Is a GOOD Championship defender, as has been forgotten in a MAHOUSIVE re-writing of history since Upson joined. Should be playing first team Championship football, no question.

Great passer back of the ball as well.

Mellotron = nonsense

You cannot be serious. Adam is the best HEADERERERER of the ball at the club bar none. Better even than Bridcutt. He gets INSANE distance on his headers. Watch them next time. Meanwhile Greer is well known for being poor in the air for his size, he often gets "done" in the air.

Passing against Birmingham

Greer <<<<<<<< Adam

... and Adam wasn't even on the pitch. I lost count the number of times Greer gave the ball away - both ambitiously and sloppily.

Adam is excellent at the simple 10 yard pass, because that's basically that's the limit of his passing range. Gordon could take a leaf out of that book.

....as long as its backwards or slightly backwards of square...............this usually means he's passed it too Kush who's even worse with his feet.

I dunno, I'd put money on Ulloa clearing it further with his head.

Just had a quick glance on the Bristol City forum, appears their chairman has guaranteed a signing before Saturday.

AEA is mentioned (albeit from the Rumours site) as is ....................Chalobah! They're as deluded as us! :lol:

It was more the inclusion of 7 (SEVEN) '<' in your comparison. El Abd's heading technique is excellent, I'd agree. He can launch a (free) header miles. That isn't the same thing as actually WINNING a header in an aerial challenge. Neither Adam OR Greer are particularly strong in that area. Adam knows this very well, which is why more often than not, he will attempt to move his opponent under the ball, and stop him heading it, rather than actually trying to head it himself.

I don't think there is much difference between Gordon Greer and Adam El Abd. Both would need replacing were the Albion to get promoted.

Would actually like to see Lewis Dunk get the odd outing alongside Matthew Upson as he has drastically improved the games of both Greer and El Abd. Imagine Dunk could learn a lot from him and Upson appears a good on-the-pitch communicator.

Well, I'm surprised. Bristol City!! Another replacement to come in if he goes then?
