Is Grabban a Brighton Player?

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I'm just so glad that We have a chairman that will not be f@cked about.

 

[Munchkin]

Could you post which party your contact is close to? If it's Muff, then future information from him will be not particularly relevant to Albion-related transfers; if it's the player, that might be quite interesting; but if it's the Albion, that could be dynamite (if true!)

My contact works in the media, not employed by either club but for a media company that works with both (along with many others in the FL.)

Not fair to say much more as I don't want to get him in any trouble, but I trust his information. Unfortunately he flies out on holiday tomorrow so my 'inside information' finishes today.

Agents are *****

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I don't believe we would spend £1.1m on a player, and then only offer him a 2 year contract. That isn't plausible to me

Thanks for replying. I'd forgotten about the media. It does mean that his info is at least one step removed from the parties actually involved in the negotiations, so the risk of chinese whispers is increased. Nonetheless, the info you provide is, as I said last time, plausible.

Totally understand that you don't want to provide further info regarding the source!

Thanks for this. Don't think you should have divulged a certain piece of information in that email though.

Between the three of them they must have signed just about every player in the Football League in recent years. Wage bills must be astronomical.

Are they astronomical or par for the course now?

Not being critical of [MENTION=3647]Munchkin[/MENTION] but definitely this. The suggestion of a 2 year contract doesn't sound at all right

 

[Munchkin]

To clarify....

2 year deal 'with an option attached'

To be honest I'm not sure what that means, but that's what was agreed initially.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Graaban can do one in light of this info

 

[vulture]

He is infected with palace anyway thank f uck he is not coming here.

 

[BensGrandad]

According to the report on here it was nothing to do with Grabban all down to his agent. Who is his agent? With the latest injury to Lua Lua this makes it more desirable for us to sign him on loan tonight and then permenantly next week.

 

[nwgull]

The good news is that we know that the club have a decent pot of money available to recruit new players.

I was excited by the prospect of him signing, but glad that we're not prepared to pay unsustainable wages or allow players or their agents to duck us about.

To be honest I'm not sure what that means, but that's what was agreed initially.

In a lot of sports a players contract can have player or team options attached to it.

Will generally mean the team or player can take up or decline a potential extra year on the contract.

I'm hearing from those in the know locally that Grabban has had his head turned by QPR!

 

[ewe2]

Mason has a better goal record in the championship ,and IMO a more direct replacement for Barnes.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Enough of him ****ing us around, go get Mason

 

[lovelyboy]

Are we seeing the pitfalls of a bid for a player being made public?

Another striker to go with the other 7?

 

[IRISH and HOVE ALBION]

For what it's worth I have just heard on the local Hampshire radio station that after lengthy discussions all day Lewis grabban is expected to sign for Brighton tonight.
If not true blame Wave 105
