Seagulls world has a cracking pitcutre of him in full training with the title 'Andrew Crofts turns away from danger'.

Great to see him back and raring to go.

Agreed and it will be great to see a reliable old face this season. Some new faces, of course, would also be good too.

Good news indeed, Is Stephens out there as well?

 

[papajaff]

Crofty was our best player last season. Would have got player of the season had he not got that injury.

Really great to see him back.

 

[Napper]

I thought he was out for first month of the season.

So he should be back for the first game ?

Great news

No shinpads in training? Health & safety hazard!

Yep. And also my favourite type of player, a midfielder who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and score just when you need it.

 

[Marshy]

Great to have him back in the squad agreed.

But starting ahead of Toko, Ince, Stephens, JFC, and a new signing yet to arrive.....I just dont see it.

I'll agree he has come up with a couple of vital goals, but over the last two seasons I can't remember coming away from a game at the Amex and thinking he'd grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck. I think his value is more away from home.

That only goes to re-enforce my view that we have a better squad now than last year. Albeit we need a goalie and CB.

Great headline, trot out some spin to cover the lack of news on signings.

But, fantastic he's on the way back, lets hope.

Agreed but I meant that I generally like that type of player. Crofty returned then got injured if he is fit and settled back in the club then I believe he has the potential to be just that type of player home or away and consistantly.

If only he could control and pass a ball..

Ince and JFC have to be properly thrown in this season, along with Toko, Stephens and the new signings.

Unless we have injury problems I can see Mr Crofts getting a lot of bench time.

Hes great back up.

Really I think Crofts is one of the first names on the teamsheet and as good as anyone in the division at what he does. I also think he would be a far more effective captain than Greer and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was named as Sammi's captain.

Yep. All that.

Crofts is a machine, and we missed him badly when he got injured last season.

He'll be ahead of the young lads, and is a different player to Stephens. Toko I've never seen play so

If Crofts is fit for the start of the season then I don't see why we need to spend money on another midfielder. The money would be better added to money spent on a quality striker especially if Ulloa goes which is likely. In my opinion we have enough quality in midfield and Crofts if on top of his game would start most games. After his injury last season we had no-one arriving late in the box to score goals. This year, playing a higher line under Hyypia those sort of openings should appear more. Crofts will be a valuable player if this is the case.

He will be an automatic starter....
