UPDATED: Adam El-Abd SIGNS for Bristol City

[grummitts gloves]

He would be a God at Ashton Gate judging by the rest of their crap defence. Will be a sad day if 'Mr Brighton & Hove Albion' leaves. You know if you cut him half, he would bleed blue & white.

Defending corners i would have Adam over Greer every time. He commands the whole penalty area.

I like Adam and admire his 100% commitment but we are very lucky not to have conceded more penalties the way he wrestles forward when defending set pieces.

 

[Mackenzie]

He's a good defender, I think 'footballer' is stretching it a bit far.

Harsh (but probably true). I'll miss him if he goes, he's a dependable stand in.

 

[Puppet Master]

El Abd played LAST WEEK. I hardly think 'dead wood' is fair.

It's unlikely he's ever gonna be a first choice CB again tho.

 

[wehatepalace]

The most worrying thing about Adam going, is that its the end of the muppet song.

 

[Arrid]

That one particular facet (heading) its debateable, yes.

As to who is the better overall player? No, not for me.

Oh, get over yourself! Just a bit of banter.

From Brizzle forum

Is he a RB? Only 5 11. Maybe cotts is planning to play him RWB instead of Waggy?

 

[symyjym]

Maybe, but the way things are sounding - it doesnt seem temporary.

Yep, I'm always looking for alternative scenarios.

Would be a shame to see Adam go, enjoy watching him winding up the opposition strikers.

We will need to get someone into replace him as not sure Dunk is quite as solid back up as Adam, if Upson or Greer where to pick up injuries.

El-abd REEKS of a typical Steve Cotterill signing/player.



(n/b - slightly harsh on El-Abd)

Yes. Saw that. In lieu of a replacement this looks a bad decision on our part. Likewise, AEA's if it happens.

 

[Hamilton]

If this is true...

(And it may have been proved to be a rumour or an idiotic fish on previous pages)

...then it is bonkers bananas baloney!

Why?

Our defence has proved to be pretty tight this season and Adam has proved he can play a part.

When Greer was injured he stepped in easily. I thought he more than compensated.

I'd love him to remain and become one of those rarities - a one club man.

Gotta agree with that bit. Seems strange.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

El Bad will be the end of an era.... longest-serving player?

That will leave us with only three CBs... well need another for cover.

 

[B.W.]

Maybe he doesn't feel wanted!?

I'll wait till the end of the window before making a decision on that.
