Transfer Rumour Fadz to Blackburn (3 Viewers)

[wingy]

So of our playoff final starting 11…

6 have left the club (Gyok, Hamer, BNC, McNally, Doyle & now Fadz)

3 are no longer starters (Wilson, Kelly, Allen)

Only 2 players remain (Sheaf, Bidwell).

Quite impressive.

Eccles?

Hate to see the big man go, been a great player and servant to the club but the time was right for both parties and good luck to him!

I never saw George Curtis play but In my mind I imagine him being a McFadzean type player, an icon and that image of 4 Rotherham players sprawled on the floor as Fads walked away will be used as a shadow image on a future Hummel shirt

Great player for us. Wish him all the best.

Thomas takes the mantle now!

 

[Otis]

Unbelievable servant for us. Not many players have improved over time like he has.

 

[Ibby]

Big lost. All the best to him.

Thanks for the memories big man, time waits for no man good luck for the future you were a giant for us

I don’t know if anybody else has said , but I was gutted that he wasn’t started or brought on against Oxford .
It would have given us a chance to say “ goodbye “ to a real leader of our team & a great shame we were denied that opportunity .

Haven't read through the thread, but Blackburn always give a big away allocation. Every man and his dog should be heading to Ewood Park (regardless of league position) to let him know how loved he was. Fadz day (masks and all!)

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Forged in steel.

 

[skybluetony176]

Good luck Fadz. Thanks for the memories.

I laid into people on here when Biamou got called a legend




Kyle McFadzean IS a Coventry City legend. Will miss him

Both played their part on our rise(mcadz moreso). Wil never understand why try to put some players down.

Should enjoy what the players did for us last 6 years

George Curtis was the type of player who, if an oppo forward needed totally cleaning out, George would be the man to do it. Take your pick if it was row Y or row Z

 

[jim20]

Sad to see him go, understand why bur would’ve been good to have him around until the end of the season if not playing as an influence behind the scenes to the younger players

 

[hamertime]

A mistake to let him go, especially to a promotion rival.

 

[covcity4life]

If he's going now I hope it's to free up wages for someone coming in

Or may just be that he deserves to go if he wants too

On that point played West Brom in the league cup in 1965 (lost 6-1)John Kaye tackled Curtis in the first half .One you could tell by his face he thought was a bit naughty.He bidded his time and about 10 minutes from the end Kaye did nearly up standing by us.George was only 5 foot 11 but when you got close to him he looked a colossus.
All the best to Kyle.

 

[chiefdave]

Good luck to him, he needed a move as he clearly wasn't going to get any minutes here

Has anyone asked them to make sure they look after him yet

 

[shepardo01]

Sad one this - four and a half years of giving 100% for the shirt and the club.
Re-watch his goal against Blackpool last year. That is what he meant to the rest of the players.
That is the spirit and togetherness he helped to forge.
Hope that his leadership off the pitch and his desire for everyone to give their all is not lost on this group.

Thank you Fadz.

Lost a good song an’ all

Lost a good song an’ all

...another good one!
Hamer/Viks songs the best in years! Now Fadz's gone....
Replaced by "Jake Bidwell" and the Sakamoto drone....

 

[Frostie]

Incredible servant to the club, absolutely invaluable in our resurrection & will rightly be remembered fondly.
Best of luck to him at Blackburn & whatever the future holds. 🩵

 

[SkyblueTexan]

So we’re not getting Szmodics in exchange?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Where is the mcfadzean fairwell message

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Great servant over the last few years. Never moaned when dropped, got on with it and always gave his all.

Good luck Fadz.

How could we say goodbye to someone we didn't know was leaving?

Sad to see him leave but it's best for him. Out of contract at the end of the season and seems like he wants to continue to play even at his age. So he needs to be in the shop window.

Thanks for the memories McFadz

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Fadz still standing.

my mates a blackburn fan, he says they play 3 at the back and have a few injuries in those positions.

He will be their best centre back by a country mile. Good luck Fadz, we will miss you

 

[lifeskyblue]

Fadz a v important player in his own right but his most telling contribution for me was his talking younger and more inexperienced defenders through games. Hyam, Doyle, Clarke-Salter, Panzo and Rose will all be thankful they played alongside him. I was hoping we would keep on at the end of his career to help coach young players. Perhaps he will return.

Can we not start 20 goals 20 goals Sakamoto?

Leak of club's secret formula, traitor!

 

[Great_Expectations]

Not much more to be said that hasn’t already - and that’s testament to him. SBT is rarely United on opinions of players but the unanimous positive messages are recognition of his contribution to our rise.

Sentimental I know but in the absence of a proper send off I do hope we get a goodbye message.
