.....And apparently he hates the Albion.......has tweeted comments apparently
That's quite some hatred if he's prepared to go to Hull.

I guess coming from Burgess Hill he's already used to life in the grim north.

Face it, if he had been signed by BHA, even for the DS, there'd have been a rousing chorus of "Why are we signing a striker from Burgess Hill? We're tinpot. No ambition. " etc, etc. on here.

"One for the future" is only used on NSC for an insult and to make jokes.

Did he play any youth football at Brighton? He played youth football for Hangleton Rangers and Hove Rivervale so assuming he must have had an invite at some point in previous years!!

Bit like the Irish lad a few months back! Do we have a traitor on our scouting system? Seems we are doing the donkey work for others yet again! This guy was worth a punt and should have easily been a Dev. squad option! Transfer policy is far too cautious and is really starting to show! Not many young strikers at the club for ages now!!

If he is good enough for hull wonder why we haven't taken a gamble on him for our dev squad.
I know Chapman still has close ties with the club so we must of been aware of him.

Problem being that our chairman had a hand in getting Wilkins sacked. Which pi$$ed Chappers off and lead to him falling out of love with football for some time. So, not surprised he's not doing the Albion a favour.

Is it a safe assumption that whenever a player is signed by any club (Championship up) people will ask why we didn't sign them first?
