Andy082005 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I personally think Bradley has wanted out for some time now. He wanted out before, yet nobody showed any real interest in him. Great character, real good attritude on the pitch......but personally, if we want to kick on to the next level, he is one of the players I would look to replace anyway, if we get offered £500k.....even better. His ability is limited, and he wont get any better......time for Ribs to step in, put the money towards a new, beast of a centre half.....and lets all move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 More likely lazy journalism, a skewed quote as he doesn't say anything to say Brad more than anyone wants out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Hocking Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 There are no quotes from Bradley Orr in this story -how you possibly infer from this that he wants to leave?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just read this http://news.bbc.co.u...ity/8716645.stm it reads to me like Bradley Orr wants out. Your thoughts?? Absolutely no idea to prolong his contract. We need footballers to have any chance on being promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Not for the first time Steve's words, at least as quoted, are ambiguous. It is not at all clear that he is saying Brad wants to leave. One or other of them needs to clarify the position.Given Steve's later comments about committed players is anybody in any doubt that he would not pick Brad if he hadn't sign a contract, just like Gary before him?

Riaz Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 To me, It does seem like Coppell is implying that bradley wants to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbcfc Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 To me, It does seem like Coppell is implying that bradley wants to leave I agree "You can't legislate for players who want to leave," said Coppell. "That doesn't just apply to Bradley, that applies to anybody." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I agree "You can't legislate for players who want to leave," said Coppell. "That doesn't just apply to Bradley, that applies to anybody." Exactly! I take from that quote that Steve is only using Brad's name seeing as that was the name put to him by the journalist in regards to transfer rumours etc etc. Terribly lazy journalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclovin BS14 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 To me, It does seem like Coppell is implying that bradley wants to leave Could'nt care less, brad has been woeful the last two seasons and would be happy to see him go, he cant pass for toffee and always gets caught in possesion and besides we have ribs now who is much better. If we really want to challenge for Promotion next year, players like Brad,macca,lJ,carey,gerken gotta go im afraid. Sorry but the truth hurts.

EmersonsKev Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 He'll end up at Peterborough As for west London FC, couldn't think of anywhere worse for Brad to bring up his twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Bradley Orr is deadwood here and has outstayed his welcome by at least 1 season. He cant pass water let alone to a team member, fairly good at the back but usless at going forward Imo he is one of a few weak links in the team and we have better in Ribs If we get 500k for Braders were doing well. Great passion great comitment Braders but your quality aint up to scratch for where this football club wants to be Thanks for your full comitment and wearing your heart on your sleeve for us Braders but now its time to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Until the club say that Bradley Orr has turned down a new contract or asked for a move, or an offer has been accepted, I think people are being a little premature. For all we know he's quite legitimately asked to think it over on holiday, not uncommon by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunners2006 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Surely a move to QPR is a step down, why would you want to do it, unless you don't feel that your capable of keeping up with the pace that we play at compared to QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Money is the only reason brad will leave to secure a better future for his family. I don't blame him for that! He's certainly had his ups and downs with the fans ( radio phone in ) but until the club come out and say he's off I don't believe a word of it. Love to see ribs at right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwheeler Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Must admit I have now read, re read and then read for a third time the BBC piece and for the life of me I cannot interpret it as stating "Brad wants to go?" At the most a very loose variation on a theme, but, journalistic license more like? As stated previously until when and if we hear a quote direct from the man himself then I suggest we all keep our powder dry? Has anyone not thought that just possibly he has a "very busy" agent who may be looking to test the waters...................................

For all we know he's quite legitimately asked to think it over on holiday, not uncommon by any means. True. All the club has said is that he has been offered a deal but has not yet signed it. Not the same as saying he has rejected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Could'nt care less, brad has been woeful the last two seasons and would be happy to see him go, he cant pass for toffee and always gets caught in possesion and besides we have ribs now who is much better. If we really want to challenge for Promotion next year, players like Brad,macca,lJ,carey,gerken gotta go im afraid. Sorry but the truth hurts. Strange that! Especially as he came in as our second best player this year according to the Actim index which monitors players overall contributions over the whole season. I think carry and gerkin were both in the top 100 players in the league as well as skuse. I'm not trying to say you are wrong but I don't see how any analysis that claims to monitor overall contribution but says that out of our 5 best players you have picked 3 of them that you don't seem to think are good enough despite being in the top 100 players in the league seems like there is something amiss. My only explanation of this is that maybe they are contributing in way you are not seeing or you don't think of as making much of a difference when it actually is.

megansdad Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Would not want him to go - always fully committed, solid in defence and distribution has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Good player at this level, but not irreplaceable. It wouldn't be hard to find a right back better than Orr imo.but i like him personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Shot JR? Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 if he dont want to play for us .get rid ! I personally think Orr is a great player and I normally defend him to the hilt. However, if he does want to leave (and at this stage it is only speculation, so the 'Big Bad Bradders' tag is a bit harsh) then I agree we must accept a half decent offer for him and ship him out.

Pete1975Legend Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 The problem both our full backs have is that they don't get good defensive midfielders in front of them, so there having to work harder which means that they are bound to make more errors. All in all Orr will stay its these bloody agents causing problems as normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Lemon Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 should of got rid of him along time ago. Very poor player and would have Riberio in his position every day of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
