UPDATED: Dale Stephens SIGNS 3.5 Year Deal

[n1 gull]

The problem is his name, it just isn't flair.
I shall now think of him as D Stepheno, much better

 

[severnside gull]

£500k plus another £200k in add-ons reportedly.
Fantastic deal even if it is money we only had to spend because of injury.

Cash still left over from selling Barnes to pay wages

 

[RexCathedra]

1200 people on the board. The end of the transfer window produces traffic in excess of all but a few match days.

Good work Albion sounds like a good deal for us all round

BW has added 2000 to his post count

It seems that Brighton fans on NSC fully believe that you're only as good as your last game. Therefore, Bridcutt is shit, Ullao is shit, Buckley is shit, and Conway is shit hot.

Hmmm...that's a tad harsh.

Bridcutt - Most people seem to think that Liam didn't play to his full capabilities in his last few games for us and was holding back. They also don't like the fact that he put in a transfer request and appears to have said he wasn't focussed enough to play for us. So, this is more to do with having a p*ss poor attitude when he wanted away (the more so when you compare his antics with those of Ashley or Bennett, both of whom gave their all up to the end) than suddenly turning into a sh*t player.

Ulloa - Most people are worried about his lack of goalscoring since his return. Has he lost half a yard or pace? Has his first touch just deserted him? Is he not getting the service he needs? It's this latter point that most people seem excited about Conway - he delivers better balls for Leo to get on the end of, than our current folk. So, people aren't saying he's rubbish. they're just saying he's not scoring as many goals as he used to - how do we fix that?

Buckley - Here, more people are saying he's crocked. "He's a sicknote", "his hamstrings constantly go" etc. But even these criticisms are not based on just his last game... they've been there all season (at least).

Conway - people are saying that he got better and better for us. Whether you think that's from a low start to being just average, or from average to a pretty decent player for us depends on your perspective. But people are positive because they hope we sign a player who seems to want to play for us and when he did was consistently improving.

Great player, I'm happy with that signing!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Really happy with this despite the fact I knew nothing of him until yesterday. Great to get some young English talent in the side as well, something we could do with more of.

Any player that attempts an overhead kick pass on the halfway line is fine by me.

Trying not correspond with you to much as people might talk but fantastic bit of business and we haven't even touched the Bridcutt money yet

 

[Teddy Maybank]

Goodbye Liam. Thanks for everything. You were with us longer than I thought you would be. No hard feelings from me. Big welcome to Dale.

 

[Rookie]

My knowledge of Mr Stephens is limited so is he a Bridcutt type replacement (anchor man in front of the back 4 type thing) or is he a Crofts replacement (box to box) or a bit of both (if that is possible). Possibly more important has he got pace which is something the team is crying out for

 

[Sam Ovett]

Coincidentally shared a plane with him (and the rest of the Charlton team) in the summer from Spain to Heathrow. Stuck in my head because I spent the entire flight trying to remember Stephens' name specifically, remembering he was that Oldham winger (thought he played on the wing for them) that signed on loan for Saints before moving to Charlton. Coincidence

You don't believe that tho do you

That was brilliant!

As good a post as I've seen in a while.

Can't argue with any of that

 

[Zukey Seagull]

What position does he play? Reading above some saying his a winger on cm. ??

What happened to him being desperate to move back north?
