The thing is if we did sell him now in the next few days, it will look terrible on TB after saying that so it wont happen.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Or he's just playing the odds (see what I did there)
We don't want to sell, so coming out now at this stage and saying "we don't want to sell, he's not available" can only send his asking price (and possibly Norwich's desperation to land their man) upwards.
Either we keep him (ideal) or Norwich are forced to add that extra few hundred grand on his transfer fee to persuade us (not so good but better than a knock-down price for a want out player). It's a calculated gamble he can't lose - a winble as it were.

Bennett will be fine. He always comes over as one of the good guys. Well played Mr Bloom.

This man is just the perfect chairman. Still find it hard to believe he's ours!!
As his poker shows, he's got balls of steel

Well said, anyone throwing abuse his way should be pointed at, laughed at and forced out the stadium

Bit harsh, sounds more like agent pushing him into it than Elliott being mercenary tbh
I honestly cannot believe that agents have the much power over players. They have minds of their own. He chose to hand in a transfer request three days before the end of the transfer window. Like the Calderon situation, it is all very shady. Crofts got things done the right way.
I wont boo, I'll clap for him but it will be half hearted. No that he gives a shit what I think of course.

Stupid IDIOT
IF the potless PILLOCK Dick Tight was still chairman then Elliott would HAVE been a Norwich player LAST week 
I bet he doesn't play while the window is open.Probably be Orient when you see him next

im rather fond of baldricks poem
For a mulitude of reasons I don't think EB will play tomorrow.
This whole saga unsettling him and the team, Gus trying out formations and individuals without him (just in case he does go) and also saving him for the more important game at Orient (IMO) on Tuesday (by then the window is closed and we will know one way or the other).
I personally think he will rest probably 5 or so players of our best starting XI tomorrow.

For once, you're absolutely right.

Mind you, didn`t Gus and Tony say they would never stand in a players way of improving their career.
Next few days will certainly be interesting.

Not wishing to burst anyone's bubble but what did yo expect Bloom to say?
He's going to say he is not available to make sure we get the right price for him. I highly doubt we will see Elliot in an albion shirt again I'm afraid.
