Bobby to Birmingham

[Iamapen15]

Apparently they've spoken!

I thought he was retiring and going into coaching.

 

[BensGrandad]

That would be a killer for us byt surely he is no longer fit enough.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

A spy in the camp, you heard it here first.

 

[Diego Napier]

That would be a killer for us byt surely he is no longer fit enough.

Why a killer? We've let him go.

 

[Triggaaar]

That would be a killer for us

What, why? He's not fit enough to play. He's a legend, I wish him well whatever he does.

Oh sorry, it's you. Carry on.

 

[severnside gull]

Heard the same on Saturday. Lots of potential caveats on fitness & performance.
Plus he might need oxygen playing that far north of London!

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Um...we let him go didn't we?

If he can get a contract elsewhere then fair play to him. Beyond signing for a certain Croydon based team there's very little he could do to cause any upset for us surely?

 

[samtheseagull]

Good luck to him, I cant see him playing many games next season especially being a year older.

As long as one of the caveats includes not playing against us

 

[Gary Leeds]

I could actually see Bobby being one of those guys that when the us vs whoever he signs for game comes along he will get a twinge and rule himself out of playing against us even if he is on a play to be paid deal

 

[Prince Monolulu]

He'd probably have a peaky 'Blinder' if he played against us.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

When he played for West Ham against us at Withdean he scuffed one round the post. There are those who maintain he then turned around and winked at the South Stand...

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Would be a massive shame as by the end of the season I felt like we had chatted with him and agreed to let him retire from the playing side early.

I hate the thought of him finishing his career elsewhere especially if they manage to get more games out of him

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I thought him retiring was an assumption made by people on here. If he can get himself a pay-per-play deal, at say £10k a match, he could earn himself all of £13.27 next season.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Need to let it go now Bobster.

 

[crodonilson]

Gutted if he goes there but Birmingham are a massive club and one last chance to get one of the divisions giants promoted may prove tempting.

 

[Lethargic]

I would be very disappointed if this happens not because I think Bobby could do a job for us next season but more the opposite. He has had a great career and "finished" back with the Albion because he wanted to, it was in his heart. His body is shagged and I believe for several of the games it was his love of coming back to Brighton that pushed him over the line. If he goes elsewhere then will he have that added drive, I really don't think he is after the money, his body can't hack it so will he just be doing a Kitson and taking the money.

Bobby I don't want you to fizzle out in that manner I want to remember you as a great and for that I hope you quit.

 

[beorhthelm]

so for months its been speculated that he's all but officially retired due to knackered hip and/or knee. with his absence from the bench, even when others weren't performing, this was generally accepted.

now the speculation is he's signing for club, in the midlands at that.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

It's OK folks, don't worry. He's been sent there as a spy and to sabotage any promotion bid.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It's OK folks, don't worry. He's been sent there as a spy and to sabotage any promotion bid.

Or to score against Newcastle, Norwich etc. in the big games
