Edmundo out, Edmundo out................ :D

Will we get to read it before Leroy goes though? :D

The interview does nothing to change the story, Leroy says Black wasnt quite fit and wanted to train first, so he wouldnt have been available last saturday, so basically they decided against Black. He omits to say so I blew the money instead. He had other options last Saturday, not great ones, but comparable to what he has signed but gambled instead.

Then when asked with regards to Joe playing on the left says he wishes he had someone else to play there! So why sign a forward when your midfield could do with a minimum of 2 additional players!

Because the guy has not got a clue!!! Can't really understand why he is still here and today's interview just confirmed to me that he is out of his depth.

As you say he wasted money on the clown from Swindon, rather than wait for Black, says it all:rolleyes:

The budget must have already be blown as i cannot see how the donkey from Swindon would have cost the same as Black!

So how was LR going to pay Black!
:nono:

I agree entirely, Jo must stay in the middle, no one else has a clue how to score, and now it looks like he is out for Saturday God help us!
I know it is difficult circumstances for Leroy to manage in but I was not convinced at all by his comments in the interview, and taking your only goalscorer out of the danger area is lunacy in my view!

Spot on. How he can move his only goalscorer out of the middle defies logic,
I know he has a difficult job but moving Kuffor out of the middle is mad!!!!

Well if he didnt have the budget to begin with, why bother going to watch Black. I assume he hoped cup money would cover Blacks wages, he would have his forward from Swindon and then would add Simon Cox, when fit again, as some are suggesting we were paying very little of his wages.

Bottom line is Black would have added far more to the squad than an unproven forward who was struggling to get into Swindons team! Ask Gillingham what he did for them at the end of last season.

We have enough unproven goalscorers but right now we dont have a midfield or anything creative coming out of it!

Started for Bradford today and was subbed before halftime and booed of by some, although others are unhappy about this. Apparently he didnt look fit. Seems he has gone to a club in as much turmoil as us. On one of their message boards they have a thread going back to December 2005 wanting Todd out!
 

Tommy Black

so he got subbed in his first game after 37 minutes and was an unused sub in his 2nd, maybe Leroy got this one correct
 

Tommy Black

Now that Bradford have got him fit, and his loan has finished, I wonder if Tommy Black will finally come to Brentford?

If you read the link, it's up to the player whether he wants to be away from the family for another month.

A sort of in-joke. Sorry. We seemed to have nearly signed him so many times including last season when it was nailed on that he was joining the next day - as reported here - but didn't.

No worry ! I thought that the Board for once showed some common sense in not letting a lame duck manager in LR splurge a bundle on a half fit player who would hardly have been able to play more than a match or two during his loan spell.

I am happy to keep my memories of the young lithe skilful Tommy Black who tore us apart when playing on loan for Bristol City at GP on that Boxing Day (or Xmas anyway) six years or so ago.

If he had joined us - or did now I think it would be a complete let down as our idol would probably be found to possess feet of clay.

BTW all best wishes for a quick and speedy recovery.

Absolutely right........better to save the monies for a lame duck manager in Fitz to splurge a bundle on a quarter fit player like Shipperley who......hang on I need to think this through........
