Oh well I'm sure it will come out in the fullness of time .... BOZZA who the Feck is it !!!

give us Sidwell.

Now!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

He obviously doesn't have to be present if any talks were actually ongoing (agents, representatives, etc.) That's almost saying any player who is starting a Pre-season friendly today isn't for sale/won't move/key member of squad. The fact that Dobbie is starting for Palace today completely blows the latter part of that theory out of the water!

Dobbie only played the 1st half , the SE25 Messi also withdrawn.

I reckon it's Spanish Dave.

 

[Icy Gull]

Yup Spanish Dave running out with the team for tonight's game
































Unlikely but I would love it

 

[Albumen]

Am I wrong in thinking Dave removed the "Football Player of Brighton & Hove Albion FC" from his twitter header when his contract ended? It's now back . . .

Pretty sure he never removed it

 

[TSB]

Pretty sure he never removed it

And yet he was on there two days ago. Interesting, that!

You are correct.....well that is definitely worth considering. Please let it be the Ian Brown look-a-like!!!!!

Thought he kept the photo but removed the words.

 

[gjh1971]

Photo is still there but no words

 

[Bladders]

Steve sidwell

Guess or heard something?

 

[TSB]

Photo is still there but no words

? Words are there

 

[Albumen]

Right, the words are on the interweb, not on a mobile. Hence why I thought he removed them!
Forget I said anything.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Just casting my eye over a few of the suggestions and, assuming Bozza's true to his word about a 'fan favourite', you can rule out:
Elphick - Popular local boy
Sidwell - Popular loan signing
McShane - One great goal but not actually that good IMO and not a position we need to sign more
Harding - Suggested recently. A fan favourite in a big way, but only when he's playing for the opposition!
Hammond - Fairly "meh"
Bennett - Ruled out
Zamora - Ruled out
Chris Wood - Fan favourite?!
Joel Lynch - Like Elphick, popular local boy but hardly a favourite.
CKR - I'm with Edna (who probably knows who it is at any rate). The man's an absolute ****. No thanks.
Leon - I think we all know that isn't happening
Razak - Looked class but clearly not right up top
Assulin - The very essence of MEH

So, who else have we had in the last 10 years who could be classed as a fan favourite?
OGH - Nope
Bridge - Sadly no
Noone - Yeah, he'd fit. Need midfielders too. I don't personally think he'll add much though...other than character
Dave - He'd definitely fit too, but I'm not sure Bozza's wording really suggests that
Vicente - Same as Dave
Baz Savage?
Alexis Bertin was pretty popular whilst here, but he's getting on and played at a pretty low level.
Murray - Very, very injured and very, very Palace
Kuipers - Retired
Ben Roberts - Retired
Therry Racon - On a free after being released by Milwall (where he played one game in two years)
Adam Virgo - Think he's retired
Guy Butters - Retired
Chris Iwelumo - Getting on and just signed for Scunny
Matt Sparrow - No
Jake Robinson - Finally found his level at Whitehawk
Dean Cox - Always quite liked him, but not what we need
Jose Reyes - Another man with driving problems. Been here, there and everywhere since playing on loan. Not really a favourite

Noone, Dave, Dagger. Can't see how it could possibly be anyone else.

Edit: Oh and as for "How could anyone hope it's not Vicente?
I would like us to increase our squad depth, rather than our medical bills. The money could be better spent on someone who will play 30+ games a year.

I think it's probably Spanish Dave but out of interest, why have you ruled out Sidwell?

 

[B.W.]

Indeed. Tony is ruthless so won't stand for someone taking 5 weeks to decide.

Vicente more likely, may have released him due to unknown manager situation?

I will be shocked if Tony sanctions further (largely wasted) outlay on Vicente. Permanent class, permanent injured.

 

[TSB]

I think it's probably Spanish Dave but out of interest, why have you ruled out Sidwell?

Wording, mainly. He was certainly popular, but I took 'fan favourite' to mean a cult figure along the lines of Nooney or Dave.
I'd love it to be Sidders though.

@noeliadeniz Rumour Spanish Dave is in talks with #BHAFC about a return to the club. Any truth in that?


noeliadéniz ‏@noeliadeniz40s
@BrightonPatriot @LPBreen @AlbionChat I know nothing about possible signings, honestly! Spanish Dave and Vicente won't be back though!

The plot thickens!

Said what?

 

[B.W.]

If you want the player you get the player, does it really matter if he took 5 weeks to decide.

maybe the contract offer being withdrawn and Dave's goodbye statement were simply part of the negotiation process

Have to agree.
