[Albion] Zac Sturge

[Not Andy Naylor]

Sussex Live seems to be running an old story about Bundesliga clubs wanting Albion u18 defender Zac Sturge, who has refused a new contract offer. But the article keeps refusing to load, so the simplest thing would seem to be to ask NSC what’s going on. Anything new from the Sun story last month?

 

[Jack Straw]

Never mind all that. When are we going to renew our central defensive partnership at BHASVIC on Sunday mornings? At long last, I'm back (until the next injury)!

Its just a few quotes from Mark Beard about what a good player he thinks he is. Nothing new on his contract status. Rehashes the Bundesliga rumours and the "reports" (ie: The Sun) he's turned down an Albion contract.

Newcastle are preparing a bid.

Strange article just a rehash of the previous story from a few weeks back.

Is he injured at the minute, doesn’t seem to have played recently

 

[CheeseRolls]

When I read it earlier, the only player to give him any trouble was Carlton Palmer at Man City!

I can only conclude from your summary, that someone pointed out this rather obvious gaffe and they have corrected it.

Last night I think a read that Zac had finally signed a new contract after convincing him that he has a future at the club. I can't remeber where I read it. Has anyone else seen it? Is this the first real David Weir bit of magic we have seen?

He was listed as "Extended" on the retained list so he will stay at the club I guess.

I hope so, he seems highly rated and apparently we turned down two offers frpm Chelsea in January.

When did he change from 'Zak' to 'Zac'? All his entries in Google searches, and the club website, still have him as a 'Zak'.

Its his nickname. Zak "Zac" Sturge.

I think I might have just wrote it how the opening poster wrote it.

More than likely Zak Sturge's agent is a Sun reader, and regularly reads Dear Deidrie......

"Dear Deadrie,
I have this friend who wants to travel to Europe, but his current employer won't let him.
Any advice, please"

I hope this is right.

Sturge is being lined up for Cucu’s role. He is clearly a few years away but hopefully we can keep Cucu long enough until Zac is ready.

"Maximilliano Duarte [MENTION=22221]Max[/MENTION]iDuartePY
Brighton youngster Zak Sturge has signed a new deal with the club despite interest from Wolfsburg and Leverkusen. The 17 y/o originally rejected a new contract back in January but has reconsidered after it was made clear he’s in the clubs long term plans."

It says Extended on the PL Retained list so perhaps we had an option of a further year?

Given the account bio calls themselves “a freelance Paraguayan journalist” , lists their location as “Uckfield”, says things like Enciso is in “England” when he’s photographed at the same time in a South American airport then perhaps not.

Perhaps t'internet and Google has reached Uckfield then? - he turned out to be right (about Zak Sturge anyway!)

I've just seen this post. I played CB/sweeper for BHASVIC in the mid-Sussex midweek league in the 76/77 season when we won the league against such titans as United Dairies and the Fire Brigade. Gordon Hook's PE assistant (can't remember the name) captained the team.
