Anybody saying they'd rather have Leon is either nuts, a joker or lying.
I don't think Shola is right for Brighton, I think he should have left Newcastle long before he did and played first team football. If he did I think he'd be a far better player than he is.

So from trying to sign South Americans for 7 million we are now looking at a player in his mid thirties who was not that good at his peak? If this happens, and he's our January striker signing, I'll be very suspicious that the alleged chasing of the two South Americans was just a ruse to get 1901 renewals over the line. I wish I had the confidence of some on here that we are going to sign someone much better than Amoebi by the end of the window, love you to be right.

I really don't think Brighton are 'looking at' Ameobi, or need our advice. See my original post. I certainly don't think any 34 year old is he sort of person we would consider as our 'Charlie Austin'. However, as others have explained (I wasn't sure myself), he has qualities (big target man) that could get us some goals in some games, changing the approach as needs must, etc. And he is out of contract, and yet is still scoring. So he's worth considering, perhaps . . .
Unlike Best (serial cockwomble) and Heskey (age 38), FFS!!!! What a rediculous way of dismissing Ameobi.
That said, having done a bit more research, Charlton and Wolves trialled him and decided 'no' so perhaps whatever he had has now seeped out of him . . . . with that in mind, I guess is its a no from me.

Ameobi is NOT the right man for us.

Is he the right man for anyone?

If everything else fails he would be better to have on the bench to bring on than Manu at the moment. Baldocks recurring injury again is a worry though.

Managers know players and tend to go back to them when needed and I doubt he would break the bank. Could he do a job? I dont know only CH has any idea.

We really don't need a 34 1/2 year old striker as the the younger backup to Zamora do we ?

Yep, he did play under CH. Season makes interesting reading. Only 4 defeats, 442, mixed bag of talent/characters, less than £3m spent on transfers.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009–10_Newcastle_United_F.C._season
Worked well with Leon Best, eh?

how many of our current squad had hughton worked with before signing them?

It didnt but CH still went back to somebody who he knew. If they got on well I wouldnt rule it out if other options fall through.
