Elvis being released on a free

[symyjym]

It’s all a little bizarre paying £1.5m on a player who never got a good opportunity. Most players would certainly get a good run of matches at that price in this league.

 

[Statto]

Agreed. I have no Burning Love for them either.

Threres no point getting all moody blue about it tho.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Thanks for letting me know that again. It's been nearly half an hour since I was told and I was beginning to forget!

The song was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman who wrote a string of hits for various artists but never for Elvis. That and the fact Elvis died 3 years after the song was released!!!!

With such a bad memory....................what was I saying?

The sooner he slings his hook the better, then we can finally be rid of the endlessly recycled, desperately weak Elvis puns.

It really is the most pathetic attempt at 'comedy' by some posters is it not? I can only assume those that put Elvis puns on here also laugh along to Mrs.Brown's boys and Miranda such is their level of comedy.

 

[tiberious]

I prefer the Mud puns myself. I was even thinking of introducing a few Showaddywaddy or Sweet puns. How about:
"And the Manu at the back said everyone attack, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz"

no he would be offside

The main reason I want shot of Manu isn't because he's bobbins - it's because of the instant stream of Elvis puns on here every time he's mentioned.

Don't be cruel.

Whoever comes in for Elvis will have big boots to fill.

Bristol City want Elvis ?

Bristol City want Elvis ?

Why not they want the full collection after all they killed Eddie Cochran

 

[B.W.]

Bristol City want Elvis ?

They can have him...

 

[osgood]

Assuming that was an intended Elvis pun, that song was actually by Mud, the singer being Les Gray, not Elvis who never sang it. Although some Youtube clips are wrongly attributing the track to Elvis.

True , but i think it was intended to be an Elvis impersonation by Les Grey and Mud ...

 

[Eeyore]

Bristol City want Elvis ?

From the same trashy Twitter that claimed Adam Hammill and Lewis Grabban were signing for them a while ago....

I hope you realise you're reopening a can of worms

It's Christmas, surely he should be referred to as ELFIS

Pretty much everyone we've signed for the dev squad.....

How does a player not comming through from the DS make them a failure? No real expectations on them and have been released by other clubs. If one in 20 comes off it will be worth it small wages for a small risk.

Theres a huge difference between not coming through and disappearing off the face of the earth.

No expectation - Harper (the kid from Madrid) was given a huge fanfare when he arrived, but he can't even get in the DS team any more, he is always on the bench. Hambo (the Finish Zlatan) hasn't kicked a ball in a year. Roland Bergkamp - they were selling shirts in the club shop with his name on the back!!!!! There was huge expectation from these players alone.

Akindayini, Maksimenko, Fenelon etc... the list is endless. The only players that make it are the ones who rarely played for the DS and were chucked in to the first team, Goldson and Ince. Anyone that plays more than a couple of games goes backwards.

The point was that at least Manu made the first team and got on the scoresheet, so can't be classed as big a failure as the players above, in my opinion.

Well I love the puns (not the puns themselves just the fact that Elvis threads descend into them). I hate Mrs.Brown's boys and Miranda. Just Imagine if we ever signed Aaron Lennon as a replacement.

Comparing a player who cost £1m+ fee to kids who came here on a free or a very minimal fee. Talk about comparing apples and pears.
