It's seems totally random that someone working on a job at a relatives house has come up with this information, and that could easily happen. The one thing that's not totally random though, is that the poser is you.

Why is it you?
1) Is it just coincidence that this genuine piece of information has fallen in your lap?
2) Do your friends like winding you up because you're the most gullible person they've ever met?
3) Are you making this up?

Assuming you're not going to admit to number 3, has this person who called you ever given you information on player signings before, and if so, what did they say and were they right?

Go easy on him; this could be right, and everyone is in a good mood today.

Just had a call from somebody working at one of his relatives house in Guildford who was told he is signing for us, an experienced CB. Dont know how good and accurate it is just thought I would pass it on.

Interesting. This sounds quite possible.

BensGrandad · Aug 4, 2015

For the record which explains my association. The person who was told it is an ex Woking player who is well known in local circles, in fact I reccomended him to Brighton when he was playing for Woking but he couldnt afford the drop in wages as he was getting paid by Woking plus had his building business. He also has at least one ex pro working for him who played against BHA at The Goldstone. So football is a very topical conversation with them.

leave BG alone he just needs a cuddle
and you never know he could be right :kiss:

its funny that you say that
many years ago someone I was working with who played Sussex football told me that our next manager would be a certain Allan Mullery a week before it was announced
hope you are right on this one mate

BensGrandad · Aug 4, 2015

If not so be it, but this is a discussion board about anything but based mainly on football and BHA and I thought it was interesting and thought others might also.

Everyone remembers where they were the day that [MENTION=3887]Uncle Spielberg[/MENTION] finally tipped up a winning horse.

This could be another one of those rare moments in life.

33 isn't that old for a defender and looking on Wiki he was Cardiff's player of the season before they were promoted to the PL. He still has a year to go on his Huddersfield contract and played in most of their games last season so I would be surprised if he was being released.

The thing is I genuinely do remember where I was that day and I seem to recall he followed it up with two, maybe three winners on the spin. Sadly, that's been it ever since.

I know it could be. But I didn't give him his reputation, he earned it.

It's an interesting shout. Potentially a bit cheaper than someone like Keogh and hopefully will cover us for a year or two while Rea develops. I'd also hope it means we could focus more money on getting the wingers we need. Only question mark is why Huddersfield would let him go, unless he wants to move back down south.

I must admit, I read his post, found it interesting, and then thought "such a pity it was from perma-wrong BensGrandad". But who knows, maybe one day he'll get something right?

Parma-wrong. Amazing.

He'd be one of their higher earners. Might just want him off the wage bill.

Just out of interest, is he any good. I'm not being funny, but Greer plays almost every week but that doesn't mean he's our best defender.

Would have thought he would be a first teamer rather than cover.
He was good at Cardiff and Palace as someone else said, pretty solid.

Yep, another signing hot on the heels of Bobby, (either Mark Hudson or Ben Marshall will do me), and it could be a season changer.

Codner's Wallop · Aug 4, 2015

IF (I say again, IF) he was to sign it's a reasonable addition to the squad.

Had it been five years earlier, it would have been a great signing.

Bozza · Aug 4, 2015

Aaron Hughes was perfect for us last year - a very decent, experienced defender at this level.

If we do keep Dunk, it's not inconceivable that we'd want someone similar in the squad.
