Press conf at1030 thurs. Strikter to be Annonce. Reliable Source.. Jermaine beckford.

<mod: name removed to protect the innocent - rest of the puzzling spelling left untouched.>

Deciphering the coded message above, and given the Germanic hints dropped by Lord B (I think) over the past couple of days, could the announcement be related to "Hans-Peter Strikter" a forward in Stuttgart's reserves, the source of the story being Jermain Beckford? ???

Vankleek Hill, actually....
If you type in Jermaine Beckford Brighton into Google the first entry is Seagulls.co.uk where he is listed as a player but when you click on it there is nothing??

Very interesting, they have clearly got the page all ready to upload, but have taken it down for now

View attachment 34030

And if you view the source code of the "mysteriously disappeared page", Jermaine Beckford is listed twice.

Code:
<title>Brighton and Hove Albion | Team | First Team | Jermaine Beckford</title>

Code:
  function sendOmnitureLinkRequest(eventsStr, productsStr, prop33Str, prop31StrSuffix) {
    //we always append event16 & event 17
    var eventsStrSuffix = "event16,event17";
    var prop31Str="Jermaine Beckford "; 
    prop31Str += prop31StrSuffix;
    
    var prop32Str = "/ProfilesDetail";

    if (eventsStr != "") {
      eventsStr += ("," + eventsStrSuffix);
    }

Very disappointed if we spank big money on Beckford, really can't see Poyet gambling big on a striker who has proven themself no higher than league one.

I've always rated Beckford. More so than CMS. Great signing if true.

No way. Not unless the club are not serious about trying to make it to the premier. Imagine games last season with barn door billy. Swap him for Beckford, Crofts for Navs, Bridge and Bruno for fullbacks and what a team!!

Just a shame Gus has got rid of Vincelot and Sparrow. I think they really are much better than dicker and Harley.

Why do posters keep comparing Sparrow with Dicker or Harley. Crofts is Sparrow's equivalent as we got him to replace Crofts. Now he's back we no longer need Sparrow.

But his career seems to have gone stale over the last couple of years. He went to Everton and it appeared to all go down hill from there.
