catcott_red1 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 opinion on blues site rmixed but most seem trate ahim, according to thewe we've paid a 250,000 loan fee + we're paying all his wages ! ddoubt that that's true ! 250K for a month!!! Think they've been playing too much football manager! We are probably just paying his wages, with a small fee if any I'd imagine. Seeing as we allegedly didn't want to pay more than 400k for Freeman I cant see us paying 250k for a loan signing! Well I bloody hope not anyway!

havanatopia Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think this is a cracking signing Sorry to sound so positive How very dare you. I hope this is a nail in the coffin of the under 24 nonsensical mantra carp.... well, by definition it is.. and as i said weeks ago or was it only days,, its hard to remember with so many maltesers on offer lately out here cos nobody likes em.. the sooner the pillars nonsense is buried and forgotten and we get on with playing football the better.

formerly known as ivan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Why doesnt the club just come out and say they are scrapping the whole transfer policy. Regardless of age if SC feels you can do a job we will sign you, simple. This months signings have made the board look like fools. I do think played in the centre Wade could be a very good signing.

Why? They have always stated that over 25s will be the exception not the norm. At the moment we are in an exceptional situation. Replacing a 36 year old Carey with a 29 year old El Abd. and getting a 35 year old midfielder on a loan is hardley scrapping the whole transfer policy.

Im not knocking the signing and cant see what I have said that gives that impression. Think it could prove to be a very good signing and much needed experience. What I am saying is why doesnt the club come out and say in principle the transfer policy was great. In practice it hasnt worked so were scrapping it. Then signings like this wont be looked at badly by some fans. Simple really. Edit: You forgot to mention the 28 year old striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 It will be interesting listening to radio bristol tonight if both elliotts play.

Edit: You forgot to mention the 28 year old striker the transfer policy is still in place tho' signing older pro's is the exception not the norm, what part of that don't you understand?

EDoubleD Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 He won't play wing back. He's 35. Reckon he'll be the flair play we sort of need to give us options instead of jet. Still new a shielding midfielder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't signed anyone under the age of 24 other than a 3rd choice goalkeeper in a while. The transfer policy has got us in the mess we are in. Young players struggling. Why not just have a transfer policy of 'we will sign players that improve the team' as seems to be the case. Have you forgotten shorey, harewood, o'connor... So, where is the "exception"?

prankerd Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Omg you 5 pillars disciples are boring!! You take stuff so literally!! How is buying an experienced 29yo and 2 experienced loan players abandoning the policy?? Were in the relegation zone.., you cant build a team of all inexperienced kids you need experience from them to learn from... You knobs who go on about the 5 bloody pillars do it just to be knobs!!

bemmyredjeff Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 History with SC, 18 games this season so straight into the squad. Whose place is under threat or is this for one month to cover the busy period. He's 35 so unlikely to be here next year. Ha ha, take your pick !!

Red white and red Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Predominantly a central midfielder, can see why he's only here for a month, with Kelly coming back soon. Wouldn't imagine Kelly will feature this season, it will take him a long time to regain any level of fitness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 SC himself has said Kelly is unlikely to feature again this season so we are a little light in the middle of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 35! They say about youth players "if you're good enough, you're old enough" and the same could be said replacing the "old" for "young". I mean, if we'd signed Kevin Phillips plenty of us would be delighted, and Elliott's team mate at Burnley (Graham Alexander) did a pretty good job for them after moving there at a similar age.
