Sturrock to put a bid in for him by the end of the week.

Sauce?

 :boring:

Oh for fuck sake, not another thread with nothing to back up the claim.

 :|

Wait and see- he is on Sturrocks hit list for this week

So is Blair  :shock: .

You heard it here first people.

He's going to kill him? How selfish.

it is possible.but i think ifil might want to stay here anyway.
i see he signed maclean.i know for a fact he wanted to bring him here but money was the holdback issue.

I would imagine Ifil would be on more than one clubs hitless from The Championship.

As long as dont sell him to Wigan in the Premier and get Titus Bramble in exchange.

He'd be good if he never tried to pass back to the keeper! anyone see his shocker on sunday?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

STFC_Bart please fuck off.

another one?

yep, gifted Andy Johnson a goal.

about half way through the video.

At 26 Bramble should really have ironed out these mistakes by now as he always seems to get punished for them.

Ifil does seem settled here, believe he's just bought a new house in North Swindon.  Young family, maybe he'll show a little loyalty to us.  About time someone at the club did!

Think our saving grace could be that he doesnt wasnt to go down to plymuff- its a long way from his family in London

That's Bart for you.

The annoying thing is he's usually right  :(

We dont need to sell and unless they offer silly money which they can't afford then I seriously doubt Sturrock will get him.

It doesn't matter if we sell him or not, Aljofree's so bloody good  :wink:

There's the possibility that if someone made an offer and he said that he'd like to leave to play at a higher level then we might let him go.

Whoah calm down Ben that was a normal post

Indeed. I know it's a Bart thread, and that it is mere rumour, but the day will surely come in the not too distant future that he will leave.

I guess he's earnt that,  though it will be dissapointing to see him go and a loss to the squad. I'd hope that day would be at the end of the season ratehr than now!

Oh come on Sam, don't go adding weight to his claims. DV proved he was wrong more than he was right. :D

I choose to ignore him, afterall anyone can say that one of our best payers is going to Sturrock/Wise and it would be plausible.

Team manager with a bit of money put's in a bid for a good player shocker.  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Bart, did you not tell us that Jerel Ifil was actually going to be sold to Bournemouth?

Oh yes, you did

Umm, even if Sturrock puts in a bid we should tell him to fuck off, we dont have to sell our players, let alone our best players, let alone the best defender in the fucking league....

I don't think we'll let anyone go other than a few of the fringe/never even get on the bench type players.

And just for the record, Bart often gets things wrong. For example (In addition to the one listed above) according to him, Mick The Greek was going to let the club burn in hell rather than sell up. Happily, as we all know, that was a load of old shit.

Yes we all know you're taking the piss and for some strange reason every goal seem's to be Aljofree's fault in your eyes.

can you remember which thread that post of mine was in?

Can't remember i'm afraid. I'll pick my brains for a bit, and see if anything other than paté and lemon curd appear on the cotton bud.

I had a look earlier when you mentioned it, but cant remember where it is....

I found it  :D

It's still a cracking read!

i can tell you, 100% guaranteed, that sturrock is definitely not interested in any of our players.

If you can't be bothered to trawl the whole thing:



EDIT: Sam beat me to it. Searching for "Bart AND wrong" brings up a lot of results. OCD made me do it.  :oops:

you will be able to add the opening message on this thread to the list soon as well.

Fucking slags, i just found it and then when about to post my amazing moment of supreme searching and discovered you've all jumped on the band wagon i was attempting to drive. :D

I must still post a link, i'm too pleased with myself for finding it.

If someone offers to double your wages loyalty dont come into it unless youve got loads anyway,Don Rogers showed loyalty thats why he didnt play for England....but that was 35 years ago!

If I was Fitton I would stick a 2 mill price tag on his head, that would soon scare the fat scottish twat away

Yeah why not. He's on a 3 year deal. Plymouth can show us the money of back down. Same goes to Leeds with Brez. 2 mill or he aint going anywhere.

how much did we get for Ifil in the end?

don't say that before february please.

undisclosed fee, probablt 2 million with 10quid up front, the rest when he scores 30 goals in a season, summat like that

and a loan player - ala the deal with Spurs

... from the penalty spot.

