the memory of Kerrouche banging in the third away at Crawley will live long in the memory.

We all know that on his day he can score amazing goals, but two men with Mediterranean temperament in one camp were never going to agree on some issues . I wish him well and I suspect he will head back to North Africa.
One more off the payroll and some searching for clubs for some others we can be assured of.

I think Di Canio has too much pride to be honest, just because he thought he was 'lazy' in training doesn't mean he didn't put the work in on the pitch.
Di Canio, you got this wrong, should have played him and kept him, good player.
Good luck to him wherever he goes unless it's the Pox - then I don't give a $hit how he does :')

By the way I was brought up in Pinehurst in the fifties, salt of the earth and a good school that was always at the front when it came to sport. Contrary to what some may think it was an area that was populated with post war 2 servicemen, Everyone worked, and eeryone was treated with respect unlss they come from Ferndale of course). All good banter with them and nothing near as bad in todays violent society. Yes we were poor, but a happy childhood for most of us and we could read and write and new our tables without the use of a calculator. Happy days!

Just for once LR, instead of having a pop at me with your comparison with Clarke and Boateng just because I've asked how you know how you know Kerrouche did not get a winners medal, why don't you admit you might be wrong for once in your life and you don't know it as fact that meudi never got a medal. If he didn't, then it would seem STFC were being vindictive towards a player that appeared 18 times and scored 8 goals which cant be compared with the 2 you mentioned. I would find that hard to believe, especially after Paolo said publically he would be treated the same as every other player.

Indeed they were happy days Old Town. Interesting to see how many of us are still supporting the Town from this area of Swindon after all this time. Respect to all those who lived in "tin town" from those who lived on the better side of the brook !!! COYR
i think Southbrook was more a home for you lot. Did used to enjoy a pint sometimes in the Inn there.
The building I believe was originally a farmhouse.

You've made yourself look a bit silly here, especially by jumping to the wrong conclusion about who he supports, when your name is a clear reference to a former Southampton player. That's a strange choice for a Swindon fan, don't you think?
Steve-Brentford - never seen you post on here before so your obviously a fan of Douglas and following him around his clubs. Well i saw Kerrouche attitude in games and he was taken off after 20 minutes at Colchester for his attitude he was taken off early against Rovers away and Steve shouldnt you be on the Brentford forum? T**T

You are making yourself look like a Pr*ck.
No need for abuse for anybody who comes on here, except for childish OUFC idiots.
