Thu Nov 14, 2013 3:15 pm

What the hell is going on with him,wasn't overly impressed when we signed him as superkev is better than him,but he hasn't got anywhere near the matchday squads and has got no chance now with theopile -catherine in the slot,has he even played for the development team,wouldn't suprise me if he goes out on loan in jan.

I think we got him just for the sake of it

He was probably a back up for the back up

very very strange,linked many times,then signed him,then he is 3rd choice without even making the 1st team

Absolute waste of money especially considering we wouldnt go that extra mile for Monero

Played for development a few times, played today I believe?

He could be carrying a secret injury/illness. Or maybe Moody wasn't as thorough with his dossier.

He has been made a mug.

Malky has hyped him up a lot before signing him and was all on his radar, Brayford.

I do hope he is ahead of Connolly in MM's list.

We have to many players out of the squad who are mostly lilkely on very good wages, its something that should be address IMO.

It's weird this one a bit like Velikonja - why pay so much money if he is backup? Aside from that he is an excellent player, better than Super Kev though, if you look at his record he won player of the year a few times with different clubs.

Maybe he was thrust onto Malky like any of the other bad signings Malky has made.

I thought Brayford was a great signing when we got him because of his versatility, pace and previous accolades. However, I haven't been impressed with him at all, especially at West Ham. To me, it seems he has an attitude problem and is sulking. Time to loan him out for regular games back in the Championship to get his match fitness and confidence up. Hopefully he will come back to us happier and start pushing for a place.

People won't have that though will they?

Velikonja wasn't his signing but Kenny Miller was. 750k and 25k a week. WTFF? Then to go on a free transfer the season after. Unbelievable.

Brayford proved himself as a very good player at Derby.

He just hasn't settled yet and has a top quality player ahead of him in Cathy.

Kenny Millar was sold for £563,000, so your argument is somewhat flawed. Admittedly £25k per week was way too much however.

Even Connally started the season ahead of him though.

No he wasn't.

Officially undisclosed fee. If you really think Vancouver Whitecaps paid a fee for Miller and gave him a contract that helped him decide to leave the 25k a week contract he had at Cardiff then I think you are wrong. Either way we lost a shit load of dose on poor return.

Probably was a signing imposed on Malky though.

Officially undisclosed fee. So we got a fee for him meaning we didn't let him go for free. I thought we got decent value for him overall. We didn't make a huge loss and we got a good season out of him where he ran his guts out for us with very little service. His goal against England a few months ago shows the quality he still has. He would have been even better last season with better players around him but it did make sense to free up the 25k a week he was on to strengthen in other areas.
