Brighton to sign Loft

[Brighton Breezy]

In todays Argus Brighton will sign the left sided midfielder from Hastings United.

Another 'one for the future'.

 

[El Turi]

How old is he?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

And what's wrong with that? We need to look short-term AND long-term. It seems he's made a good impression too

 

[Conkers]

Great thats all we need........how about we trial a striker instead!

It's not all we need, but it's another sign that the club are looking to the future as well as struggling to stay up this season.

I really don't see the problem.

Also, I don't know if you remember, but Adam Virgo didn't come through the youth ranks. He was bought by Micky Adams aged 17 (I think). That turned out to be quite a good move

Exactly. He's hardly going to be on huge wages and just look at some of the players we've missed out on before from the local scene (e.g. Paul Ifill).

No harm in this signing in my opinion.

dont get me wrong new signings are a good thing, but we need players who are going to make an impact now, rather than a year down the line, otherwise we're going to be playing Crewe next season.....in league 1

I did not say there was anything wrong with it! According to our guy who does the sport section, which includes reporting on Hastings, Doug Loft is a promising player who, while not being ready for Championship football yet, is worth taking on.

Excellent news. Well done Brighton. He sounds promising and Gillingham will not be the first to have released a decent prospect.

Can we sign someone over the age of 23 and under 29 who has a proven track record.

so you wouldn't sign Rooney if we had the chance?

 

[algie]

Your not getting my point.Doh

 

[Conkers]

Your not getting my point.Doh

dont worry i know what your trying to say and i totally agree with you. it's the same with CKR, yes he is one for the future but was never going to be a 20+ a season striker this season. what we need is someone who has proven themselves a good championship player

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is a shame that most, if not all, of those players will be out of our price range.

Look at teams around us who want one as well. All have the finances to do so..... Milwall/Sheff Wed etc.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I don't think anyone playing for us would be a 20 goal a season striker.

 

[Conkers]

yeh thats our problem! i have faith in MM to find a bargain from some where. perhaps another Currie or Zamora....without spending £100k of course

 

[Wozza]

Oh well, somewhere to put the Xmas decorations etc etc.

[Scoffers]
