The latest fall guy for ellis or just another bluffing a living at safc?

19th october 2016.

“This football club has to get better at buying and selling football players.

“I see it and I hope I can achieve. Like it or lump it we should be looking at bringing players to this football club and selling them for a greater value.

“We have to look at acquiring players at a younger age too.”

24 days into the first window since those comments and we have lescott the pensioner on a 5 month deal.

We will like. Once he settles down in this league he will be a big asset...

You mean like Lens going out on loan one year after signing him for £9m?

We had no offers to sign him permanently. We needed as much of his wages as we could get off the books, so what was our other options?

He's another one like PVA who is not interested in playing for us at all...

100% will
To start with he didnt cost anywhere near the 14 mil reported. Thats the maximum he will cost.
He is 22, he will improve over time. Put him with Catts and Jan in midfield and he will shine.

You might be wasting your time with your rational posts marra. SMB has spoken.... :lol:

Stone me to death with dried klingon shit, but were going to be no worse off defensively swapping JL for PvA. Financially though it's a very good deal.

Hes a bloke preaching about signing young players to sell on at a profit and not over paying whilst sanctioning such deals as -

8 mill for papi
13/14 million for ndong
Lescott
Pienaar
Anichebe

Hes either a liar, a mouthpiece for short or he joins the ever growing list of people short has lied to.

The manager made those signings. If Bain was interfering with the players the manager wants to bring in people would be complaining about that too.

safc = ComicCon
"Conned" out of having decent players (through mismanagement)
"Comic" because we keep coming back for more expecting different results... jokes on those who keep perpetuating the insanity

He hasn't gone much in the way of developing an identity which is something he talked about. At least not one we like.

Has solidified our "worst team in the league" status.

We've been the worst run club as well since Villa dropped... Hull tried to wrestle that away from us at start of the season, but sadly, they've straightened themselves out a bit.
