Would you have Calderon back at the Albion?

[murraymints4brighton]

Now it seems he may be club less with Pardew supposedly (hopefully) getting the sack today. Would you have the Spanish FLAIR minister back at the club? or Will YOU boo him if he manages to get a new team in League One next year?

I personally think he would have signed anyway, especially if he had been given an extra week and Pardew had been given the sack.

 

[Icy Gull]

Gus will be too pig headed and Latin to even consider backing down on this one

 

[The Wizard]

No.

 

[pork pie]

Which party did he vote for?

 

[Mackenzie]

Yes. I doubt it will happen now though.

 

[Mendoza]

I would love him back, but I dont think there is anyway Gus will go back on his word. Calderon missed the deadline, so it is his fault if he ends up neither at Brighton or Southampton. Wish he was with us though, as I ruddy love him maurading down the right wing and walking back if he lost it.

 

[Giraffe]

Yes, yes and yes

 

[murraymints4brighton]

John Byrne made the point that he is ONLY a full back and can be replaced. I would go with that although we cannot underestimate what a good player he is. Once Hoyte was forced to play due to his injury, despite being an Arsenal player he seemed nowhere near the quality of Inigo.

 

[Shanker45]

I think we would struggle to find a better replacement so yes I would although I might be tempted to make him a lower offer!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I would. But Gus is his own man.

 

[supaseagull]

Yes!

 

[bhaexpress]

Yes, he has the right to get the best deal he can like anybody else whatever their profession. He's a decent player who suits the way we play so we'd be silly not to take him back.

 

[clippedgull]

I'd love him back, but at what price?

Gus would be made to look a fool, would always be that uncertainty that he was ready to jump ship at the first opportunity.

Tricky.

On the balance, I would say, let him find another club. There are equal if not better full backs out there.

 

[fire&skill]

Yep. Gus won't let it happen though.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Yes, second chance and all that.

Let's be honest, anyone on hear who has an opportunity of making more money in whatever field with a diferent employer would be silly not to take it. He's human after all.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

To be honest, I don't think that Gus's all or nothing kind of attitude is necessarily a good thing all the time. He has been right in everything he has done with regards to contracts so far, however with a player of Calderon's caliber, you occasionally have to make an exception.

 

[questier]

I would have him back, but Gus seems to be a man of his word

 

[The Wizard]

I wish people would stop harping on about Calderon, he's gone, GET OVER IT.

Good riddance.

I like his no nonsense 'don't f*** with me attitude'. Forster and now Calderon have paid the price. Maybe as a club we have been too forgiving of certain 'star' players and they have taken the piss.

Yes, Gus will make mistakes along the way, but he's a young manager, and as long as we keep progressing under him, let's enjoy the ride.

I wonder if TB had any say on the contract withdrawal? I'm sure Gus must have consulted him at some point.

Good riddance.

Yep, utterly pointless thread
