Bobby coming back?

[Gazwag]

What has been clear since BZ left is what we already knew - when he was in our team and we creatd loads of chances he scored loads of goals and missed many more. When he played for us in DIV 1 he looked much less impressive, he looked even worse in the Premiership and not great with West Ham, simply because in Prem and Div 1 you need to score a higher % of your chances as you don't get as many. BZ has not increased that % and needs to work very hard to do so - he must forget the hype of him being the next England U21 star and get down to earth and work on his touch and form.

The magic words are "We created loads of chances" we need the people to create those chances before we need another striker. After Tuesdays game when I can only remember one shot on target, we could have the best striker in the league but if the service isn't there he ain't gonna score

 

[Parson Henry]

1) Of course, he's a good player ain't he?

2) More importantly, why would he come here, we (a) can't afford him, and (b) don't even need him with 5 centre forwards at the club all of Div 1 quality!

Probably because he is a lot better than your Div 1 quality forwards..just a thought.
In addition he linked up well with Brooker.

Agree - without a midfield to provide there is no chance. But it is also true that BZ was very strong at holding the ball with his back to goal as a way out of defence, then laying it back to the midfield as they started to comne out - I think this was his most important contribution at times and we need that very much now.

 

[n1 gull]

gazwag - totally agree.
We need to sort the creative side of the team out, whist we're at it the defence has leaked 5 in two games, apart from that we're laughing

He links up well with a player who is 3rd in the pecking order for a place on our wings.

Zamora isn't as good as Forster no way. Might be as good as Kitson but since he was with Brighton he has been appalling. Goater, Owusu, and Morgan are good enough for Division 1 and remain the players on the fringes of the first team. Zamora would expect first-team football and we can't guarantee him that, so on his wages I expect it'd be a waste of money.

Just spoken to a West Ham who works here.

Apparently the rumour is now on teletext that Sir Bob is maybe on his way.

But he beats up your ball boys

That was SOOO funny.

 

[Wilts]

To be fair if he'd hammer a few of our stewards I wouldn't step in his way.

 

[Bobby's Gull]

I want this rumour to be sooooooo true, not getting my hopes up though.

There was a time when he was better but he doesn't appear to be any more. A manager who liked him is in charge at WHU and he is dropping down the pecking order faster than a whore's drawers. He was a great player for us but I think he will be forever regretting his move away from Brighton-his career is not going in the direction his agent and Glennda told him it would...

To be honest, I'm not even sure I'd like to see him back with us-he let us down in the last quarter of his final season. His mind was definitely elsewhere and who knows, with a bit more effort on his part we might never have gone down. Besides, as the saying goes "You can never go back" and I think this is true for BZ. It didn't work for Peter Ward and I'm sure there are dozens of examples from other clubs where fans' favourites return, only for it all to turn sour pretty quickly.

*gets asbestos suit and waits for the flaming*

 

[Marshy]

You he aint coming back

 

[Hungry Joe.]

My head tells me you're right Bwian but my heart still wants him back.

Tend to agree (see my post earlier on this thread, but I'd rather have him here on Saturday than play 1 up front

West Ham after Readings Harper apparently according to their boards. Only has a year left on his deal.

Its another Brighton / Reading / West Ham merry go round..

Hope we come up on top this time...

 

[Hungry Joe.]

You can't call someone a for that. How do you know for sure? Only Bobby himself really knows whether if given the chance he'd come back or not.

If I were Brighton I'd pray that Pardew doesn't go against his word and buy any Reading players.

 

[BensGrandad]

Accordinmg to tonights Arguis MM doesn't see any imminent changes to the personnel at the club but is still working on it.

Pray why?

N by the way Forster better than Bob...

"I believe our groups are already united. I've also advised Ronnie (San Juan Representative Ronaldo Zamora's nickname) to unite with us,"

I've found this on google - lastest rumour - as I see it is he's going to Man Utd to link up with Ronaldo, but maybe I'm wrong, you know how these rumours get misinterpreted
