Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Leeds United have taken former Newcastle defender Robbie Elliott on trial. The experienced left-back, who has turned down a new 12 month contract at St James' Park, featured in Saturday's 2-1 friendly defeat against Hartlepool. Eliott, who played the full 90 minutes, was not the only trialist on display. Former Celtic youngster Mark Fotheringham also featured against the League Two outfit.

GafferTape 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hope we'll have a decent wedge left after our striker spending to sign a decent left-back. Babayaro and no cover left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Good luck to him - for all the shit that's been thrown his way since he came back to us, he was an exciting prospect in his first stint here. Never was the same after his injury problems at Bolton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Best celebration ever tbh. 164113[/snapback] I was at the game (away to Leicester) when he first did that. Soopafantastic tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggontheTyne 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It makes sense to sell defenders when we have none coming in. Leaves us wafer-thin in the left back position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo 24 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It makes sense to sell defenders when we have none coming in. Leaves us wafer-thin in the left back position. 164210[/snapback] He was 2nd choice, virtually retired and out of contract so what are you moaning about? We've bought one great player with the clear intention that we’re bringing other players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't understand, he was offered a contract here but he's whoring himself round the Championship, resulting in this latest bottom of barrel scraping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what Bergkamp has accepted at Arsenal for the past 5 or 6 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Might just want to play 1st team football. Or if he goes to the Mackems, he could be a double agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 The fact he has been on trial at both Leeds and Sunderland surely is a sign that even as back up he is far from good enough to playing at the level we aim to be playing at. Good luck to him, but hopefully the fact he has knocked back the contract is a blessing in disguise and we will finally sing a decent left back (or is that wishful thinking?)
