Brighton are one of SIX clubs to offer Jabo Ibehre a contract. One of the others is Southend.

He has also been offered a trial by Norwich.

Why the f*** do we need him? I'd have thought we were fairly strong up front.

Mind you, I'm guessing Wilkins knows this, which makes me think there must be a fairly tidy WAR CHEST for the rest of the squad.

Maybe he'll go to Southend, and we'll sign that fella Revell?

I disagree, I don't think any of the options off the bench, Dixon and Gatting look like scoring goals on a regular basis. We need someone who can offer at least 8 or 9 goals a season coming from a backup striker position, to add to the hopeful high teens tally for each of Murray and Forster. Gargan might well be that player but he hasn't had enough time yet to show anything. Revell would have been perfect as the 3rd option after Murray and Forster.

We were after Ibehre in the Jan 07 transfer window if my memory serves me correctly so Wilkins must have been a long time fan of the player and had him watched closely in the last 18 months.

No way. We won the TITLE with 9 goals from Lee Steele, and the mountain of goals from that strike partner of his whose name escapes me. I don't remember any other striker contributing anything of note in that season.

Not saying it wouldn't be nice to have though, and I think chasing this player may prove that major strengthening across the entire squad is on the cards.

This must be bollocks, everyone knows the Albion offer contracts to players two days BEFORE the season starts not 2 days after it's finished :shrug:

might be worth a punt on him. Only 25 years old , only had 1 club so maybe a change will do him good. His record isnt actually to bad compared to Baz and we managed to turn him round.

Looks a bit more of a player than Gatting and Dixon from what I've seen

More to the point why are Southend after him??? They've got plenty of options up-front, oh... wait, maybe they realised the pile of shit they bought in January for 150k is going to get absolutely no where.
