Adam Thompson

[Shrimper]

Bury released Bruce too, he signed a month ago

 

[AndyT]

He should have come on loan to us! :smile:

 

[southendkid]

What a waste, was it his agent that convinced him that a move away from us was the best for the lad? Did he leave thinking that he was going to a club that paid and treated him for what he was worth??

I'm sorry but this has got to show that players really don't know what they've got until it's gone.

I don't think Thompson will be having many regrets, if I wasn't a Southend fan I'd be much happier being wanted by Bradford than us!

I'm not surprised the Bury fans are annoyed, Thompson has got the chance to impress at one of the biggest clubs in League 1 and Bradford have got a good quality defender without presumably having to pay all his wages.

Bet he cannot believe his luck. Joins Bury and gets Bradford City...what a result!!!

You serious? He has got a right result.

Why do people rate Thompson on this site.He was a very average squad player,who had one reasonable season.No great shakes !!

 

[Ironshrimper]

Because he was getting better and better, and it was him that made Ferdy legs gone, look good. He is a very good player, much missed for me.

 

[RHB]

The Bury fans board is in a severe state of shock. The latest update from there is that they received 50k loan fee and Bradford are paying his wages

When you concede seven goals in two games like we did against Wigan and Bristol Rovers there has to be repercussions

Lee Clark realises Thompson didn't even play against Bristol Rovers right?

 

[Polish_Blues]

Another nightmare at Bradford, its be all over for him.

He wasn't even in the squad though?

 

[LBBlue]

He wasn't even in the squad though?

Because he is in the Northern Ireland International Squad.

Thompson having a bit of pop at us in the Bradford local paper after making his debut last weekend:

I wasn't pleased that he liked Charlton's twitter feed when he saw they beat us. Pathetic thing to do and I don't really understand why he would do that.

at the end of the day he will get his payback, he will soon fall flat on his face, a drop down the divisions will soon be coming, he needs to play alongside a strong tough centre half or he gets found out:stunned:

 

[Tampa Blue]

I did hear that we were made aware of his availability by Bury but didn't follow it up - which I totally understand though I always rated him very highly.

That may be why he's p***ed with us? His problem though as was his choice to leave.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Hold on, aren't his comments entirely correct?

“Southend used to get in the top six one game and then drop out the next."

That's entirely what happened.

“From what I’ve seen in the last few seasons playing against Bradford, they’ve always had that steel. Southend never really had that."

Again, the lack of 'steel' and consistency, particularly in the final 6-8 weeks of a long, hard season that stretched a relatively small central group of players to breaking point, was a significant reason as to why we couldn't get over the line. Thompson's honed in on probably the key differentiating factor between us and teams like Bradford last year.

Totally agree with this. Didn't read that as a pop at us at all.

 

[Leoblue]

I didn't really read it as a pop either, most of what he said is true......