Wolves have been linked today aqlthough they've denied the link...

Bloody hope nowt comes of it mind.

I dont think Ifils that great to be honest.

Dont want him to go though.

I know what you mean Oevil, I think some of his mistakes would get punished by a better striker than a League One player.

However he'd be a huge loss to our current defence, a Vincent-Aljofree pairing would fill me with dread if anyone got in behind... noit exactly quick are they

At crewe there was one moment where alojofree was left for dead it looked embarrassing

ifil is ace.until he has the ball

not true arriba, it's when he has time to think he gets into trouble.  Brilliant instinct player but I can only imagine how terrible he would have looked with someone like Hoddle playing next to him giving him time to think of a pass!

rob, his abilty with a football at his feet is erratic to say the least.even on a good day.
i agree with what you say about when he has time on the ball.i have raised tha point myself before.
 ifils job is to defend and this he does pretty darn good imo.
i like him and wouldn't want to lose him at all

Agreed Arriba.

If he cut out the mistakes (which he largely has) and had better distribution we'd have lost him by now. I'm happy that's not the case.  He is key to our defence and it would be a bitter blow to lose him.

When he was suspended last time we lost 3 out of 4 games conceding 10 goals in the process........

Says everything for me, without him we'd go into meltdown at the back and would have big problems IMO

....which looks good for tonight then!

Exactly tonight will be interesting, hopefully they'll have Parkin and Furlong up front so we don't have to deal with pace as I do think that Ifils pace has been the key to our defence over the last 2 years.
Ifil and Aljofree compliment eachother well, but without Ifil I don't think Aljofree anywhere near as good where as Ifil plays just as well alongside Vincent and also Williams last season.

What about Kanyuke? Is he fit enough to play some part?

Bloody hope so. He's starting

And by all accounts he done well - competition for Jerel on Sat then ?

Didn't Aljofree play left back at Plymouth?  :?  

If Kanyuka looks the business, then move Hasney across and play him with Jerel.

Hasn't what and drop Miguel or Vincent.  You're having a laugh aren't you?

It depends how good Kanyuka is though doesn't it?

If he is quality,  then what would your back four be?

I don't think I'd touch the full backs to be honest.  So it's a straight 2 from 3 in the centre half dept.  I think Hasney would have to play, as the "experienced" centre half, so I suppose Ifil or Pat would have to warm the bench.

5-3-2!!!!

Nah man, let's not have a system change.  Tinkering with the formation is a dangerous game.

I think we should play a wingback (comminges) on the right but a classic fullback+winger down the left (vincent+zaboub/mcnamee). That way we free up a player who can do what he wants.

Woot.

It will certaibnly provide some excellent competition at centre back though, who could have imagined a year or so ago that we would have a player that could keep Jerel out of the team ?

FGS... Kanyuka's had one game and now he's being given the freedom of the borough! Let's have some more pudding before we elect him player of the year. If he is as good as first impressions appear and stays relatively injury free it can only be good for the squad to have strength in depth. As it happens it seems that a vacancy crops up every time Maurice gets a potential selection headache. Latest could be Hasney's concussion.

I don't think anyone is giving him hero status, merely stating there there could be some real competition at CB now so it keeps them all on their toes not wanting to lose their spot

Hasney does not have concussion, he needed stitches in a head wound above the eye which is why he went off - I remember Taylor needing stitiches, he went off had it done and came back on, not these days though !

Kanyuka still isnt match fit and i would expect to see hasney and ifil resume their partnership on saturday. However, when Pat is fully fit, Hasney needs a break as he is carrying a few niggles, give him a week or two off and see how the other two play together.

Personally, Pat and Ifil seem to be quite similar, and would both require a solid experienced pro talking them through the game, but it now gives us much better cover and competition as opposed to Blackburn being the third centre half

Ifil can't carry on having an experienced pro talking him through games forever though. The amount of times he's had to clear up after an aljofree mistake this season  i think if the situation happened ifil and kanyuka could definatley play together, if kanyuka is as good as people say he is

i was impressed by how many times he got to the ball when he really didn't look like he should have

is he Jon Gittens mark2? I do hope so
