Just thinking about this. The "Transfer List" or being transfer listed as such. Does that still exist/happen? Or is it just a thing of the past now?
Or we’ve put him on the market.
Sometimes players flourish at other clubs, after failing elsewhere.
We've obviously had it ourselves and with David McGoldrick, we had the complete opposite. Known as McGoal Drought at Forest, they couldn't wait to get rid of him.
If BTA goes, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he did really well elsewhere.
He's obviously struggled here and must be bereft of confidence, after having missed a number of great chances lately.
I refuse to say he's crap. It's just not worked for us here and he has been poor as a result.
Remember when everyone said that EMC was a waste of money and of only L1 standard?
Hopefully, if BTA does go, we can replace him with someone who will improve us and will make a much more positive impact at the club

Not really the same I’d imagine, think agents do most the work nowJust thinking about this. The "Transfer List" or being transfer listed as such. Does that still exist/happen? Or is it just a thing of the past now?
I mean, was he not top scorer for a WBA team that finished 5th last season?? I'm not saying he's a good player or that he's anywhere good enough for us atm, but do those stats alone not rubbish this post?Can't believe Blackburn want to sign him. Don't think he's good enough for this league, certainly not for a club chasing promotion.

No it's the counterfeit one WBA actually delivered.Is this the same BTA that most were all over when we were rumoured to be signing him?
What's he good at?BTA is not a bad player
He's just not the player people seem to think he is.
Wasnt it the norm for MR to see potntial in players and buy them in the hope that he could bring the bets out in them? Nowadays we seem to want the finished article, which is fine, but we don't seem to be able to pay them, hence resorting to these recruitment tactics.
Don't know about not happy but he's certainly surplus to requirements when everyone's fit
How often do we have everyone fit to be fair?
Rob Gurney said he was good at WBA plus top scorer. But I did wonder why they did let him go.Can't believe Blackburn want to sign him. Don't think he's good enough for this league, certainly not for a club chasing promotion.
West Brom fans said he works hard but lacks quality and and isn't great at finishing. Which is what we've all seen. He was top scorer for Wet Brom with league goals in 39 games so pretty much a 1 in 4 striker, which is the best he has been in his career.. And those 11 goals came against an xG of 12.7, so under performed against the chances he had.We paid £2Mil up front is my understanding. WBA fans say he works hard which I think we’ve seen it just hasn’t worked for him and don’t think Lampard rates him.
I think much like Simms with a run of games in the right position and some confidence it will come so maybe it’s a shame really.
Part of me think if he was WBAs top scorer last year there must still be a player in there, problem is they say he is awful from 5yrds out but can score Worldies.
Can see Stoke coming in for him.
Last season of his contract, it was sell now or get nothing later.Rob Gurney said he was good at WBA plus top scorer. But I did wonder why they did let him go.
Finished in 5th last season as their top scorer think that makes him more than suitable for this league.Can't believe Blackburn want to sign him. Don't think he's good enough for this league, certainly not for a club chasing promotion.
Yep, this is very much a thing. Clubs also issue out mailings of players that they have available to other clubs. Particularly young players for loan etc.There's actually a software company which a friend of mine used to work for that has a platform where clubs put players available for transfer on I believe. So I think it's still the case. It's called Transfer Room I think.
That's obviously a more modern version of the traditional sense of the term.
He is definitely a nice guy, his character is excellent but that's not the primary quality needed for him to add value to the squad.BTA seems like a good guy, enthusiastic, good work ethic and while never likely to be a prolific goal scorer, definitely capable of putting defenders under pressure and getting into good positions. Probably doesn't fit into our current system which is why he's getting such abuse from some 'fans' on here. But he waved and smiled at my 9 year old son before the Pompey match which made his day so I'll always have a soft spot for him. Either way hope it works out for him.
Just shit at his job unfortunatelyHe is definitely a nice guy, his character is excellent but that's not the primary quality needed for him to add value to the squad.
Like most in the team then simms runs around a bit . Then that's it no pressure on defenceJust shit at his job unfortunately

It may be my memory but i thought his best game was against Blackburn at home …..Weirdly one of the only times I thought he looked decent for us was when he came on and played down the right against Sheff Wed at home in the league game. Barely seen him there since
