Nathan Elder

[Greg_Dyke]

Is he any good, and would he be League 2 standard, by any chance ?

[Brighton Gull]

Sadly he didn't make it at Brighton.

 

But I guess League 2 or below is where he is at.

 

Prolific in our reserves but not really given much of a run in our starting 11.

From vitalfootball.co.uk:-

 

Quote:

Elder on the other hand is likely to be joining either Brentford or Wycombe Wanderers after both sides tabled bids of £25,000. The move is a little surprising considering Elder started yesterday evening against Northampton ahead of Glenn Murray - but his first team opportunities have been scarce in the year he has been with us.

I think Brighton were putting him in the shop window....

[Cherry Blue]

Maybee a loan spell at another league club would help him ?

[Greg_Dyke]

He signed for Brentford today....

[Cherry Blue]

On loan or a permanent move ?

[Greg_Dyke]

permanent move for a rumoured £25,000 fee

[Barry Proudfoot]

Should net us a tidy little sum too

[Greg_Dyke]

10% = £2,500

[Cherry Blue]

£35,000 on the Brighton website

[Keith.P]

It is official on the Brentford website, with the obligitory picture of manager and player together holding shirt. Good luck Nath !!

[Iron Webbo]

Ya can't beat a good sell on clause!

Good luck Nathan

 

I hope Brentford give him more of a chance than he got at Brighton.

Indeed !

I think Nathan has suffered from not getting a run at Brighton and I do wish him all the luck at Brentford.

[Keith.P]

I look at it in this light. Nath sold by BTFC to Brighton = good move for the lad. Does not get much oppotunity at Brighton, but Brentford WOULD have had him watched be it reserves or for those last few minutes that he had been on the pitch for the first team. They obviously like what they see and so thus Nathan gets another good move (imo) where chances to play may well be more encouraging. NO club pays a fee for a player unless they like something about the player.

 

Now in a footballing sense i (personally) believe there is not a lot of difference between league 1 and league 2 either. Afterall we saw Swansea didnt we.

 

Anyway - hope Nath gets a good chance there and does well for them.

If they can stick it on Nathans head, then he'll stick in the the net, add that to his strength and work rate, then he will score loads.

 

I think this is a good move for both Nathan and Brentford.

 

...now where's our cheque.

[Bill of Shenfield]

Good luck to Nathan hope he gets a chance to prove himself.

Nathan scored Brentfords third goal on 85m in their 3-2 win at Mansfield Town today. Not sure if he started, or came on a sub?
