What was his shirt number at Posh last season?
Might ask for that number again. I wonder if Ashley Barnes will give up his number nine shirt for Hoskins or CMS?
In all seriousness he will work his socks off for the team. He will set the standards for closing down when the opposition have got the ball. He will make run after run, and if we provide the service - will finish with authority. He will be our talisman. He will convince other players who may have been doubtful that we are the club to join. In short it is a Bloom and Poyet master-bloody-stroke.
This is a complete game changer for Brighton & Hove Albion
The perception of the club from outside will change instantly. The perception by the fans of not being able to compete with the big boys will change. And the future of the club looks incredible.
The fact Tony Bloom has backed Gus in this way, I think will mean Gus stays with us until a Chelsea or someone of that standing comes calling (ie a very long time).
Bloom will not stop until he reaches the promised land of the Premiership and neither will Gus.
It will make the Nigels realise they are the pauper gypsy wankers we all know them to be, gleefully taking our cast-offs as if they've got one over on us, as we much onwards and upwards to far, far better things. Pleasing.
