Direct From Gus in Barbados

[Surrey Phil]

If this is true, we'll have Benno, LuaLua, Buckley & Noone and with 2 more strikers allegedly coming does this mean we are going to play with four strikers and four wingers next season? Me thinks not & so this is likely to be bollox!

 

[danwa08]

Interesting. Which Morrison?

i think it was van?

 

[Super Gus!]

maybe im reading this wrong but couldn't it mean benno has been offered 4 x his wages to go to norwich?

 

[Skaville]

A Morrisons? At the back of the South Stand? At least Palace would feel at home.

 

[Seagull27]

There's only one Morrison it could have been.

Thats exactly how I read it. Find it highly doubtful we'd break our wage structure even if it is Benno.

 

[Seagull27]

Thats exactly how I read it. Find it highly doubtful we'd break our wage structure even if it is Benno.

Quadrupling his wages could easily mean 12k-15k. It's not unreasonable to assume he's only on 3-3.5k at the moment.

While we weren't willing to spend that on Murray, Bloom and co might be willing to give out more to arguably our most important player, and one on the right side of 25 with so much potential.

IF it's true that he wants and is willing to stay then I think he would be worth it on those wages. However, I'm not holding out much hope, as I know what I'd do in his situation.

Does Glen Murray have a young, talented footballing son?

While saying nothing about the rumour - If Bennett stays he hardly plays on the wing anymore so would only be 3 and we have a bench + we had 4 strikers last season unless I'm mistaken

 

[Yoda]

From my mate:

"I was under false pretenses. Gutted. Bennett is as good as gone by the way. Not sure if its been announced properly yet "

I can't confirm this but there is talk in Scotland that appears to be gathering momentum that our big name striker may well be Kenny Miller. This one took me by surprise when asked by my uncle on the phone tonight"do Brighton have enough to afford him". My uncle lives in Shettleston, Glasgow by the way and he tells me this is not a wind up. Currently playing in Turkey for Bursaspor, reported to be very unsettled and is looking for an immediate return to our shores. Jury's out as far as I'm concerned but he could still cut the mustard at Championship level. Bursaspor paid £400,000 for him and he has 2 years left on his contract. If correct would you like Gus to sign him ?? (my uncle's company has the contract for internal maintenance at Ibrox) in case you ask

NSC is just about at an all-time low.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Bozza knows me.

Is that Bozza McEnessee? Or Mark Bosnich?

 

[portslade seagull]

Really? I have a friend who is meeting him and the rest of the team today in THIS country for the start of his new job with the Albion.

Sure the Argus said he was away playing in some veterans torno, so he is not over here

 

[slinky]

well all i would like to add is, I saw Gus the day before yesterday, and he was clearly in Sussex...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Welcome to Barbados Football Legends

Chelsea v Arsenal ko 7.00pm (Barbados time) tonight - if I read things right.

Apparently they've invented these big tubular metal boxes with sticky out bits and whooshy jet things that make them go, they fill them with people and the damned things actually fly up into the air. I think they call them aeroplanes, it'll never catch on, looks bloody dangerous!

Gag-tastic! Simply gag-gastic!
