UPDATED: Adam El-Abd SIGNS for Bristol City

[Dave the OAP]

Oh bollocks!

 

[Footsoldier]

Probably gone for £50k

 

[lizard]

Best of luck Adam, thanks for the memories.

 

[Taybha]

Good luck Animal

 

[soistes]

What world cup are Egypt going to ?

good point

 

[portslade seagull]

Great another player that now needs replacing

 

[kingstn seagull]

Anyone got any idea of the Undisclosed fee?

 

[Lurker]

What sort of money are we paying these guys when Burnley and now Bristol City can attract our players away from our club with better deals?

I don't think it will be weekly wage alone that swung these deals, I suspect contract length is a big factor.
Wasn't contract length part of the problem in the Murray debacle, or is my memory playing tricks?

Good luck to AEA, he never let the team, the club or himself down, a top pro ... but he deserves to play regular first team football, and i really don't think he is first choice material in a team with serious ambitions to chase Premier league status.

I would now seriously back Brizzle to get out of trouble this season if AEA is their team captain, and maybe even push for promotion next year?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Very sad to see that.

[fosters headband]

Do you think we tried hard to keep either of them? Were we prepared to offer 3.5 years to either of them with our Prem ambitions?

Hold on, Adam only signed a contract in the summer to stop him going to Barnsley and must have increased his wages then, so therefore we did not have to even let them speak to him. But having done so City must have offered more than we pay him.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Good luck Adam, sad to see him go.

Looked mightily shell shocked to me

 

[northstandsteve]

3.5 year deal probably equal to the remaining part of his contract with us. Be interested what the fee was. I would say several hundred thousand.

 

[Muzzy]

Bad day for the Albion but onwards and upwards. Reasons that we may never know behind this deal. Wish you well Adam and thanks for everything.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Anyone got any idea of the Undisclosed fee?

It was undisclosed , probably nominal.

 

[portslade seagull]

More Brizzle fans at the play-off final ? it was only a 30 minute jaunt for them ..... Now watch either Greer or Upson get a season long injury it's in the stars

 

[Albumen]

I don't believe that for a second. He knows Bristol, they're a good club, he's desperate to play and he knows his time is up. It's got f-all to do with money.

 

[Mowgli37]

Devastated, two of my favourite players gone in one window Good luck Adam and thanks for the memories.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Damn. Another one bites the bleedin' dust.

I can't really blame Adam for going to Brizzle if he gets regular first team football, but it's sad to see him leave us after all this time. He always gave his all when he pulled on the blue & white stripes: and indeed showed a marked improvement in his all round game since his first season with us. Thanks for everything Adam. I hope you go on to achieve even more personal & professional success at your new club.
