COG Stays

[b.w.2.]

You haven't thought that through, have you?

Yes I have.

 

[Bwian]

As much as I appreciated his hold up play last season when he played, if we are looking (seriously looking) to make the playoffs or better this season then sadly, COG is not our man to help us progress. Like CMS he comes across as a really decent human being. Unlike CMS he can actually control a ball passed to him. However, he is really lacking in the goal scoring department when presented with chances. Sounds like he missed a fairly reasonable chance again today.

We need at least 2 proven goal scorers, goal scorers-not hold up men, added to the squad because the supporters will not be happy with another season of 'Brighton nil'. It's a crucial season as we all know-1901 renewals coming up, The Amex not a new toy any more. A repeat of last season will be disastrous in more ways than one.

I don't think he was as bad as some are making him out to be.

Ok he doesn't know where the goal is a big flaw for a striker, but his hold up play and trapping the ball was fairly decent. A good option coming of the bench when we are ahead and need to keep the ball.

Maybe I'm just comparing him to CMS so easily pleased

you're havin' a larf, yeah ?.....since when have we been ahead in a game ?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Maybe try to impress potential new club scouts?

You haven't thought that through, have you?

Yes I have.

Using both accounts today?

Can't really argue with this

*Allegedly* two clubs are after him, one as a transfer, the other as a season-long loan with an option to buy at the end of June.

Get him gone now.

Reckon one is Barnsley, when they get their Stones sell-on fee.

There'll be no shortage of volunteers to drive him wherever it is he needs a ride to.

This. And by this, I mean take the first option, and sell him. He's still got two seasons to run on his contract and, if what's been touted on here about his salary is true, we could do with freeing up c£1.3m, and perhaps use it to get the likes of Vydra or Dyer in on loan for a season, or even put it towards buying Tex.

Really a disastrous signing - completely sums up the Burke era for me - a journeyman lower league striker we paid completely over the odds for - should have sold him to sheff utd when we had the chance but a couple of average performances and for some reason the majority on here and CH thought he was worth keeping!!

 

[albionite]

I don't dislike him as some do as he does offer something different. Very good hold up play, but he will be judged on goals scored/ assisted.

For a team lacking in goals he is just a passenger for us at moment so it would most probably be better for all concerned that he moved on. It hasn't worked for him here.

 

[northernseagull]

For the majority of the 14/15 season we looked completely bereft of commitment and passion - in a few of the cameo O'grady appearances he at least looked like he would run in to the ground for Albion (all be it without any end product!) and on that basis he proved to Hughton he was worth a punt. I don't think we can deny him that opportunity, but, now he's had that opportunity and failed to capitalise on it then now is the time to sever the ties. Hopefully he goes to a good league one club and I wish him well.

 

[de la zouch]

Even if we manage to get rid you can guarantee we will be left paying c50% of those over the top wages.

To be fair I would take COG over Best EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK

Thats not saying much mind.

Disagree. We need one more. Actually even keeping OG i think we need one more. Squad is key

One more than the one more we are already after? We have 3 hold up type attackers at the moment and 1 nippy poacher. We need another nippy poacher, that's what I meant . Bobby and Hemed in one role, Baldock and A N Other in the other. Harper and Hambo to come along later.
