[Albion] Transfers out rumour

[Driver8]

Lets not be too hard on GG. I agree that he may be a little over the hill now to perform consistently well in the Championship, (he is into his early thirties after all), and he has his limitations, lack of pace being the most obvious, but he is a fine captain and leader, and under Gus's fluid back four system was a surprisingly good passer of the ball too. Also a fine captain and leader for the past three seasons.

How do you define a fine captain and leader? He was hardly geeing up the troops today.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Does anyone else think that Big Philly has dropped a couple of pounds? Looks about three weeks behind with his pre-season eating.

It's possible. Still fits his moniker appropriately though...

I missed Bridders getting his award...perhaps BP did too. I thought it was bollox!

Bridcutt was definitely there at the end, too. He drove out of the ground while we were queuing for the park and ride bus. Even stopped to chat to someone and I heard him say "I'm going nowhere" when asked if he was leaving the club.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

I've also heard the Bridcutt rumour.
Didn't believe it at first, but Oscar sounded a little cagey in his interview when asked if he was injured.

Definitely injured. I spoke to him tonight as well.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

As long as Bridcutt doesn't go to Palace, and we get 6million+ for him, then it's a good deal for all.

Upson was at fault for Derby's first goal.

I think there were around 4 players at fault for Derbys first goal.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Excuse me?, £4m - £6m for Liam Briidcutt?, your making me laugh! Good player though he is, defensive midfielders just don't fetch that kind of money. I'd bite anybody's arm off who offered us half of that.

Half that? £2m - £3m, I'd be very disappointed. Effective defensive midfielders are a rare commodity, international as well, I still think £4m upwards is about right, we'll see in time.

Take it or leave it but my friend was speaking to Oatway Jnr this week who told him Bridcutt has handed in transfer request

Oatway Jnr isn't even at the club any more, neither is his old man. Ball Sheeeet.

 

[Craig4004]

Funny you should say that, I think his biggest weakness has always been how incredibly quiet and soft he seems for a so-called captain. He's been a very good player for us for three years, but I suspected at times last season that time is now catching up with him and I'm growing more sure of that with every game now. It's time to ship him out and get someone under 30 in our defence.

This with bells on.

Greer can go much to slow for this leval.

Makes a lot of sense for Greer to move on, was bought by Poyet and made captain. Came straight back in at Elphick's (who has apparently been outstanding for Bournemouth) expense when he was made a scapegoat of. Very much a Poyet player and not getting any younger.

Heard the same rumour about Greer a month ago.

The same Elphick who doesn't get in Bournemouth's team?

Probably will after their drubbing yesterday though!

No, no. Please. You must speak to me English, it is good for me to learn.

Elphick is their captain isn't he?

Indeed far too slow.

Needs upgrading but won't happen this season IMO.

 

[amexee]

I don't think that in all the time we've had Greer that I've ever heard him bollock or command the team..maybe he's not needed to but it does appear to be part of his game that is missing as captain!

I have. Every time he cocks up, he starts blaming everyone else. That's it though, so normally just a few rants per game

 

[Hungry Joe]

Interesting that Oscar mentioned Andrews being "a real leader" - captain if Greer goes? (and also can play the holding role if Bridders goes too).

 

[MICK PATCHAM]

Greer can take "cant stand upright" Kaz with him
