Brighton and Hove Albion consider bid for Preston North End striker

[OzMike]

No problem here, maybe it's his time, seems to be scoring for fun in League 1.

Cms scored for fun in that league too..................

 

[OzMike]

We won't be the only ones after him and will probably be offering the least.
Anyway, if Preston get promoted they may well keep him.

I have much more confidence that CH will select players to play in a system that he wants to use and not buy strikers that will not work in that system - time will tell

 

[APACHE]

We can sign the best forwards in the world but they won't score until the problem with the midfield is sorted, ie they don't make enough clear cut chances for the forwards.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Yay another league 1 striker who's already failed in the championship before. Wonder where we've seen that before?

Bournemouth ?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Zamora
Baldock
Ulloa 2 ( Le Bihan ? )
Garner

would be a decent set of strikers.


Let's get them in early !

 

[Smythe]

Would be happy with Baldock if he was played in his correct position and supported by a target man and a creative midfield.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I don't understand the logic that because we've not had much luck with League 1 strikers, we should ignore all of them.

Every player is different. And a hell of a lot of Premier League players were League 1 players once upon a time.

 

[JBizzle]

Aren't Baldock and Garner pretty similar as players? Great at League One level but played wide left for us. Are we seriously trying to sign ANOTHER 5ft 10in striker?

 

[Hotchilidog]

Garner has been superb this season, an excellent finisher, I would not have a problem with him being on our squad. I do have a feeling however that he'll end up somewhere else instead though.

 

[8ace]

Looks like he's got a lovely first touch. Sign him up!

Had forgotten he scored THAT goal - I stuck Preston in my league champions treble on the strength of that.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

This will be lot more likely if Preston fail in the playoffs.


Best of luck to Chesterfield tonight !

 

[Withdean11]

I'd be happy with him, but not as the main striker. He'd be a great option with Baldock.

 

[Yoda]

Have we not signed the leading Div 1 striker in two of the last few seasons. If this is to be lets hope he makes the step up having failed with Nottingham Forest and this is not casting him aside before giving him a chance.

He started ok at Forest scoring fairly regularly, but then Billy Davies took over and was either not given a chance or played out wide on the right. At the time he did also have Rob Earnshaw, Dexter Blackstock, Nathan Tyson, David McGoldrick, Marcus Tudgay and Dele Adebola to compete with.

 

[Rookie]

Isn't baldock a better player and very similar in style to him?

 

[Surf's Up]

So that means we'll negotiate for several weeks and be unwilling to pay him what he's worth.
Then he'll sign for Middlesbrough.

However if we did get him, I'd be over the moon.

If any truth in this, and there damn well ought to be, then sadly the above will happen. Again and again and again. We will continue to refuse to pay the going rate.

 

[B.W.]

Yes please. Another successful striker AT LEAGUE 1 LEVEL.

 

[Triggaaar]

Yes please. Another successful striker AT LEAGUE 1 LEVEL.

Indeed, we should be buying a successful Championship striker like Jordan Rhodes, who it's possible we could get for £15m, plus hefty wages.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Baldock could be more than decent but isn't a lone striker or left winger so another waste of talent and money by the seem of things.

And ghenerally scores all his goals when he, you know plays with a strike partner, just like you know CMS,. But two up from died at BHA circa 2011 and the first day at the AMEX. Rarely seen since sadly.
