I can't see Gladwin or Louis attracting much interest from the Championship. They have had some good performances but have not set League One alight on a consistent basis. They could both do with another 6 months to prove consistency.
Agree, Gladwin was awful at Burton. Thompson has been pretty average last few games IMO, the latter been saved from criticism due to being "one of our own." Still feel it's essential to keep them until end of the season though.

Very strong comments.
If it's a permanent move elsewhere then I'm sure he'd just say it.

Just about to say something along the same lines. Nothing in that interview hints at it being our reluctance to conclude the deal so can only assume it is something their end.

Perhaps City have reevaluated his potential value in their relegation struggle, what with Flint not turning out to be the messiah after all.

I was wondering if he'd fallen out with somebody but his latest interview pretty much puts paid to that. I'm now leaning toward the 'Cotterill being a dick' camp.

It would indicate that Bristol City want him for cover. Which will infuriate their fans as everyone knows that he has zero future at BS3 and will need better cover to stay in The Championship.
Unless they're trying to sell El-Abd and we don't want to and/or can't afford him.

Maybe they're trying to force him out and he's refused to take a pay cut or severance pay on the remainder of his contract. I suspect he's probably signed up to about 5 times what he would likely get here for the next 18months. Can't really blame him if this is the case.

I was talking to a City fan at work before Christmas, and he was convinced that they wanted El-Abd off the wage bill. They certainly don't want him. I'm in the 'Cotterill being a dick' camp...

According to the man himself, money has nothing to do with it.

I took that as being Swindon money has nothing to do with it.

My immediate thought was City have sold him to someone who have yet to announce. Only because it was so definite in nature.

Would be very disappointing if he went to anybody else in this div tbh.
