Sam baldock - Merged

Possibly you may not be able to offer the wages we currently can? I am not sure of your financial state, but the fact you get 30k a week, surely you can't be that badly off?

It seems we're losing money despite our huge season ticket sales, record level shirt sales, ground breaking sponsorship and relentless pie eating and pint drinking. We are also totally focused on adhering to FFP so thee is every chance we would quibble over wages.

I must tell you boys, El Abd started the friendly today vs Portishead, and played very well, and seemed very settled, having a laugh with team mates in the warm up etc etc.

I am prepared to give El Abd another chance, he wasn't a starter for your lot for no reason, and I believe a good pre-season, and he'll be starting away at Sheffield on the first day.

Ayling, El-Abd and Osborne as a back 3 with wing backs of Cunningham and Little look exceptional on paper for this level.

Or the story story was bollocks.

I did find it strange none of you had heard of it until then, so possibly.

 

[Brizzle Lad In Peace]

Fair point. If I'm honest I would have expected him to be a starter, considering the amount of CB's we currently have.

Seen Upson went, dissapointing for you, as he is still quality I believe.

Was he out of contract?

El Abd wasn't a starter for us, well not since 4 years ago. A good league 1 player though.

Yeah, took the money to sit on Leicester's bench

He was mate, won player of the season too

Read that. It was everywhere a few days ago.

'Brighton were unable to agree terms with the Londoner'

So he turned us down? Or we pulled out of negotiations because he wanted me than we would offer? I would say the latter. Either way, I'm not too sure our interest when THAT far. I believe he was on the list of players to look at, but I'm 90% sure we were never overly bothered about getting him. Why would we? He's a right back/covering centre back, we've got 2 right backs and he's not good enough at centre back for a team like us. I will say, I think he'll excellent for yourselves as a 'third' centre back

Get a good enough replacement, and you'll be up there again.

You seem to always sneak into the top 6 one way or another.

We certainly snuck in last season, we were very average all season. Hopefully we'll see a bit more tempo about our play this year and have a little less reliance of defensive resilience

Don't panic Mr Mainwering

As well as being versatile is Mark Little gets injured at RB, where El Abd or Flint could slot into the back 3.

They don't like it up em!!

Bristol City probably want more for Baldock than a packet of pock scratchings.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

From looking at the Bristol City forums, it doesn't seem likely they'll let him go. I doubt he'd want to be back up to Ulloa anyway and I can't believe Leo will want to back him up.
