[Albion] Gary Dicker Retires

[Monkey Man]

We need an experienced pro who knows exactly what the fans expect from a player who pulls on the stripes. A player whose attitude and work rate are already known to all. So, Leon Best.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Gordon Greer

Gordon Greer

He does our Northern scouting I think so not around this neck of the woods anymore.

Agreed. Shame we can't field two overage players, Chuba Akpom could have joined him.

 

[GT49er]

Bruno would be imperious in the U23s, no? On the books already, easy peasy.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Last saw him doing media for the Southampton game. I guess he must be on an Aspinall kick down there as he was pretty much supporting them, referring them to as 'us' and never mentioning his connections with Brighton.

Thanks to Gary. A vital part of Poyet's team that began this journey. Played out of his skin in the Championship winning season.

We need to go and get Calde or Orlandi, or get El Capitan to turn out for the odd game. You know that you'd all go and watch. If they were seriously wanting someone, Roman Vincelot might be good.

Andrea Orlandi had to retire a few years ago because of a heart problem. He is a pundit on Spanish tv now.

Hope he's well. If his writings whilst at Blackpool were anything to go by, he probably does a pretty good job as a pundit.

Kinda

Since Weir joined they mixed things up and Greer now is the link for all our CB's out on loan as well as working alongside those in the academy

 

[BBassic]

Will Buckley would be my suggestion

I believe he's retired and is now an agent.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Put a bid into United for Paul McShane from the Bissouma sale proceeds.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Assistant manager at Alaves' B Team.

Oh yes, where it all started for him. Probably of more appeal to him than the Albion, He has gone home.

Rather busy then.

I can imagine him rather wistfully looking at the office of the strikers equivalent:-

 

[Munkfish]

Tommy Elphick I but I’m not sure we need anymore centre backs in our under 23s.

If Dicker still holds a coaching role in the under 23s I don’t think we would look to replace them.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Adam Hinshlewood becoming part of our set up talking around ex players.

Coaching from the sidelines is one thing but the added value in having someone on the pitch modelling what is being asked of people is a huge bonus. I think we will add someone into the role

 

[Marshy]

Because our U23s are better than someone that's been knocking around in the Scottish Prem for years...

I still love you though Gary, dont think i dont.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Assistant manager at Alaves' B Team.

Manager now, I think.

 

[Braggfan]

Vincente ?

 

[Marshy]

Get Bruno in... id pay to go watch him in the 23s

 

[seagully]

If we are going to go down the central midfield route a la Crofts and Dicker then Bridcutt would be good, if perhaps a bit young. Would love to see Kayal back at the club in some capacity too

 

[albionalex]

It appears that Gary Dicker has retired from playing which suggests he no longer will be the over age player with the U23's. Over to NSC for suggestions of ex Brighton players who could fulfil that role which was previously held by Andrew Crofts
