Bradley update 12.06.18: Signs for Luton

[Quintrell Green]

Remember Reuben Reid?

Who?

It’s got to be frustrating for Managers to lose good players because they are beaten by offers from clubs with deep pockets.
If Sonny goes, he will be missed and DA will have to magic up a replacement.
Sonny is quoted previously for his own lack of success at Crawley, it’s a fickle work place and I’m sure he’s mindful of that.
Argyle has been a good Club for Sonny and Sonny has been good for us.

Tisdale comments about financial constraints make interesting reading, they run a different model but invest hugely in their academy who they sell on to fund the team.

Any time Clubs work on self funding as opposed to Sugar Daddy’s it’s never a level playing field! Or it could be looked upon as great to see players develop and become better footballers- Oscar is a good example.

 

[Monster Green]

We'll be ok. DA will get another CB who'll be better than Sonny. Sonny isn't championship standard, so we'd have to get rid after next season anyway.....

If he is leaving, we will certainly miss his aerial presence in both penalty areas. I’m not sure that he was quite so dominant this season as last. Maybe, his health problem meant that he was not fully fit in the second half of this season.
He will be a hard act to follow but that is what we thought about Nelson and Hartley leaving. Similarly, about Diagouraga in midfield.
DA has secured the services of the front part of our spine (Ryan Taylor). It seems that he may now have to sign a ‘keeper and a centre half to secure the other 2 crucial parts.

100% gone apparently.

What does that actually mean Neil?

100% = total certainty
Gone = left
Apparently = as far as I know.

So “With total certainty (Sonny has) left as far as I know”.

Heard the same from someone close to the player this morning. Improved contract nowhere near other offers.

Same here, Sonny used to live opposite me but he moved out a couple weeks ago, still see a few people he knows though when going to work etc and they said he will not be playing for argyle again unless there is a serious improvement and hes just deciding between the offers on the table, if we see him pre season here i would be amazed.

Judging from social media. Living opposite Sonny Bradley would’ve been the sea.

I love these little mam-bits of ‘information’ from second/third/fourth hand sources. Seriously I do - I’m not knocking them or ‘dis’ing’ those who post them or (God forbid!) saying they shouldn’t be posted but they must be taken with a huge dollop of salt. I mean, this seems a plausible version of events:

Bradley (or whoever) is in the midst of haggling over new contracts – someone he knows (neighbour or friend-of-friend) asks him if he’s staying ( probably the tenth time he’s been asked today) so he responds with a sigh: “Dunno mate, to be honest I’m getting really pee’d off with all the haggling & want it settled and I’d like to stay but I’ve got better offers that are very tempting”

Now this gets repeated by said friend/neighbour as “Bradley is getting really pee’d off with Argyle and says he’s got a much better offer so it seems he’s going”

This gets transcribed as “I’ve heard from a close friend of Bradley he’s almost certainly going because Argyle can’t compete with other offers”

This appears on PASOTI as “Bradley is virtually 100% deffo going according to a close source to him and he’s already left to go up North”.

Nobody lying, nobody even particularly exaggerating but completely misleading.

Rumors are pieces of information or a story that has not been verified. What this means, is that the person telling the story does not know for certain if it is true or not. Most of the time, people who spread rumors do not bother to determine if there is any truth to what they are saying.

Typically, rumors are spread from person to person and can change slightly each time they are told. As a result, they can become exaggerated and altered over time.

Rumours are also rubbish made up by certain individuals.

The best rumours I ever seen was by Fleetwood Mac.

Ahh the old Chinese whispers. It happens in work all the time

Chatting to someone today who also mentioned Bradley had moved out of his apartment on the Hoe and that Doncaster had apparently made him a contract offer.

It must be quite a dilemma!

Has he not just moved out of his apartment and gone back to Hull for the summer...... like he did last summer.

Potentially mate, I was just adding my 2 pence to the thread seeing that I also heard he'd moved out. Could very well be that his 12 month tenancy agreement is up and his landlord wouldn't renew or a number of things. You've gotta love this time of the season as we don't have much else to talk about.

Would be quite depressing losing a really key player to Doncaster.
