Apparently we're signing Chris Birchall

[drew]

will be better than playing in America, which is more county league standard, is he any good though?

So, which county league teams around here can boast quality like David Beckham even if he is past his best?

Also, the US season doesn't start till April so we could have him for a few months.

Doesn't look very Trinidadian though!! Thought he would be black with dreadlocks!

His mother was born and grew up there, moving to England in her teens.

That's his connection.

The way I see it...

ANY midfielder NOT currently playing for Brighton would struggle to be worse than the p1ss-awful shower currently on our books, with the POSSIBLE exception of Livermore (needs time to prove himself in that position), Cox (can do it, but hans'nt been), and McLeod (always injured but would be good if could stay fit)...

El-Abd is NOT a midfielder...
Virgs is NOT a midfielder...

Fraser is NOT good enough...
Robinson is NOT good enough, as a winger...

Love the way their gaffer whinges on, and then says it means nothing to him

.

 

[glasfryn]

I'm sure this is the guy I watched in the world cup games if so would be a great signing, a very busy player and young.

go get him MA

 

[brighton_tom]

this has been going on for a quite a while now. we've been linked with him the last few transfer windows. a good player though from what i've seen.

but would much rather we keep thornton.

On trial for the week, with view to a permanant deal

So we are just preparing him for his move to the states then

 

[theonesmith]

is in the argus now. He was the first white plater to play for T & T in 60 years

Is he an albino?

Apparntly he is in Brighton on trial.

Yayness - he was my fave player from the 2006 world cup!

I suggested this on another thread last week when I saw that he had left Carlisle and asked if MA, his old manager would be interested and was told No he is off to USA.

It seems San Jose put in a lucrative offer for him, that is why Carlisle thought he was leaving, but we have taken him on trial as well with a view to a permanent deal. Think the USA thing is still on the cards with it being closer to T and T and all, but Adams could be the clincher for us.

 

[HseagullsH]

I don't know anything about him but it's good to see we are looking to add height to the team, after Micky blaming our lack of height for one of our losses....

.. Oh:thud:

 

[strings]

It is on the official site now - he may be playing for the reserves later this week.

Long term replacement for Chamberlain i heard

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

he had a STORMER against england in the world cup i seem to recall

 

[bristolseagull]

same thing I was thinking ... don't get me wrong a fantastic interest but not the answer to any of the questions we are really asking?

what the f*** are you talking about? a decent midfielder is just what we need, f***ing hell some people are never happy.
