I expect to see a replacement, or who knows - maybe a new FIRST CHOICE centre back?

(alternatively, the club see Dunk and Maxi as sufficient back up, and see a chance to free up some wages...)

I think it's bad news for us and definitely for him. Go from a side pushing for premiership promotion to a side fighting relegation to to the 2nd division ? Crazy.

I like El Abd for all the reasons that others on here seem to, but surely he would know that if we were promoted, his chances of getting any game time would be close to zero? Better to jump ship now on his own terms, than be excluded from the squad after promotion and end up leaving anyway to a possibly less attractive offer? He seems very slow against some opposing forwards, and his defensive strategy these days seems too often to involve "taking one for the team".

Who cares, he has a cool name!

Seriously though I'm skeptical this will happen, I'm sure he's first choice CB for Maccabi and they're still in the Europa League and he's played in all those Euro games for them.

You'd think they'd want a decent fee to let him go, but who knows :shrug:

Sounds very unlikely then, but who knows?

His actual name, Badias, doesn't sound quite as nice.

Near enough to Badass IMHO. Would be nice to have one of those playing at CB! ;-)

Macabi aren't going to win it though and he may fancy a ride in the Os car (straw clutching, 2+2 etc etc).

I can't believe you're talking about another player when Adam hasn't even left yet!!!!!


(...bursts into tears.)

You're right. And, TBH, I would prefer Adam to come to his senses and stay with the Albion.
