Another loanee!!!!!

Brighton are set to sign Nottingham Forest defender Greg Halford on loan. #BHAFC #NFFC

Can we do this? this puts us 2 over the 5 allotted, send 2 back maybe.

Brighton & Loan Albion, just shows how poor our summer recruitment went.

Defender my arse, stick him up front!

Gardner back to Villa, he just doesn't appear to up for it down here.

 

[brightonmark1234]

he played upfront for forest last season when some on their forwards were injured

We can only include 5 in a matchday squad

Decent signing but I'm a bit worried about all these loan players - especially the short-term ones. Reminds me of Mickey Adams in his second spell here. And we all know how that ended.

 

[Albion Robster]

Sounds like Hughes could be out for a while then.
Halford can do a job up top as well...no worse than O'Grady does!

 

[Don Tmatter]

Shows me our board are more reactive than pro-active

 

[Ernest]

He is USELESS

 

[tinx]

Didn't he get sent off against us when playing for Pompey?

Halford would be the 6th loanee (Al Habsi , E Bennett , J Bennett , Texeira , Gardner are the present loanees). Gardner seems favourite to be dropped in the short term. Things only get problematical if we sign a loan striker.

He is USELESS

His Wikipedia page states he's a utility player which usually means the same.

 

[Uncle C]

We can have 100 loanees as long as we only play 5 in any one game.

okay got it.

okay got it.

When you read something in The Argus it sometimes pays to read it a couple of times as the headlines quite often don't match what is written further down.

A view from my Forest supporting mate:

He is very versatile but that’s mainly because he’s not good enough to cement a place in one position. Roy Keane described him as the worst signing he ever made!

However, being objective, when his mind is focused he is a decent centre half but he would need someone mobile partnering him. He is suspect at full-back. Has a great long-throw. My view is that he will do ok – he has not played at all this season (not even as a sub) so if he has anything about him he will want to impress.

I don't care what he plays like, I'm not buying a bike off him.

Al Habsi can't play tonight, and presumably E Bennett can't play against Norwich, so that only leaves the Blackburn and Fulham games where we might have too many loanees to select them all if we get a 6th one in,
