How would you describe Craig Noone's playing style? Is he a pacey winger or more of a winger that relies on skill? Does he work hard? hard working winger, can be tricky, inconsistent and end product (final ball or a shot) can be poor. Not a goal scorer. Think Championship is his level.

What is his personality like on and off the pitch? Seems to be a top man, appreciates that he is a professional footballer as he got into the game very late. Very humble, a lot of time for fans. Well liked in dressing room

Is he potentially a great Championship player or could he cut it in the top flight? (If we ever make it one f***ing day!) Personally I am not sure he could make the Premiership, but you never know.

What would you rate his overall impact at Brighton? 7/10. Came in early in the Gus revolution, very good L1 player, at a bargain basement price from financially struggling Plymouth (we paid a tax bill I think)

In our club's perspective, is he a good signing? Should he start? Don't really follow Cardiff, might give you another type of winger, I'm just not sure if he can go much higher/further in his career. Will be a fan favourite though, so hope your club shop has stocked up on the letters n-o-o-n-e


Would you boff Davina McCall? Oh yes.


100% this.....and absolutely....looks a right dirty minx.

He's incredibly good at dribbling, got magical feet but his crossing is woefull as is his shooting ability. Lua lua is much better imo so im happy he will now play more often as i think Poyet has been wrong to play Noone ahead of him. Only my opinion, Noone is certainly a box of tricks but with time you'll come to realise hes not that great im afraid. Decent champ player, nothing more

I think his delivery this season (albeit only based on two games versus Hull and Cardiff) has been noticeably better than last season.

Ideally you want your wingers to be chipping in with half a dozen goals a season though, and this is where he perhaps comes unstuck.

I don't think he's a top Championship player, but definitely a useful squad player. No end product - can't cross, can't shoot.

I was a little surprised Cardiff were so interested to be honest.

Same here, im of the mind to take the money and run, as is Gus id imagine right now. Had plenty of time to shine aint good enough to push for promotion imo

What about Davina ?

Well his crossing so far this season has been dreadful, perhaps better on the floor but in the air usually shite, he hasnt got that ability to put a dangerous cross, speed angle whatever

Can't add much more than everyone said, but you are getting a good man there. He always has time for the fans. When I had a chat with him in our club shop. he talked as excitedly about us as if he was another fan and not a player. He will get you off your seat, with his runs and his enthusiasm is infectious. I for one will be sorry to see Nooney go.

As for Davina, if I have too I suppose.

He will definately be loved by the fans. Has pace, but at a cost because wont last 90 minutes. End product is an issue although against Barnsley at the weekend it was much better.

Oh one other thing. If you play Liverpool he will spend the game chasing Stevie G for his shirt. We were on the coach on the way back from getting gubbed 6-1 in the cup last year and he tweeted a picture of the never walk alone sign saying his dreams had all come true!! Thanks Craig.

If you know the manager of Nando's he is in for bumper four years!!

It was. Probably a good job you weren't at Swindon then: there were times I feared for the safety of the home fans in the stand on the left of the pitch when Noone crossed the ball :D
 


Greetings, Seagulls. :wave:

I'm currently in the process of conjuring up an article on our newly acquired signing and your views will be greatly appreciated and will be paramount to an accurate write-up.

I've come on here a few times before and have never had the intention of rubbing anything in or for a wind-up and you've all been extremely helpful to me.

Basically, if you have the time, could you answer a few quick questions?

How would you describe Craig Noone's playing style? Is he a pacey winger or more of a winger that relies on skill? Does he work hard? etc

What is his personality like on and off the pitch?

Is he potentially a great Championship player or could he cut it in the top flight? (If we ever make it one f***ing day!)

What would you rate his overall impact at Brighton?

In our club's perspective, is he a good signing? Should he start?

Would you boff Davina McCall?


Cheers folks

What is his personality like on and off the pitch?Great character,gave the impression that He really loved the club,good to have around the dressing room.

Is he potentially a great Championship player or could he cut it in the top flight? (If we ever make it one f***ing day!)Has the ability to be a very good championship player,premier,not so sure.

What would you rate his overall impact at Brighton?Because he is such a likeable character I would say he had a truly positive impact on the Albion.

In our club's perspective, is he a good signing? Should he start?yes/maybe.

Would you boff Davina McCall?All ends up and twice on tuesday.

Seems like a nice guy and probably one of the most popular players especially with the kids.

Can turn most fullbacks inside out.

Can't cross, shoot or tackle.

This. We should have taken the offer that was on the table in January.

Great piece of business for us at that price, especially since we have already have Kazenga and Bucca. Great news for Cardiff fans sitting about ten rows back behind the goal because they'll see plenty of the ball as Nooney bamboozles a fullback and then shanks another cross into the crowd.
