Selling El Abd and not replacing him

[ozseagull]

What a load of bollocks. Maybe if he stayed and played instead of Dunk we'd have never made the play-offs in the first place...

I'm talking about this game in particular. It would have made a difference. If you genuine think it wouldn't then footballs not for you.

Exactly. So you don't sell. El Abd would not have sulked and refused to play he was a professional.

You don't have a clue.

1. The club were WELL within their rights to get rid when they did.

2. He can't even get in the Bristol City team.

He'd have been an absolute liability against Derby's pace, to be honest.

Letting Barnes go cheaply would seem a far greater mistake than the rather unique circumstances of El-Abd's transfer. Anyway.

Agreed. Days like today always produce a huge number of absolutely mental threads. But this one is just stupid on so many levels.

Thanks for your opinion but I'm pretty sure I said not replacing has back fired.

So if by me thinking that only having 3 centre backs in a first team squad is bad which makes you say I'm clueless then I can't agree.

I think you may be the clueless one. You think 3 is enough then?

Really. So you agree that 3 centre backs is sufficient do you?

El Abd was good. But he wasn't that good.

People are clutching at straws here.
Every year one, or at most two, teams walk the league. For the next 10-12 teams, it's a lottery.
You don't always win -- you don't often win -- a lottery.

If money is the issue, then why the bloody hell are we wasting wages on the likes of Agustein and David Rodriguez?

You can put it any way you like, but the transfer activity at the club is a joke - whoever is responsible needs to be sacked.

Rodriquez was a gamble, it didn't pay off. Agustien is on something called a contract, do you know what that means?

That means 2 or more parties mutually agree a terms and conditions, Agustien is contracted to this club for £Xk a week irrespective of whether he plays for X years. We can't do much if we can't shift him in the transfer window and make a loss on the fee paid for him.

Transfer activity? The activity that majority of the time happened in the last week? Jesus christ, finger waving moron.

I think you should read back through and see which post I was actually replying to.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He would have been a walking red card today against the pacy Derby lot.

If you are replying to a specific post then quote it. Oh and well done for dodging the 3 CB question.

I did quote it. Stop being thick.

Again well avoided. I'm clueless and thick because I think 3 CB's is insufficient for a playoff push team.

And the post you quoted I was answering a suggestion that El abd would have forced a move. I said he wouldn't have done. So that makes me clueless.

You have missed the whole point of this thread which is 3 CENTRE BACKS IS NOT ENOUGH

Selling El-Abd has enabled Dunk who is without doubt our most promising player far more games this season. Arguably it's been our injuries to central midfield that have cost us this season as Ince could have gone back to centre half plus we no longer have a midfielder who gets ahead of the ball to supplement Ulloa.

It's put bollocks to blame the sale of El-Abd the lack of fire power up top plus Crofts injury have been our biggest issues.
