So it's all on hold

[Mellotron]

Is a large 'box-to-box' strong midfielder and a larger striker going to be synonymous with the Gus style of play? Spain, Barcelona, Arsenal et al do not have this. It is the way Gus has modelled Brighton to play, with the ball to feet. Not sure adding two strong players would help that cause? Or is it a necessity at Championship level?

Yaya Toure, Ibrahimovic - good feet for big men.

Glenn Murray was a strong, hold-up striker, albeit at League One level, and fitted quite comfortably into the style of play, so I would say with some confidence that a bigger man doesn't necessarily equate to hoof-ball. Unless you're Liverpool of course.

Was just asking the question. Point taken. And yes, Liverpool are a shining example of how to utilise a powerful striker I wonder what Rodgers will do with him...

Abdul Razak minus the attitude would be perfect

Crouch, too.

It was merely a reply to the suggestion that more signings were needed. Is it necessary that these additional players were needed, is all I was asking.

He was saying yesterday I think that he's not averse to him going out on loan. Not quite sure how a lad like Carroll will cope with living and working in a city like Milan, but it could be fun to watch.

Ibrahimovic

I have a feeling we'll get him, this must have been the Inter Milan connection Bozza was talking about.

Beautiful place. My parents have a villa up in Montejaque, little white village about 20 minutes away.

Know it well. I have a town house in Cortes de la Frontera. It's so beautiful up there.

Assulin would do a job.

Assulin would do a job.

He may be a star of the future, but I don't think he'd improve what we already have. Box-to-box midfielder much much more important

It sounds like Leeds are playing silly b*ggers over this - having agreed a deal with Palace they're holding out for more money.

That will teach Palace to announce they have 8,250 STH's

I really really am hoping that was a joke !

Don't forget he speaks Spanish from his time at Barca - stranger things have happened...

Oh. Dear. God! Once the most expensive footballer in the world. Looked dynamite still at the Euro's. Tell me this-who exactly do you think will stump up the £150k per week that he'll expect to be paid?

 

[wehatepalace]

Was delivering to the Amex today, and casually chatting with the chap from azure, he says the rumours around the stadium are that the next signing is going to be MASSIVE !
I know it's still only hearsay but it does show that there certainly seems to be something in the pipeline !

He's getting on a bit though, it could happen. We signed Vicente after all!? Tony Bloom is richer than you think. Plus I heard he's tempted by the facilities of the Martial Art's Centre on Lewes Road as he finds these kinds of facilities well below par in Milan.
