    Good luck to him, but I really don't understand how he'd do anything in the Premiership really.

    He wasn't training with the 1st team when I waked past the training ground half an hour ago.
    Did you check the canteen?

    Just saw Rob at the gym down the road with some other players. Sparrows Lane gym is out of action.

    Then he can't be going anywhere ? If a deal was being finalised he wouldn't be anywhere near a gym today.

    Look stop all this pie based japery please!

    I cracked one off (a pie based gag!) a couple of weeks ago and started a weekends worth of civil unrest from the Robbies Not A Porker brigade. Look at the mess that got us in...

    Or his agent is sorting things out and he will fly up when required.

    Or as suggested earlier this deal was done a couple of weeks ago and has been held up by Hamer's injury.

    CP has confirmed that Newcastle are in for Elliot but no official bid has come in yet and nothing has been agreed.

    Had to happen (too many keepers) and the squad number also hinted that is was inevitable. It makes solid financial sense and could help us strengthen the squad in other areas..in terms of GK's we've got it covered!

    Can't blame him for moving on up, he's doing what is best for his career.  Anyone else would too.

    He has served us well; helped get us off to a flying start this season and is 'one of us'.

    Good luck, Robbie.

    Not sure it's the best for his career though - will depend if he can make it to the first team. I have a feeling that he may regret in a season or two. His bank manager will be happy though.

    would be happy to see him go , only if we get at least £1 million and add on fees

    Cant see us getting £1 million for a league 1 keeper in the final year
    of his contract.  I reckon 600k maximum.  Given powell's dealings in the
    transfer market this summer that could still get us a couple of decent
    players!

    If a deal can be agreed, it might be favourable to us for Elliot to play his last game in a CAFC shirt this Saturday and make the team change for the LC game against Reading. Pardew said in his press conference that Harper would be on the bench for Saturday's game against Sunderland with Krul in goal, so maybe this will be finalised after that.

    Pardew in the interview says that the keeper who joins next will be number 3 there behind Harper and Krul

    Which smacks me even more that Elliot is moving for money reasons, won't even be on the bench.

    Id sit on approx 10k a week to play in the reserves of a premiership club.

    Might be just me but I can see this ending up in 2 weeks time with us still having 3 keepers on our books...

    Pardew has admitted so many bids this summer for players, and the only one I can remember coming off is Obertan.

    We all know to take everything he says with a pinch/truckload of salt.

    *Generic I'll believe it when it's on the OS comment*

    The Geordie fans up here tell me that Harper has a dodgy knee injury and this makes him unreliable which is the reason for another keeper. Harper is also involved with coaching apparently so Elliot will have a good chance to challenge for the No.1 jersey.

    I don't have a problem with this at all Rob is one of us and always will be. He's a decent lad and like all pro footballers has no way of knowing whether his career could be cut short by serious injury. Therefore if he was my son I would say 'fill your boots lad and make your money whilst you can'.

    if he is going in as number 3 then i'd suggest its looking more and more likely that he's been pushed rather than jumped as i wouldn't have thought that a number 3's money at a prem club would be better than a nr.1 at a league 1 club looking to go places

    Think Rob knows that this is his big chance of playing in the premiership. Starts seasons well but finishes really badly. If he lost his spot this year, he wouldn't get it back.
