Gus Poyet is magic, he wears a magic hat, and when he saw The chammpionship, he said he's having that.

I have it on good authority that Bobby Charlton wants to make a comeback. He played at The Goldstone as player manager for Preston - I was there and he was pretty poor - and he wants to make amends to show his true talent in front of the Brighton fans by showing his true talent at The Amex. Probably a better bet than Michael Owen who would be injured- at least we could put Bobby up front as a goal hanger to make up the numbers.
You havn`t answered my qustion ,what is it that Qwen could offer us?

Think you mean Gwen. Changing his name to Gwen would give us world wide publicity.

Ok, as i said earlier IF and that is a big if, he still has the desire and proves his fitness he would be an fantastic signing. You question the fact he has not played much, well being behind Rooney, Hernandes(spelt wrong im sure) and Berbatov(top prem scorer) in the pecking order at Old Trafford does not mean he is spent. They are three world class strikers. What could he bring to us you ask, well not so long ago he was regarded by many as one of the best strikers in the world. Yes injuries and age have taken there toll a bit. But I say again, IF he is fit to play, a Michael Owen at 75% would still fill his boots and murder defences in the championship....So the answer to you question is very simple, 25 goals +.....will that do?

This is not a dig at Barnes, but if Owen had the chances he has had this season he would have over 40 goals. That said Barnes has done very well for his age and experence and can only get better. Not sure if he is up to championship level though, his first touch is not great and you get half a second less in the championship.
If fit, and he has been for most of this season, the problem has been that Man Utd have three strikers much better than him, he would rip the Championship to shreds, I have no doubt about that. Not that I think he'll be coming.

I would prefer us to sign Macheda. I have heard he has a problem with his ego but a talented hungry player that Gus can put back on the right track would be better than a has been who is injured too often.

Cannot believe we are suggesting signing players from Man United. Christ we only won league one 
Although apparently Beckham is joining from LA Galaxy.

Could it be a Murray for Owen swap?

The point is he is no longer worthy of starting week in week out for the champions of England and European Cup finalists. I reckon he could probably do a job for a newly promoted Division 2 side, don't you?
£40k a week, no. Sign him up on a pay as you score basis.

If it was Owen, it would only be because of personal connections with Bloom and no other reason, he could easily get into prem clubs like Sunderland or Blackburn and most established Championship clubs like Forest, Leeds would prob take him and be a more sure proposition than a just promoted League 1 team.
It would be a massive coup/statement of intent and would attract other higher calibre players.... but it is pure fantasy to suggest he would choose us over others for footballing reasons. It would only be because of personal connections

It has happened before when Bobby Smith signed straight from first division Spurs to join us in the fourth division. The class of players that followed the Smith signing was way above the fourth division and it proved to be a great success for the club. We walked the divison and the whole interest in the Albion just went through the roof. Could it happen again?

Bit didnt Smith sign because a local bookie waved his gambeling debts??......

Stop bloody moaning!
Think it might have been because he was promised a job managing the club.
