i don't know this as a romour but if we want a 25 goal a season striker i reckon this would be a possible signing. any thoughts?

 

[Dave the OAP]

going to hudds

 

[jcdenton08]

I doubt we'd garner the interest.

 

[dje shoreham]

he'd be useful in the box at 6 foot 8 - didnt realise he played football as well as cricket

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Hmm.....

Source ?

Cue 'Big Bird's a Seagull' headlines in the Argus later.

Barnes is our goal-machine. Just you watch.

 

[waterhouse]

Totally agree I think he will do much better than most people seem to think. I was really impressed with him last season.
I think he is a great replacement for Forster.
Now we need an expierianced striker, Greer and lua lua.
then Job done.

I've thought Garner is a player we should look at for a long time. He was immense when he was at Carlisle but has struggled to get in the Forest side as they have a lot of options up front.

I see no reason why he would choose Huddersfield over us. We are equally ambitious, have a better manager and pretty soon will have a much better stadium. Plus we are in Brighton not Huddersfield.

And I agree that Barnes is a better signing than most people seem to think.

Hopefully signing for us soon, although it seems more paper talk than anything concrete.

To the guy above, I don't think there is much to choose between the two clubs. Withdean will be holding you back again this summer in terms of attracting players. Next January and then next summer i'm sure we will suddenly see a different calibre of players prepared to join you knowing they will be playing in a shiny new stadium.

In terms of attendances, I expect you will dwarf us in your first season at Falmer.

29 goals in 103 appearances. Although a lot at a higher level. Scored some crackers though. If we sign him I expect we will be playing 442 next season as he is not the kind of player who could lead the line on his own. On the Huddersfield rumours it is worth noting that Nottingham is the furthest south he has played thus far in his career, he might be anither one of those weirdos who don't want to live in the south.

Leave us alone, we keep ourselves to ourselves up here

He was funking fantastic for us, had the big lump that was danny grahaam protecting him & laying off & is more than easily a league 1 player......Forest never actually played him upfront (played on the right wing) so his scoring record doesn't look that impressive.....for a league 1 player to pull in £1m transfer fee (at the time) at the age of 19, there is definate talent there...
