Just had a thought the other day on the value of the Albion squad after Parkinson's comments on how we've splashed the cash. Now I know transfer fees don't take into account wages and signing on fees (these are usually pure speculation anyway). However if you look at the free Albion players who probably had decent signing on fees you'd say: Ankergren, Calderon (2nd time), Sparrow and Kishishev. Likewise, you'd speculate that Gary Doherty, Christia Dailly, Kyel Reid probably also commanded decent fees and wages to sign.

I must say I found Parkinson's pre match comments about us splashing the cash quite disrespectful (especially to Gus). However I found his post game comments even more distasteful:
"If you analyise the goals today were they from Brighton's great football? No. Were they from basic errors from us? Yes they were."
What a load of rubbish, Charlton were outwitted and outplayed by a brilliant manager and a great team. So show some bloody dignity and respect Mr Parkinson!
Rant over!
