I was under the impression he is an attacking midfielder, keen to get forward and score goals. Perhaps he is limited in doing the aforementioned due to how high the full backs play at the moment? He was totally non-existent against Sheffield Wednesday.
I do not live in Bangkok no, please do not take too much time in deciphering the location of my alias 'murraymints4brighton' as they are terribly out of date. I have had a season ticket for a good while now and can appreciate the bad times and good. Please do not patronise me. I am not...
I really am growing sick and tired of hearing people regurgitate the same ' be thankful it could be/was worse' mantra. Every single Albion fan is appreciative of the dire straights we progressed through in order to be where we are now yet we are very much in the 'now' and that involves...
If Chicksen was able to play with his right foot I would feel confident with the back four. With Chris O'Grady (still doesn't sound right) upfront Im pretty sure a draw is likely.
Anybody underwhelmed by the prospect of Adam Clayton joining us are seriously not aware of what a top player he is. I have a friend who is a ST holder at Huddersfield and he regularly states he is their best player and would be able to compete in the Premier League. He is definitely the most...
The worrying thing for me is I didn't even know the game was on. In seasons gone by I would be first in the line for games, eager to see what team we have for the season. I still have a season ticket for this season, like I have done for a good few years now, but I have never felt so deflated...
Nope but have no fear! We have Chris O'Grady and will await the loan signings of Premier League experienced strikers such as Stern John, Henri Camara and Shefki Kuqi.
Ankergren is a top keeper at number 2. It is seriously difficult to come into a team for one game every now and then as a goalkeeper and not be nervous or uncomfortable in that position. We also forget that in the League One winning team he kept a large number of clean sheets and made some top...
I would have to disagree. Build from the back. We need a goalkeeper and left back urgently. A striker is critical, yet I would imagine that is the most likely transfer to take time seeing as Ulloa was only sold last week and (I REALLY HOPE) the extra cash will have meant we are shopping in a...
You raise a key point with regards to injuries. We are also forgetting that Lua Lua, Buckley, CMS and Crofts spend a large majority of the football season in the treatment room. The latter two were unlucky with serious injuries, yet two of our three wingers have consistently spent most of the...
I honestly think you are in the minority there. Looking at what people are posting on here I genuinely believe people are expecting us to challenge whether we make signings or not. Factor in also that NSC only represents a minority of those fans that watch games at the Amex, you have a large...
The most frustrating thing for me is that those people seeing things through 'blue tinted glasses' will still fully expect the current crop of players to challenge at the top.
We are woefully short of players at present. Yes, that could all change with six new signings in two weeks but a large proportion of NSC will more than likely forget that even if those signings are announced, they will all have been lacking a pre-season to settle in. I simply do not understand...
We are aiming for the Premiership? Last time I checked that was the plan anyway, so the people on this thread who have criticised the proposed transfer are not 'moaning', they are stating a quite obvious point that a striker who is clearly not good enough for the top division, is being signed to...
To be honest neither of them have looked the complete footballer for a while now. I would agree I'd rather have Lua Lua than Buckley, as coming off the bench he has the ability to stretch the game and relieve the pressure off our back four. Added to that Buckley doesn't seem to have any...
He was always gone from the moment Leicester indicated interest. That we can cope with. It's how the club react in the next 2 weeks, with a more than healthy transfer fund, that will shape our season.
Indeed. I really do feel as if people are almost blindly backing the club on their transfer policies, when on the face of it we have signed one player and we kick off our season in less than one month. I can't help thinking something is up with our recruitment process, not based on the lack of...
