Joe Mason and Lewis Grabban

[lawros left foot]

I don't know how I'll ever recover from this. I've let you all down, I've let myself down, and I've brought shame on my family.

I'll leave you with the loaded revolver, and close the Study door on the way out

Pretty certain we'll only get one out of Stuani, Mason and Grabbon ( plus a midfielder ) and which may all depend on if we get any cash from selling Bridcutt.

No way will we get Stuani

Why would he leave la liga for the championship ? He played against Real Madrid a couple of days ago

Bruno did

Bruno did

But he was released from Valencia, he had no contract

Well for at least showing some degree of remorse we are minded to sentence you to probation until Saturday. Oh same goes for your shameful family too.

Which merely serves to underline my point. The catchment area for AFCB within a small geographic location in circa 500k. Therefore, gates of 30k are plausible (albeit the sort that would only come with a trip to the top-flight) We're not trying to get 25,000 gates with a 150,000 population.

brighton and hove together have together a population of 275000 when you gone west to littlehampton then east as far as lewes and eastbourne and north to horsham and crawley the catchment area is nearer 750000

Grabban on the bench or the Cherries tonight

Grabban on the bench or the Cherries tonight

I assume he normally starts? I know he did against us and he started against Wigan but I've not looked further back.

If you are playing for Real then yes, why would you leave Spain. But didn't Orlandi make a comment about the finances of a lot of the other la liga clubs in that you didn't always get paid!

Found this interesting site, don't how reliable the info is though!

23 starts, came on as a sub v qpr, unused sub v Watford in the league cup

[imbrightontillidie]

Possibly on the bench so he is not cup tied?

Cheers I was looking on the bbc on my phone and it wasn't being helpful

Do you think that make a big difference to us really? In all likelihood we'll have 2 or 3 more games in the cup unless the draw is really kind or we out perform higher teams so I don't think that would overly bother us if he was cup tied

 

[shaunslats]

came on at the end, farewell appearance?

 

[blockhseagull]

Eddie Howe said no bids received for any players after the game

 

[Skaville]

I liked the goals vid on the argus website. Worth a look if you've missed it. Looks a good player

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Interesting. So, is this all press speculation?

 

[stevejoneslegend]

Don't get too excited folks... He was rested and Howe had always said he was going to change a few things up for this game... We played a different formation and played 2 strikers that have not played in a while... Grabbs came on with around 15 to go I think...

We have Watford on Saturday, then Liverpool, then Huddersfield the following Tuesday so a lot of games coming up...

 

[severnside gull]

Interesting. So, is this all press speculation?

Naylor tweeted this afternoon that they always check with their sources before saying anything in the argus.
They then put up the Echo video of Grabban's goals.

On that basis would be very surprised if we don't table a formal offer for Grabban.

Whether that results in him signing is entirely another matter.
