Dickinson to Peterborough - Any truth??

[S'hampton Seagull]

It probably means Daniel Fonseca is coming out of retirement.

What is Alvaro Recoba up to these days?

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I see Craig Maskell (spelling?) still plays none league! Could "do a job" with Hart upfront. He scored 13 goals in one season towards then end of the Goldstone gays.

 

[clarkey]

might make a good winger out of him. he has got no desire to get in the box. Time and time again great balls flash across the penalty area 6/8/10 yards out and he is always ambling outside the penalty box. If he does a good forward pass, he just stands there and admires it

He is however, a remarkably good citizen who helps any big titted lady in distress

Massively agree. The amount of chances he gets is pretty poor for a striker, but remember the balls he whipped in from the right at Orient, very good deliveries. But seeing as how dribbling doesnt seem to be his greatest attribute then not sure about that one either.

 

[chinners]

Do we actually want to stay up because we keep getting rid of decent fringe player who could make a different in the business end of the season

 

[chinners]

sorry its in capitals im just annoyed

 

[Aspinal's Body Double]

Dicko didn't play Saturday sonif gus was unhappy he probably agreed in the hope he would start?

Fair point. I'm struggling to see what else explains it. I really don't see this as anything to do with getting someone else in. We would get someone in, and then loan Dickenson out not the other way round. Don't really think Forster situation would explain it either.

Let's face it, this has come out of the blue and has happened very suddenly. Bust up still seems most likely explanation to me.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

What is he then? Because he's not good at ball to feet either?

He's a languid striker. When things are going well, he'd be a quality player. I don't think he's the type we need, he always seemed a luxury player to me and certainly not my type of player but I do think he's a good player. We never saw the best of him, but maybe that's largely because he only played in a struggling side here, and the fact that we signed ANOTHER player who was used to life up north. It doesn't do you any favours when you're signing people who then have to radically change their lifestyle when they join your club. He hadn't played for Derby, but we paid a large amount for him anyway. It was doomed from the start, in my opinion, because he's not the type of player we needed.

He doesn't lack ability in my opinion, but maybe he does lack commitment and desire for the cause.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I never rated Dickinson from the first time I saw him play.

No real problem with this loan move.

IF, and only IF either Nicky Forster is put back in the squad or we sign someone else.

Having Gary Hart as our goal threat off the bench is a worrying thought...

The same players who have failed us so spectacularly this season

 

[clarkey]

Argus article now online with Gus saying he will "probably" be looking at a loan

 

[Mellotron]

Hmm. Probably is not good enough for me, with the Forster situation apparently "still the same".

Erk.

 

[sten_super]

Sounds to me like Poyet knew that Dickinson wasn't in his long term plans and then got a good offer for him from Peterborough. I'm sure he will now look to the loan market but he probably doesn't want to make it too obvious that he's desperate otherwise prices may increase.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I really don't know what to make of this..
I reckon we need another striker in on loan, regardless of whether the Forster situation is resolved. Just look at last season when Muzza and Foz both got injured. We aren't exactly going to be able to rely on OGH and Holroyd up top if this happens again are we? Does anyone know what the situation is regarding recalling players by the way?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

With Dickenson gone, Livermore gone, Davies gone, Tunnicliffe gone, McLard gone, Wright gone (am I forgetting anyone) we have reduced the wage bill considerably.

We MUST be getting a decent striker on loan - and quick.

With the ridiculous Forster situation remaining unresolved, a strike force of Murray and Holroyd is sleepwalking us to League 2.

Whilst I am no great lover of either Dickenson or Davies, IMO both are better options coming off the bench than OGH.

WTF happens if Murray gets injured?

I only hope Gus is going to surprise us with someone decent before Saturday.

Not good. Not good at all.

 

[The Large One]

Would anyone want the free agent that is Lloyd Owusu back?

 

[Turkey]

Would anyone want the free agent that is Lloyd Owusu back?

Would be an improvement on Dickinson but can't see it happening tbh.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I'd have Owusu back like a shot.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Well all of you mugs who said he is SHIT the whole time when he is infact QUALITY, why are you bothered he has gone!?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Well all of you mugs who said he is SHIT the whole time when he is infact QUALITY, why are you bothered he has gone!?

Because we have Murray, an unhappy 36 year old that isn't available for whatever reason, an unproven non-league striker, and a 30+ year old striker who hasn't scored for years?
Silly question really.

 

[Husty]

Poyet 'probably' looking at a loan I realise that he wants and we need a condensed squad but FOR f*** SAKE we have GARY f***ing HART as our option off the bench? WE NEED GOALS NOT EFFORT
