Yes.

Couple of thoughts:

Macca joined us despite better offers from other clubs.
Macca would know about the bid from Norwich, whether the club told him or not. Instead of brooding about what might have been, he went out and played arguably his best game for us 24 hours later.

To me this shows his utter professionalism and that the club should not be too worried about him having his head turned by another club at the moment.

Do you think Gus used the term "Macca"?

Yes. That's how he refers to him. Listen to GP on Saturday talking to BBC Radio Sussex. "Macca was incredible"
BBC Sport - Burnley 1-3 Brighton

Am I the only one not bothered by this? January transfer window is four months away yet and a lot of things can happen in that time including the Norwich manager being sacked!! Time to chill for a while and sing your heart out for the boys whoever takes the field in the stripes!!!!!!

 

[Icy Gull]

Gus has ALWAYS said if a player wants to move on to further their career he will not stand in their way.

Could be the same agreement as with Bennett again, a deal agreed in January that he will stay with us until the end of the season then move on.

Except he may not want to move on to Championship Norwich when he can stay with Premier League Brighton and Hove Albion

 

[Mutts Nuts]

That from the Argus. This really gets up my nose. If we 'fear' them coming in for him then that means we want to keep him, if we want to keep one of OUR players then surely another team will have to pay a very substantial fee or they won't get him. So where's the fear coming from? Really really annoys me!!!

You don`t get it do you,like the Mail the sun and the star that fcuking shit rag will print any thing to sell a few papers, ignore it don`t buy it

Haven't you listened to Gus's interviews, he's always said Macca, just like he calls Buckley Bocca or something similar.

 

[Triggaaar]

Am I the only one not bothered by this?

No, you're not, I have no interest in it.

 

[Varndean VI Form College]

Great to have such a supportive reporter working for the local rag. So many good journalists out there who'd do a much better job.

Just a thought, would Gus concider CMS to Norwich if Elliot Bennet came back the other way? Bennet must be well down the pecking order at Norwich currently.

Dont think we would need a winger, but if CMS went it would be a striker that would be needed.

I'm sure that the board and Gus would have have an alternative striker in place if CMS went.

I dont really get this obsession with ex-players, I liked Bennet but we have just sold a winger because we had too many, we now have more midfielders than we can fit into a team and subs bench, its a big like the harking back to Murray, CMS and Dobbie are much better players than Murray will ever be, thats why Poyet wasn't willing to pay over the odds for him.

I will be honest I cant remember listening to his interviews for yonks now

Buckers. Incredibly.

Buckers. Incredibly.

It's all foreign to me

Bennett very rarely played as a winger as Gus preferred to play him down the middle behind the strikers. I would be happy to have him back but as part of a deal for CMS.

What is it with quaint little provincial club Norwich City and our players?

you and leeds give your players great apprenticeships

can't see us letting benno go as he's been excellent for us. injured at the moment and we do have loads of midfielders so might struggle to start games this season with so much competition

I am not either. Three thinks will happen. CMS does well, and we insist on keeping him to complete our promotion drive. CMS does not continue and we are out the race, we will sell him and make a financial gain. They don't come back. We really cannot lose.

 

[Captain Sensible]

If CMS has a chance to play in the PL with us then he will stay (unless the club decide to sell). CMS is a very loyal player, just ask Posh fans.
