Blair Adams gone..... (1 Viewer)

[hill83]

You have to question the viqability of the club moving forward, losing the JR has probably decimated SP budget again! if we survive this year without being relegated it will be a success

I'd suggest the budget has been cut by a hell of a lot more than 10 percent.

Genuinely gutted to see him go!

Yeah same, and I think it won't be long before SP walks, there is only so much bullshit he can take, espeically when he struggles to find 11 players to put a kit on and we start getting smashed every week. Right now we would be odds on for relegation. The only thing to save us is a firing Wilson and some good signings before the season starts. Not holding my breath on either of them.

13/2 to go down. That's HUGE! Look at our form from Jan onwards we should be bankers to go down

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Presley is clueless

 

[spider_ricoh]

He's signed for Notts County.

As soon as he joined he gave us a real balance; it was no coincidence that his arrival coincided with our great run under Robins.

That said, he didn't pull up many trees last season, and those "Sunderland fee" conspiracy theorists should look back to the last half of the season when he could barely get a game purely for form/tactical reasons.

We do seriously need a decent replacement...and no I don't mean Ryan Haynes.

"I feel that some tactical adjustments will limit his first team opportunities"

So...we don't plan to play with defenders next season?

did we this season?

 

[gouldberg]

did we this season?

Well, we pretended to.

 

[skybluetom]

He fell off badly last season and towards the end Pressley clearly didn't fancy him, that said, bit early to let him go without a ready made replacement.

I caught a leaked email from SISU, discussing setting up a project team to get rid of Blair Adams.

It was called the BLAIR ditch project

 

[TheRoyalScam]

Adams was very good and it's quite clearly to do with bonus/add ons but what I don't understand is, if he's been linked strongly with other clubs why the hell didn't we sell him rather than pay him off? Christ even 50k would do wouldn't it?

Quoting larry_david's post because this is my view exactly - why wasn't there a fee involved? If his contract was cancelled 'by mutual consent' how much did he get in cancellation fees?

You know what is really scary is looking at the squad members shown on the official website

The loans and leavers have not been taken off but we are left with a squad of 18 currently where

5 have yet to make their league debut
plus
Our current first team keeper has yet to play for CCFC in the league
plus
2 players with less than 4 appearances each

How many players did he say we needed ? Of a possible back 5 (inc keeper) we have lost 3 - Murphy Christie Adams. Don't know about needing SP to work his magic ...... we need Harry Potter!

What position will this lad Potter play in is he versatile like Jordan Clarke.

 

[oldskyblue58]

think he is a sweeper because he has his own broom

We need Harry, but we've got she who shall not be named.

 

[spider_ricoh]

We need Harry

Debbie? Belafonte?

jesus wept that's bad. So we have just 10 players with more than four appearances. And one of those is Connor Thomas.

It's a whole new model. Other clubs play with a "False 9"...

http://www.thefalse9.com/2013/09/football-tactics-for-beginnersthe-false.html

... we've expanded the theory to include a "Bogus 2" and an "Invisible 3". Expect more to follow.

SP and SISU, always one move ahead.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Not sure what everyone is worrying about...

Fisher said we are going to be challenging for promotion...sisu will deliver...they don't posture one bit when it comes to this.

 

[James Smith]

It's a bit rubbish if we did get rid of him solely to avoid paying an appearance fee, even if it was to Sunderland. However as I've not seen him play much I am relying on a mate who said that he showed promise.
