Brighton & Hove Albion have joined the hunt for Crystal Palace's unwanted striker Neil Shipperley.

The 30-year-old has been told he can leave Selhurst Park after learning he is not in Iain Dowie's plans for next season.

Shipperley was stunned to discover he can move on and has now started the search for a new club.

The experienced front man is hoping to stay in The Championship and there are believed to be four clubs on his trail.

Reports claim that Burnley, Plymouth Argyle and Sheffield United have all discussed a possible deal for Shipperley.

But Brighton could nip in and snatch Shipperley from their arch-rivals, with Seagulls boss Mark McGhee looking to pep up his attack.

A move to The Withdean Stadium would allow Shipperley to stay near the capital and he will hope McGhee follows through with his interest.

At first sight it looks like it could be a good idea to go for him. He'll certainly be fired up to show Dowie he's got something to offer. On the other hand, I saw something about him being off form and not really trying. And that's before we even discuss his salary demands.

 

[Scotty Mac]

would be a good adition, but is he the target man we have been looking for?

 

[king Wombat]

yes.

 

[bhaexpress]

I've been saying Shipperly for some time.

 

[Ernest]

No chance as Dick Tight has wasted the money on some kid instead of spending it on a proven goal scorer

 

[king Wombat]

did you know that there are only 4 types of flying llamas left in the world.

 

[Everest]

And Ward was?

And Zamora was?

 

[Turkey]

would be a good adition, but is he the target man we have been looking for?

I reckon so. Think he could be a good addition. He has something to prove now after being snubbed by Dowie. Plus, would he be an automatic starter at Burnely/Plymouth/Sheffield? He said in the paper he wants first team football. I think, provided we have the cash, he'd favour a move to us.

 

[bhaexpress]

I reckon we can afford him, we haven't done badly with Palarse rejects in the past and unlike Jolly Shipperly isn't injury prone

 

[dougdeep]

What about Mulryne, he can play on the left.

Quite FAT though.

If we are still after another striker, he could be good as he's experienced unlike the other SIX!

 

[DannyBhoy]

would be a good addition in my eyes

good man to have in and around the box

and a target man!

mcghee seems to do quite well getting the porkies a bit fitter.

butters for example.



bring in the pie eaters, MM will turn em into lettuce munchers.

 

[Icy Gull]

Probably be a good signing but he is scum, at least Rodger was a local lad who was a Brighton fan. Can't get excited although I can see he could do a job.

My sentiments exactly. And if he doesn't initally do well, people would get on his back very quickly because of his connection with the Scum. A bit of a risk.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yes take him, he is a good player at this level

Maybe it was Race's cooking that did it!

 

[Loft23]

We haven't blown all our money on CKR and McGhee has budgeted for another target man so why not Shipperley? Who cares about the Palace connection?
