If it's a move away to a bigger club he wants, his social media antics won't help him! Bigger clubs won't want players with attitude issues; I don't remember any controversy surrounding Alefe Santos's social media activity.

The abuse was in response to Ellis effectively saying that he was 'praying' for a move away from the club on his Instagram account. I see no benefit in giving our players abuse, especially at this stage of the season. However, Ellis really does need to stop and think before he posts stuff like that up online! We all know the nature of football these days. A good 6 month run and subsequent move to a bigger/richer club can have huge financial benefits for a player. My brother in law plays a similar level of football for Virton in Belgium and it's the same for him. If any of us were him, we'd be doing the same considering the game time he gets with us. What I wouldn't be doing though, it putting it out there for the world to see!! So, Ellis.... Get out there and show us why you deserve to be playing at a higher level. If you go and do that, you'll be a league player in 2015/16 whether you're with us or not!! If that is his attitude then I think being with the U21's will probably be a bad thing, especially if they start comparing wages, plus he see's his average mate Alfe Santos playing a much higher level.. You can see the post, it was in response to Tyrone Ming's comment about getting into double figures. I believe that Ellis is still on the transfer list, so what is wrong with him hoping for a move, when he's not playing a regular 90 minutes at Rovers? All footballers should have ambition, I think that this season Ellis has knuckled down, and has contributed some very useful goals when called upon. Once again, why are fans getting on the back of one of our players in the build up to a crucial game?  |

Ellis is clearly confident and in decent form right now. If he performs than he may earn a move up the leagues and get a dream move.
He was talking to a mate, one who has had to work his way up. I guess he would want a piece of what his friend has. Wouldn't you?
People should generally ignore footballers on social media. Sometimes they might need pulling up (dickheads like Rio Ferdinand) and Yes sometimes they don't help themselves, but neither do the people who want to twist a conversation between people, because said player hasn't declared unswerving loyalty or some BS

He's not starting, judging by his twitter comment.....something about "same old, same old" I think that comment refers to the fact that he is getting abuse from some of our "fans" via Instagram and FB. No, Ellis posted it before the abuse arrived |

He's also been told several times by Rovers that he is surplus to requirements and free to seek a move elsewhere. So I don't think we can have it both ways; we can't demand loyalty from a player who has not been shown loyalty by the club. |

How is he surplus to requirements if he is a regular on the bench and scoring goals? I think that his (reported) salary may have something to do with it. It's possible that he's in the same category as Steve Mildenhall for example, where he is still playing under the terms of his contract that was negotiated when BRFC was playing in the Football League. Unlike a few others, he was neither shipped out nor had his contract paid up, but was allowed to see-out his contract. That's the reason I believe, that he is still on the transfer list, because despite his fine form from the bench he would surely have been offloaded if only to satisfy Toni Wattola. I know that he signed a three-year deal, but is it up at the end of this season does anyone remember? Whether we are promoted or not Ellis' situation will be very interesting, to see how it all pans out. |

Clubs give no loyalty to players or staff, so why people expect it back is beyond me. At the same time, they should remember that Twitter is a public forum.

It was Instagram not Twitter - you have to be accepted to follow. I read elsewhere he still has a year to run on his contract

I fail to see why he is still here if he wants to leave and we dont want him?
Are we expecting some sort of fee?

but It seems as though it has gone from DC must pick Ellis to Ellis has an attitude problem feck off.
People should leave the f*cker alone and stop trying to read into what is probably nothing but a harmless conversation between two youg footballers, one eho has got a move to a Championship club and one who would probably like one if he keeps his form up

That has the ring of truth to it. But what surprises me is that no other club wanted him back then, even on an initial loan deal. I think that it must have been down to his wages at the outset, but equally I would be surprised if the option was still on the table. |
