So you think that El-Abd's been playing worse than some of our players recently? Bit wrong to pick out El-Abd's technique with some of the other defenders we have. And he is slowly improving on his weaker foot. Do you not remember his 35 yard strike on his left foot a few seasons ago?! Plus, he's only 25, still got lots to learn. And if he is truly as bad as you say, surely he wouldn't be getting regular games under so many consecutive managers. Or are you a better judge than all of them?
I saw this and wondered why it conflicts so much with popular opinion on here, even when BBC Sussex commentators AND Argus match reports seem to have been full of praise for El-Abd of late.
I mean, who to trust? Football club manager and respected former pro Gus Poyet, newspaper reporters and BBC commentary/summary team OR the whine-a-long of NSC?
Headline on back page of this morning Argus.
It goes on to say Poyet regards Adam El Abd as his best defender.
Well done Adam
I would disagree that he wasn't up to it along with many of his ex-colleagues who trained with him everyday. I feel that he is better than Navarro, A Davies and Seb Carole who is back on trial at the club. As a home grown player I presume he is cheaper than the aforementioned too.
Granted Cox and Elphick are not in the form of their life but not many of our new players who have cost a considerable amount of money have been 'setting the world alight'.
After spending a fair amount of money since Dean Wilkins and shipping out numerous players, are we any better?
somebody who can play all across the back four or in central midfield, doesn't mind being moved around and never complains when dropped, plus probably isn't on that much money?

spot on. do you think it would be easy to replace somebody who can play all across the back four or in central midfield, doesn't mind being moved around and never complains when dropped, plus probably isn't on that much money?
el abd is a good squad player. at least recognise his strengths even if you don't think he should be in the team.
Lazy post. Read the thread - there is no conflict on what Poyet says - we all agree he's played well of late. We just disagree on his ability as a whole.
well I must be in a mjortity of 1, but if Gus Poyet thinks El Abd is our best defender, then we are truly f***ed!
...and not only that " he has formed a good understanding with Elphic"..
God above.....
has everyone forgotten that Gus said something similar ages ago, when he got El Abd to sign a new contract?
It's why he's a professional football manager and everyone else on here isn't.

BoF You're amazing, do you keep a list of all previous threads on Albion players with a view to bouncing at a later date should on-pitch developments permit?!?!
