Albion Fail on 3 Signings [merged threads]

[cjd]

Another overall shambles from Dick Knight

 

[O Lads]

This is woeful. The midfield was the main area we really needed to strengthen. I was really happy with the signing of Thomson. But McFaul might as well be written off already, couldnt even make the bench on his second game available and is playing in the sussex senior cup!

 

[Da Man Clay]

But presumably this is tomorrow's copy, I don't think this would be up on The Argus site if they didn't have pretty strong reasons to believe that it is over...

Im sure the Argus said something similar and we ended up confirming the signing of Gifton Noel-Williams on loan just after the deadline had passed.

i dont think we will be in a relegation battle either as im sure we will bring someone in one the loan window reopens

 

[O Lads]

And also, Dick Knight has actually made a profit in this window! A massive physcological attempt to try and show the fans we can spend big with Murray and it's worked.

think thats due to lack of match fitness

 

[Stevie Boy]

bollocks, i was hoping we would have got Currie

Clutching at straws

 

[Beach Hut]

Things can only get better

Clutching at straws

Very much so. Means I can cling to the hope that our season might be saved by a winger for another half hour!

Well, I hope you're right.

Only a week til the loan window opens anyway.

This means it is over. You'd do well to get somebody in to brighton, agree a fee, sign a contract and the FA process it in 15 minutes!!!!!

Thing is though, it would only be announced after all that has been done so there could have been a player doing just those things for the last 2 hours, doesn't have to have started just now. obviously I still think its unlikely, but you never know! Most dissapointed about Leven to be honest. but I do think in general our midfield is probably the weakest it has been in quite a few years now.

God I wish we could have Bertin back now!

 

[Da Man Clay]

God I wish we could have Bertin back now!

Or O'Callaghan.

 

[clapham_gull]

Bollocks another transfer window closes with NO SIGNINGS.

 

[saltash seagull]

wonder if there is any out of contract midfielders worth a look at?

 

[Spider]

Or O'Callaghan.

Not with an ego like that. You have to play for the team week in week out, not when it suits you. There's a good reason no other club has signed him.

We have a non-existant midfield. He was quality. Equally he was obviously spot on with what he said.

No I don't think he was, since it's not clear that Hammond was offered a contract at the beginning of the season. Unless my memory escapes me he made a public complaint about contract situations at the club (mainly Savage and Hammond), and in both cases it transpired that the club had offered decent contracts and it was down the the player's personal decisions. O'Callaghan just felt the need to ruin his football career because he has no self-discipline. He could be a good player, I remember asking a few games after he came to us how a player that good could only have made a handful of appearances by the age of 28, and he proved to me exactly why that was. We don't need stirrers at our club.

i was never his greatest fan before he opened his mouth

quality wasn't the word i would use,over playing in dangerous positions isn't the cleverest thing to do

I dont think he went out of his way to go into it, wasn't he asked the reason for poor performance and sited that as one of the reasons? Anyway I think we are worse of without him.
