No sign of the promised striker

[atomised]

Not players of the standard we need to be looking at. You get the odd gem out of contract im sure but few and far between.

 

[BensGrandad]

Managers tend to go after players they know and have dealt with before hence the likes of Ameobi and Becchio for CH mind it didnt work with Leon Best.

If unattached and on trial yes as nothing to lose.

Wages, team spirit, points/the game if they turn out to be crap, place in the squad that could be filled by someone else............

 

[Knotty]

Well if players are out of contract, they may be desperate to find a new club.

Not so desperate as to play in a totally contrived game, surely? If our scouting and recruitment team needed a game like that to decide who to sign, I'd despair of them! This isn't a trial for Sussex Schools U10s!

If that was a problem you would wouldnt sign them simple.

Quite - maybe one or more of these apply to the names of the has-beens you persist in trotting out, which is why CH hasn't signed them........

It would benefit a club considering signing a player who hasnt player much this season like Adebayor, Kevin Nolan and even Rortherham Lucciano Bechhio. or dare I say it J Lloyd Samuel or Ashley Cole.when Villa were considering him.

I'm speechless!

Me too. Do you think he spends hours on Wikipedia trying to look up tired old donkeys and comes up with these names? J Lloyd Samuel.... give me strength!

Just not going to happen anyway! For a number of reasons, not least it would be undermining the thousands of man hours spent scouting by PW and his team.
We can make up all the incredible suggestions we like, but almost certainly at this late stage the die is already cast. For my money we are waiting for other Prem deals to be completed before we can buy. I'm praying ...and yes I know it's not likely, that due to Leicester buying new strikers they might let us have Leo ...... on loan at least.

Unfortunately, as loathe as I am to say this, with Leicester three points clear at the top of the Premier League, it's likely, if Ulloa were to be loaned out, other lesser Premier League teams would show an interest.

What the ......

 

[severnside gull]

Surely Rhodes is moving on from Blackburn in this window?
Rule us out? Not me!

 

[Mutts Nuts]

I've been around a while chaps, not always posting but long enough to witness Mutts Nutts' relentlessly negative chatter on here, including his failed one man campaign to get us all to call CMS 'McSmudger'.

It's tiring to read, to be honest, and I hope for his sake he is trolling because it would be awful to be genuinely that negative.

To answer your question... Yes we might go up. Not likely but possible and as an Albion fan of 25 years standing that's good enough for me.

Hope my English is up to scratch. Love and kisses xxx

Thanks for making me laugh

Norwich recalling van wolfswinkle from season loan in Spain ?

Surely not

 

[portslade seagull]

Norwich recalling van wolfswinkle from season loan in Spain ?

Surely not

Hope not hardly a prolific scorer

I was wondering this. Signed by CH and despite a poor record in Prem he has a cool name and was mustard on Football Manager.

 

[DanRedman]

Not long now to the end of the window. Looking more and more like a last minute deadline signing - if any. Please no more Dobbie's!

I'm hoping that placing this post will mean some good news very soon!

Didn't Hughton say on BBC Sussex last weekend he wasn't going to sign a striker?

Don't know- doubt it. However he also said that Sidwell was only there as a guest of Bobbys.
