Brighton and Hove Albion consider bid for Preston North End striker

[El Turi]

He's scored some great goals this season but never really scored at Championship level.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

He would cost at least £1.5m + decent wages. Chuck that same total cost at Darren Bent and we would me much better off.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Fairly sure that website has a dubious record of making stuff up.

Just a stream of plausible sounding but entirely fabricated transfer rumours, exists purely for the clicks.

100% this. Dreadful article

Especially after reading this......

"Brighton and Hove Albion fans…. What do you make of this news? Would you like to sign Joe Garner this summer? Is he the type of player you have been missing? Let us know your thoughts and feelings in the comments below"

Sounds like the author is desperate for attention

God but I love NSC. So much unbridled optimism.!
Let's hope that if the rumour does have legs PNE flop in the play-offs

 

[Napper]

Not a great record in this div and has dropped down to find his level IMO . Was the next big thing for Blackburn once . Prefer a player that's stepping up and exceeding the level than visa versa . Although Freddie seArs similar situation and done ok for ipswich .

Would hope for better

Another munchkin no doubt.

5'10 just like CMS and the same age as him when he joined as 27.


Yep a target man

 

[Triggaaar]

I heard we have to sell 2 or 3 before we can buy 1.

We'd be better off signing Joel Garner

We'd be better off signing Joel Garner

He'd be good for a team playing long ball.

What league did Callum Wilson come from

So quick to write off league one players on here. Pick the right ones and it is good business.

Agreed, Baldock is a top player too in my opinion if we actually play him up front.

 

[Springal]

Tony Bloom taking the piss out of us now

 

[Seasidesage]

Where do all the geniuses on here rubbishing the idea think we are going to get players from? Premier League is too expensive, the top end of the Championship won't come. So that leaves foreigners of variable quality, league 1 and 2 players hopefully on the up and loans.

Unless some of you think Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney are secret Albions fans? Some delusional idiots on here...

 

[kevtherev]

Going down the Baldock/Cms route still..After good league 1 players. To be expected I suppose, we won't sign any proven championship quality up front.

 

[peterward]

Good news if true.
Striker who scores goals...although Baldock scored a lot of League 1.

So did CMS and even Barn door Billy before they made the step up and failed

benik afobe??

 

[Ernest]

We should be getting in Jordan Rhodes , Darren Bent and maybe Rude Gestede

 

[bhawoddy]

Not sure id be excited by this if it happened. Had chances before in the championship and didnt do much. League 1 is a different animal IMO.
Not for me thanks
