Damn Shrewsbury stealing all our best players! 
On a more serious note, I would hope that Livermore has told Slade he wants a chance in central midfield. He gives us balance and experience, he is so incredibly underrated by this club, it's actually amazing to me! I think he's more important in the squad than our management appreciate, which is sad and probably means he'll be off. Hopefully Hawkins will go, I'm still hopeful that El-Abd will be bombed out somewhere.

I don't understand all this hype about Livermore. Every time I have seen him play, he has not impressed me in the slightest (apart from pre-season last year). He seems a nice enough guy and seems to have the right attitude and everything, and I really hope he proves me wrong and becomes an important part of the squad. However, to say he has contributed anything significant to date would be, well, just wrong, really.

He hasn't contributed anything yet, granted. But we all know he has got the ability, he was rather brilliant at Southend for example. I honestly think he could be a big player for us given the chance. I think it safe to say that if we don't want him, he'll go somewhere else and be an important player.

Whilst his reputation suggests he should be a big player for us, his performances last season show that he might be getting on a bit. As for the Southend game, I wasn't there but I got the impression that a central midfield pairing of Steven Thomson and Adam Virgo did pretty well too, so maybe that isn't the most routine game from which to judge a player's ability. If he makes a move he might well perform better, but he didn't do much at Luton last season....apart from nearly breaking someone's leg when playing for us.

He has what is known as 'pedigree' and, theoretically, based on his performances in a successful Hull season in 2007/8, should have been a massive player for us last year. But he wasn't. And the problem is that it looks as though he has lost his legs and all round fitness which are vital attributes for a midfield general. It's a great shame, but the fact that he isn't currently in the squad suggests that he isn't in the right condition - I think we have to leave decisions like that to the people who watch him train and track his fitness systematically every day.

I think Livermore has been quite unlucky in his short time at the Albion, being played out position and having various injuries have not helped him get a good run in the side. For me he has far more potential than the likes of El-Abd, but it isn't me who sees them train every day and picks the team is it!
I've often thought is it just that his face doesn't fit or he is a bit outspoken in the dressing room, thus upsetting managers?

The only place Forster's going to is retirement

Forster ain't going anywhere very strange rumour. He moved here to be closer to home.
If we get the Crawley bloke can't see where Hawkins will fit in, no where near the first team and is/was pretty much only battling for a place on the bench.
Livermore I just don't get should be good but hasn't been. If he was any good would have got his chance in centre mid but 2 managers (3 if you include White as temp boss) have decided not to play him there, can't all be wrong.

This Livermore being great at Hull in their promotion season is rubbish. If he was good why did they loan him to Oldham for the last two months of that season? I want him to succeed like any other Brighton player but I honestly think he won't. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for players at some clubs and I think Slade will move him on.

I think this will be Forster's last season with us , if he doesn't retire his only option will be a L2 or conference club who might sign him for another year. He could end up at Aldershot rather than Shrewsbury. Livermore and Hawkins could go out on loan rather than rot in the reserves in the hope of getting another club willing to take them.

manager know what he'll get from Forster and we have to assume, unless he has an injury, and old pro like him is going to be keeping fit anyway so no need for a run out. nothing to see here.
Livermore... hasnt shown the potential dont know why. worth keeping around as was a decent play at Millwall and Hull.
Hawkins is a bit poor and will be off to League 2 soon i think. would keep him for cover, but rather see a young player given oppurtunity, not like Hawkins actually brings much experience for his age.
