Mike 2 Posted January 31, 2017 Selling Brady makes the team weaker. Olssen, Redmond, Brady... all sold. Unknown Ajax player in... do not get anyone that thinks this is good for us as a club or a good deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,226 Posted January 31, 2017 Agreed. I can''t understand fans who celebrate selling our best players just for the sake of a few quid in the bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted January 31, 2017 A player with undoubted talent that didn''t show it enough. You can be the best player in the world but you''re nothing without the right attitude.Saying that, I think he''ll do well at Burnley under a good manager in Dyche and a well organised and decent squad.

ron obvious 1,502 Posted January 31, 2017 Brady was undoubtedly an excellent player but I don''t think he''s really wanted to be here for quite a while. Be interesting to see how he progresses at Burnleigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted January 31, 2017 Capt i would agree normally but brady was out best player but he didn''t show it enough if he was playing 7 or 8 out of 10 most weeks but he wasn''t so will we really miss him ? now we can reinvest and bank some money to keep us going next year if we do not go up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted January 31, 2017 To be honest all three going to premiership clubs says a lot about their quality and true we do on paper have a weaker side.But Murphy has been as good this season as Redders was in our last championship campaign, so no loss there.To have sold our entire left hand side and as said replaced it with what looks like a very solid young player who can slot into Czb if needed and adds to the muscle in height and size, no bad thing.We are however in need of another left sided midfielder, hopefully a young player with something to prove.

SeattleCanary 0 Posted January 31, 2017 As has been said above selling Redmond, Olsson and Brady has dramatically weakened the squad. Those who were saying this was our strongest champ squad are very wrong, we are gradually downgrading. Murphy has lost his early season form and is miles off of Redmonds quality.

HertsCanary93 222 Posted January 31, 2017 I''ve never been too enamored with Brady and didn''t even think his Euro''s was as good as some hyped it up to be. He is certainly a good player, but £13m is good business especially if we are bringing in the lad from Wigan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted January 31, 2017 Burnley paid Derby £10.5m for Jeff Hendrick last year meaning the fee for Brady is higher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted January 31, 2017 I can honestly say I can''t remember watching a match where I came away feeling that Brady had an excellent game. Over rated in my opinion, but each to their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,226 Posted January 31, 2017 Fingers crossed Norfolk. Agree about the consistency point but players like Brady don''t come here often and I''m miffed to lose 2 players this window who were genuine Premiership quality. Hey ho onwards and upwards.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 31, 2017 @lincolnNo, we need a proper LM, not another AM that can play there if neededPritchard, like Hoolahan or Naismith, will drift central leaving a hue hole down that side, leaving the full back exposed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,297 Posted January 31, 2017 Redders in our championship season played 43 times, scored 4 times.Murphy this year has played 21 times scored 6 already, been involved in our better games too.Like for like no downgrade in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,297 Posted January 31, 2017 Really! Southampton already in a final, mid table, Burnley mid table 10 points from the bottom three & Swansea seven year in the top flight! No not premiership standard at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 31, 2017 I''ve looked on links to find £13M but can''t find one.All I have seen is more than 10.5 or undisclosed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted January 31, 2017 I didnt want to see Brady go, but i was never convinced by him at LB either where he ended up all to often. Seemed to me that we were negating alittle his best ability which is slinging a decent cross over. At the end of the day we got a decent fee for a player that seemed to want to be back in the prem straight away.We''ll just have to wait and see how the new lads get on i think it''s unfair to put to much expectation on them in direct comparison. One plays for Ajax but doesnt get a game in a dutch division where Van Winkle scores for fun. The other comes from Wigan with a slightly inflated price tag, who was playing league 1 football last season, a level that AN struggles to see any players worth buying. A big plus is the extra height in the team will hopefully help when defending corners and freekicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bad Wolf 0 Posted January 31, 2017 Disappointed to see Brady sold but was becoming inevitable. I wonder if we were second or third in the champs if we would have sold Olsson and Brady? Feels to me a bit like accepting we are not going to be serious contenders this year but hopefully our talented young players will be more prepared for next season.

MyGodWeArePoorToWatch 0 Posted January 31, 2017 All,kind of depressing to be honest. We loose two well known and good players, and sign up to now one confirmed unknown player for silly money ( if we even have ) and a player from Hollland that did not trust the club enough to commit full time. Then again, a pretty standard transfer window for us. Where has all the money gone. Sing along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
