Ben Marshall

[Baldseagull]

DB7 was one of the most technically gifted players of the last 30 years. The man could drop a ball on someone's toe from 60 yards. This skill made him worthy of a place on the wing for the two biggest clubs in the world.

What's that proving r.e. Conway? He has nothing to his game beyond cutting inside and looping a cross straight onto a defender's head. No skill, no pace, no tricks, no goal threat = pointless as a winger.

I think you would have seen Conways worth if he had stayed, he got decent crosses in and I am certain he would have put plenty of balls onto Ulloa's head.

I rated Conway, hardly ever gave the ball away, was strong and had a good delivery. Finishing wasn't bad either, picking up a love pass from Spanish Dave to bang home against Leicester. I'm happy with Conway, Marshall or the Iranian. Or any other decent winger for that matter.

Seen him play a few times and would be a decent addition, although looking at the press (I know) it seems we are a long way from completing this deal. We don't appear to be having much luck with wingers after Iranian Ali and Murphy, I hope we are much further advance then the enquiry stage for a position I would consider as a key area needing strengthening. With KLL and March who are both inconsistent we will continue to struggle to make chances as it stands. But then again that is hardly news.

I can't believe some people actually rate Conway. I presume it's just because they've seen him score the odd goal since on TV since he left and therefore presume he must be brilliant, because he was totally ineffective for us. What is the point of a winger who isn't either very fast or very skilful?

Ben Marshall sounds much better to me. I would be very impressed with him.

So ineffective that he was man of the match vs Leicester when we beat them 3-0

I wonder if we'll be down to 10th choice or more by the time we get a winger to agree to join us? Will we have to settle for another League One forward at the 11th hour??

It seems a little odd that the club that prides itself on tellin no one nuffink is being 'reported' to have offered the same amount of money for so many wingers, up and down the country.

I know agents get blamed for everything, but the Albion's silence must make them an easy target to start these reports.

In other words, they can't win! Criticised whatever they do!

Oh no that's not what I'm saying.

I think the club desire to stay away from the press, on going reporting, and rumourmongering, is spot on.

But because of that it would be easy for someone to attempt to smoke out other clubs by saying:-
'Well Brighton are interested in player x at about £1.5m'.

Safe in the knowledge Brighton are the one club that won't confirm or deny.

If you read the news stories in this paper................Makes Brighton look like Eden in comparison. I would have thought there should be a queue to sing for the us.

I know nothing about Ben Marshall, but I certainly rated Conway whilst he was here and was disappointed when we didn't sign him permanently.

Seems like a 'no-go' to me... next!

 

[Eeyore]

I'm beginning to wonder if our problem is that we are bidding for players who are above our station. Still, it shows ambition.

This transfer won't happen by the sound of it, he's said he's happy up there, and they only have 18 players, having lost a load. If we get him it'll be a minor miracle - but would be good!

The way we have been doing business so far this season anything is possible.

I think we have a few pokers in several fires, and are just stoking the flames to smoke out the pretenders...

Well Tony's certainly got 'brass in pocket' but I'm not sure we want the likes of Chrissie Hynde in our midfield!

Always love reading fans views on Brighton when we are after one of their players.
