obviously a team can only loan 2 players from the same team, does that suggest mon and sb came to a deal that if you give back elmo you can have 2 others saha/campbell on loan till end of season. any idea
I can't see why Bruce would agree to that unless he intended to buy Elmo. We may need a new striker/centre forward - but Elmo is the main player who would be feeding that striker. There is no way Elmo going back was part of us doing something at this end. We may do something now - but we would have definitely preferred to keep him. Campbell I can't see just being a loan, given that he's out of contract in June - and as for Saha - hasn't he already been released?
We said we wouldn't be buying Elmo this month. Was that just a bit of public negotiation by the club? I do remember thinking Humberside were making a bit much of that 'news', perhaps they were told to do so?
just a suggestion anyway, im prob reading into it to much, but elmo leaving would free up wage cash to pay for a strikers wages, maybe thats why he went, who knows
Wouldn't surprise me - seems Burnsey and Bruce have quite a good relationship - apparently they know each other from when Burnsey worked at Radio Sheffield?
I can't imagine Elmo went back because of our wage structure. Even though we are paying Meyler and Brady more cash (presumably) then when they were loans, we also loaned out a few and Cooper left. This is the same scenario as Meyler. There may be some legal rules in play that don't allow contract/sales to be negotiated unless the player is at the parent club...thus, we are looking to buy Elmo. Optimism is the key to a happy life!
