B-Rizzle Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So, with a little over a week to go until the start of the new season it looks like none of our major released players from the end of the season have found themselves clubs. Unless I've missed something Marv, Fonts and Pearson are all still free agents, albeit Fonts has supposedly been training with Bolton. Anyone else surprised?

Big Red Rich Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I hadn't heard about Fonts but just found this.... http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11672/9398429/transfer-news-former-bristol-city-defender-liam-fontaine-training-with-bolton Check out who one of the comments is from!!

kachina Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Marvin Elliott is training with Sheffield United and watched their win against Fenerbahce. He's staying at a swanky hotel in the outskirts of Sheffield as well and is expected to be offered terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So much for wanting to move back to London! what he wants and what actually happens are two different things, he may well have the intention of moving back to london but if a contract doesn't appear he can't go back there, he still has to make a living and at 29 he still has at least 5 years as a pro left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It says a lot that the season is almost upon us and NONE of our released players have found new clubs yet, either they are asking too much in wages or clubs have sussed out they weren't as good as they once were. I hope Marv finds a club, wouldn't mind him going to Sheffield united as he has lost his legs and would show their midfield isn't as strong as ours. And for him they would probably pay towards the top end wages for league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kachina Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thought that Elliott was on trial at Blackpool He was about 3 weeks ago, but featured in one friendly and then not the next whilst there and wasn't offered a contract despite them only having 7 players at the time. He has been at Utd since last Friday and watched their game last night. He is expected to play with the under 21s in a behind closed doors friendly with Gossport Boro on Saturday morning.

Pheasant plucker Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 What a crap player he was .... According to some on here He was very lightweight in midfield, no doubting that. Now plays full back - obviously better there! For the record, I thought he was pretty average for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 speaking of released players I didn't relise Luke Wilkshire had signed for FeyenoordTheir most successful period was the 60s & 70s. Since then they've, relatively, been living on their reputation. Good at domestic level but nothing special in European competitions. They are currently 121st in the UEFA rankings (Wigan are 91st) so nothing special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 It's no surprise to me that City's released players are struggling to find another club. They were average at best at City and two or three were too comfortable at the club and produced far too many under par performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy to sit here and take the money, now they're being tested elsewhere they have to kick it up a notch!, for the record I was a fan of marv, not slating him.
