I will be upset to see him go, I do not think Poyet gave him a go at all. Great player for us and its a shame to see him a victim of fourtune if this is true. Also he is on a good wage, another sign we must have money to burn if he is loaned out for less.

Did we refuse the 1.5 million transfer fee, he kept the club afloat.

£1.5 Million...
and to go to Celtic.
Not often I agree with HB&B but he's right-Virgo doesn't deserve ridicule.

What's wrong with that? Any footballer with half a brain would do that. It's their livelihood. Would it be so wrong to change companies for a much higher salary in any other type of job? He'd have been mad not to go to Celtic.
Good luck to hime wherever he goes.

Here we go again, a professional footballer does not have a job for life, why shouldn't a player make as much as they can ?
100% right.

He will always be a legend in my eyes 4 that goal against swindon! Good luck virg's!
I'm not a Virgo fan but if he is going, don't hold out much hope for Hawkins then!!!!
As I see it, Virgo still plays like he is a novice, diving headlong into tackles and not being in control.
Still, apart from the last 18 months, he will remain an Albion legend for his previous exploits (and the fact his fee probably kept us going).

No. You see, at the time when had a good squad and could make progress in the league we seemed to sell our better players, if we had stopped this cancer then we’d be fighting in the championship, Sell out crowds, more revenue, more money to pay off debts instead of selling players and now lower crowds and not reaching the play-offs etc.
If we hadn’t sold them then we wouldn’t been any worse off. That’s my opinion, I’m not an accounted so can’t give you the full facts on why. And why turn down 1.5 million for someone who had a couple of one off games.
Virgo is slow, has no skill at all, and when he left for celtic he was thrown up front as a target man as he was the defender not good enough to be in the back four. The fact that gordon s spent £1.5 Million on him does not change any of that and means one of two things. Gordon S knows f all about football or the city of london police should make a few enquiries - or both

I suspect Strachan knows a bit more than you about football. Either that or hhe did us a huge favour at the time.
Why can't you just wish him well? You don't have to be an ungracious tosser about it.

I have to say the £1.5 Million transfer seemed very strange in valuation and have always suspected several people profited from it.
Brighton Boy and in my mind remains an Albion hero. Best of luck for the future.
