Is he still in Lancing? My mum reckons she saw him buying a sausage roll in Truffles at lunchtime.

I would begin queueing outside the Amex NOW to ensure I got in to see Bobby's return to the Albion if we signed him.*

It is Bobby Zamora we are talking about.

Off the bench when we need some nous, he can shoot, he can pass, he can hold the ball up and can head the ball. Which of our forwards last year could you say that about? Even if he only plays 15 or 20 games/ cameos he brings experience to a forward line that was frankly an embarrassment last season.
I get the impression you imagine he might be our ONLY forward signing, in which case that would be a bit of a disaster. But Uncle Tony is going to fix our shit forward line this close season isn't he
It can't be done on the cheap, we have found that out already.King Kayal

Can u just confirm that it is a false allegation please Bozza
The thing is Carlton Cole did not score over 80 goals for us, if you think only 6000 will only know who is, I think you are wrong. Zamora's name was everywhere in Brighton even my none football supporting Mum knows who Bobby Zamora is. If he came back there would be a massive buzz around the place, and we know he is not the Bob of old, but he still has something to offer.
I know nothing at all, I'm afraid. How I'd love to be dropping all kinds of in-the-know posts on here to hint at something.
I did say to someone at the club a few weeks back that re-signing him would give the fanbase a massive boost in morale, but I doubt they really care what I think.
This is the sort of signing the club would love to make. A 34 year old free transfer to whip up a frenzy for the fans. They know it too and would milk it.
It's certainly wouldn't excite me though or be the sort of signing to concern the rest of the Championship. He would make a good sub and player to have around though. An experienced head to see out games.

And how do u have this info ?
That boost might only last till September after a goalless August with a no win October looming.
I don't think it's a question of whether he could still do a job or not in terms of his ability (he is a somewhat richer man's CoG), it's whether he would be capable of putting enough into a 50+ game season at his age to justify the money coming out of the wage budget. I'm not sure really.

Sadly our attempts to fix our forward line last season weren't done on the cheap.
And BZ won't come cheap either.

People are banging on as if 34 years old is past it, with age comes experience which surely will make BZ a better all round player to the one we had in The Withdean days.
Yes he hasn't scored shed loads of goals but in general he has been playing in poor Premiership sides against top level defenders. His strike rate will improve against average Championship defences in a good side.
Also a lot has been said about not playing two up, if we only play one up BZ can play that and has the experience to service our attacking midfield and wide players.
Just sign him!

Who knows but but it didn't happen for QPR in the Champ in 2013/14...One of those was quite important mind.

All footballers have hefty wage demands.
