Virgo says farewell

[Brighton Breezy]

Glad he is off. Will free up some wages for a better player.

How we got £1.5million for him is beyond belief. Why we signed him back is up there with it though...

Yeah, why we signed an experienced lower league centre back for free defies all sane logic.

 

[Mr Burns]

Assuming a deal has already been done and it's for money why would we risk his involvement today having been out of the picture for so long? Suggests to me that no deal has been done but he Poyet wants him to seen to be involved in case someone is interested??

I don't think it will be for money. I think he'll go on a free.

He's probably one of the highest paid players, so getting him off the wage bill would make good sense, if we are looking at bringing in some "proper" players next month. (and that's not a dig at Virgo)

 

[rhys the aldershot fan]

wouldnt mind virgo at aldershot

 

[Seagull73]

wouldnt mind virgo at aldershot

Ah bless. He'd probably take up half your wage budget on his own.

As well as Cox who is reputed to have told everybody in QBA that he is off to Aldershot. I dont go in there so he hasnt told me.

 

[Zebedee]

Virgo is off to Norwich and Cox on loan to Aldershot - so I've heard.

[Storer68]

Off to Aberdeen.

hmmmm .....................Aberdeen .................managed by a certain Mark McGhee...............who has a record here......... last known to have conned/offloaded AV to his mate Gordon Strachan at celtic for £1.5 million........

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He was not my cup of tea but I wish him well.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Would be sad to see Virgo go but if we sign another centre half, as is expected by most of us, then he would be behind Elphick, Tunnicliffe, the new centre half and probably El Abd so can't afford to be fifth choice in his first position. If someone like Norwich or Millwall is really interested and we can get a bit of money, then even better.

 

[Knotty]

Because he left for more money and thought he was a better player than he really is, he was out of his depth going there and he knew it, but still went ahead with the transfer because of his wages. It went pair shaped and thought, I know, I'll go back to Brighton and everything will be hunky dory and it’ll kick start my career.
No Adam, you’ll be road sweeping!

What nonsense!

So, in your opinion, he should have said to Strachan, "Sorry Gordon, I love the idea of being paid far more than I am now, but I'm not good enough, so I'll stay at Brighton."?

Which planet do you live on? It can't be this one.

In there christmas eve apparently.

 

[glasfryn]

I will never forget that last minute equaliser against Swindon!

he will never be forgotten simply for that wonderful goal

 

[B.W.]

He is a good experienced central defender, which we need at least one of... not sure it will be him...

 

[Andrew Lipscombe]

Shame to see him go, he has not been at his best at the back this season. Then who has ? I see that the moaning of some sections of the crowd translates to this site. What a pity, I would like to see any of the moaners do their jobs with people having a go at them all the time. We often wonder why the crowds are small (poor football is one), I have sat in different bits of the South Stand and if I wasn't a loyal fan I would be put off coming. Chin up Virgs if it is the last we see of you good luck in the future. If not head up and play for the fans and your pride.

 

[upthealbion1970]

i can't be bothered to reply to any one specific idiotic post on this thread other than to say i wonder why so many players feel under immense pressure with some of the so called "fans" comments and ideas proposing sweeping the streets ffs!

if you do read this adam, good luck wherever you are off to - i hope you wil get some appreciation for the hard graft you will undoubtedly put in. and thank you.

Not sure what Happened to Virgo, He was on course to be a decent centre back before he was played up front. I know it wasnt his fault but I think thats what ruined him

to cocks like Jamie and others who clearly must have been too young to remember or too stupid to understand football, the above explains alot. at 22 he was potentially one of the best players we had, no one thought he was the finished article and jumped at a £1.5m. why play him up front instead of at the back? because thats what we had to do with our budget and it worked ok for a bit (and it's what Mcghee liked to do). but playing players out of position, unless they are exceptional, usually leads them being average all rounders who get caught out by changes in the squad. when he came back and had neither gained a wealth of the experience and had lost some pace, and naturally had certain expectations following time at a big club. he's struggled to fit in where other players have been better at individual roles at times, and being pushed around into every position under Adams (who will rue that he had already brought in Hawkins and didnt give Virgo a proper run)

good luck to Virgo and I hope we see him fulfill his potential.:albion1:
