strikers who are free agents

[Gullflyinghigh]

Well, as long as we sign someone - anyone - sharpish, even if they're not as good as what we've got or CH doesn't want them. We've simply got to sign someone before our season falls apart and we find ourselves in a relegation struggle. The fact that free agents are generally free agents because nobody wants them must not be allowed to cloud our judgement!

On the other hand, we could just get on and try and win matches with the very decent squad we've got.

It's a worrying sign as to the mood of Albion fans I know that I wasn't actually sure you were joking until the last two lines...

 

[Seasidesage]

Sessengon is the only one I would consider

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Instead of old prem players wanting a payday, we should be considering the young players who don't make it at a top club. Better wages and hungry to impress

 

[brightonrock]

If we want a fourth choice and nobody worth having is available, I'd rather throw in a youngster as a 4th option. They might not be any good but you never know until they're given a chance, they wouldn't get much game time anyway and would at the very least be keen to prove themselves - more so than a random 34yo mercenary whose legs have gone and is coasting to retirement. Or Leon Best.

I don't think we want a 4th choice striker, all of this has come about because we need a 1st choice striker, and they ain't cheap.

Not a bad idea in theory and if it were 'pay per game' that would be an added incentive to stay fit, score goals to get more games.

how many of these deals actually exist? If I was a player I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole....just go and play in USA/middle east/australia/China with a guaranteed income and easy standard of play

 

[Betfair Bozo]

A player I really rated at Blackburn but who seems to have gone backwards since is Junior Hoilett. Seems that QPR offered him around 10 grand a week to stay. Been playing as a winger but could play on the left of a front three or maybe off of a front man. Much of his decent work at Blackburn was coming inside from the left so he's not a 'chalk on the boots' wide man.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Norwich interested ?

Only if we are......!

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

These "free agents" must have the worst actual Agents in the world. "Yeah, mate, I even tried telling Norwich that Brighton were interested in you.... yeah, that old one... but still no dice. I'll get back to you once I've heard from Exeter. Don't ring me, I'll ring you......."

 

[DJ NOBO]

I did see on Twitter that Ted Striker was available from Macho Grande.
Missed out on that one

Striker.....striker,....striker.........STRIKE HER

 

[BensGrandad]

I would like us to sign a striker not a top name but better than Manu just to bring on as an option if our staring two are struggling and to add perhaps a new dimension to the game. At the moment we can only replace one of them but not even that against Brentford.

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Bobby is still a free agent - would love him back here for 1 more season as backup - still oozes quality.

25 shirt still free. Surely a rare pay as you play deal is an option if he can still run.

 

[TSB]

Leon Best?

Would make sense. He's better than Baldock and Manu and obviously loves it here and wanted to stay on.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Striker.....striker,....striker.........STRIKE HER

Sorry you've lost me

 

[BensGrandad]

Better option than we have but could he even do 20 mins now?

 

[GT49er]

Oh for heaven's sake! We won't be signing anybody until January* - let's just get on with it! And please let's just let Bobby's poor old knees get on with enjoying their retirement!
