    I see Eliasson's new team FC Nimes, have lost again that's 5 on trot (since his arrival) shipping 13 goals but in good news they scored for the first time during those 5 games today in 1-5 defeat.

    Many more have found the grass is not greener unless you have blurred vision. Maynard comes to mind when it comes to Bristol City but as I said there are many more - but who?

    I like Eliasson, he was a nice guy and his dead ball delivery is certainly something that we could do with now, ours is appalling at present.

    Maybe Fam has got it right see your contract out and then shop around, maybe Eliasson pulled the trigger too quickly?

    I believe you are correct, the agent system is corrupt.

    I hope Eliasson comes good wherever he goes - there was undoubtedly a top player in there somewhere, the stats seemed to back it up too. Don't get me wrong he was not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination, but he seemingly had far more potential than some other players that the previous management persisted with week in week out.

    I'm not sure this was the right move for him, but if he had gone to a more suitable club, he was one of those players who you could genuinely imagine being in the Prem if he worked hard and was coached right.

    I have always said and will always firmly believe, that you build your team around your best players, something we have consistently not done, especially under the Johnsons.
