Nicolas to stay

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The most noticeable effect when Charlie Oatway comes back is that we'll once again start conceding goals from our own short corners.

Good news about Nicolas tho

Why don't you FACE IT, bw2

McGhee on Oatway: "Charlie had a fantastic season last year"

We were in "League One"!... MM is waking up to the fact that Nicolas is better than Oatway, and Oatway won't hack it in the Championship...

to you too!!...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

he had a fantastic season last year? thats news to me

 

[Spicy2]

I agree that Nicolas is the better player of the two and I hope that we can successfully sign him.

Are you feeling like a lone voice in the wolderness, LI?...

Most sane people realise that Charlie just ain't good enough for this div...

"Charlie had a fantastic season last year when he returned from his injury. He has trained hard and has got himself fit. He looks sharp and he looks a better footballer now. Alexis looks as if he could be a good player to put alongside Charlie and maybe he will eventually replace Charlie in a couple of years."

Are you calling our great manager insane, then bw2?

You do tie yourself in knots with this hilarious, yet pathetic, vendetta against a great club servant, don't you?

Lonely? Tell you what - you stick together with your little anti-Oatway chums, and I'll stick with the big guy.

Maybe he's the new Jeff Minton!

Evryone on here is behind MM and what he is doing for the Club in general,but when it comes to talking about Charlie,no one wants to believe what MM says about him.

So take a look at yourselves people and stop doubting the Managers word,after all,you all keep saying he knows the score and would only have decent players in the side,and in the next breath you are slating him for calling Charlie a decent player??

Where are you all coming from?

I do and I am with LI on this one. I like Charlie and those who cannot remember how Charlie dealt with the likes of Paul Merson and Sammy Igoe in recent matches (division one and division two) need to watch their games more carefully in future.

Horses for courses. Alexis is a very good player and I would select him nearly every time but sometimes a player needs to be a spoiler, a man marker and that is Charlie's role. It's one he does very well.

Interestingly, there appear to be more NSC posts relating to Charlie than any other Brighton player. If nothing else, he does seem to encourage a healthy debate.

Spot On! If people can't see why Charlie Oatway is a useful team member then I don't think they've been watching the games carefully enough!

OK, LI... cast your mind back to last time we were in this division... Charlie's performances were simply not good enough... Coppell signed Rodger, Sidwell... Charlie quite rightly got dropped...

What makes you think Oatway is good enough now, LI?... his "outstanding" performance at Reading before he got injured?...

And why do you think MM is looking to sign Nicolas?...

I'll tell you why... because MM now knows that Nicolas is a better player than Oatway... stop wheeling out a quote by MM that was made before he could properly assess Nicolas...

Your arguments just don't hold water...

And this is not a vendetta... just a VERY commonly held opinion...

I guess we will have to agree to disagree...

I am pretty certain that Nicolas will play more games than Oatway this season if MM gets his man...

PS. I very much support and respect MM, but he has made self-confessed mistakes in the past... if he plays CO over AN, then I will see this as another mistake... of course, that is just my opinion...
