I'm guessing the thread is about Hyppia saying we need a striker on loan to replace ULLOA

Well looks like we're getting a keeper on loan for the injured STOCKDALE

Albion manager Sami Hyypia is desperate for a goalscoring replacement for Leo Ulloa.
Hyypia was unaware of Ulloa’s presence amongst the 4,000 travelling fans in Wednesday’s 2-0 exit from the Capital One Cup at Tottenham.
But he admits they have missed the Argentinian’s goals following his £8 million move to Leicester in July.
Ulloa hit 23 goals in 50 Championship outings for the Seagulls prior to Hyypia’s appointment.
He has also scored five goals in nine Premier League games for Leicester.
The strikers signed since Ulloa’s departure – Chris O’Grady, Sam Baldock and Adrian Colunga – are seeking to end a combined league goal drought spanning 23 appearances at Bournemouth tomorrow night (5.15pm).
Hyypia told The Argus: “I didn’t know that he (Ulloa) was there. I don’t know if we haven’t been able to replace him.
“He scored a lot of goals last year and every team needs a goalscorer.”
Hyypia remains tight-lipped about Albion’s activity in the loan transfer window, which closes on November 27, as he considers another rotation of his striker options at Bournemouth.
Sam Baldock was Cup-tied for the trip to Spurs, which included a late substitute appearance by Craig Mackail-Smith after four matches out with hamstring trouble.

Not sure if this is Naylors fault for writing it or Sami's poor English but if I were reporting the conversation, I think I would have tried harder to understand WTF Sami was on about.

Exactly. It's a non story.
Prematch talk,
Question: did you know Ulloa was watching Brighton on Wednesday night?
Answer: no I didn't but I am desperate to get a striker in to replace him.

Will selling our top striker to satisfy FFP have been worth it, if we are in League 1 next season.
I literally couldn't disagree more. We are in a very similar situation to the pre-Ulloa days: Lots of bluster, but no monster in the box.

Whilst we're having a moan about the Argus why did they feel it necessary to mention that the lad who very sadly passed away (http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/1157...ay_after_death_of_Alex_Maynard_from_Brighton/) had served a prison sentence? What relevance is that to his passing or the fact that his pals have raised a bucket load of cash in his honour?
