It's a worrying sign as to the mood of Albion fans I know that I wasn't actually sure you were joking until the last two lines...

Sessengon is the only one I would consider

Instead of old prem players wanting a payday, we should be considering the young players who don't make it at a top club. Better wages and hungry to impress

If we want a fourth choice and nobody worth having is available, I'd rather throw in a youngster as a 4th option. They might not be any good but you never know until they're given a chance, they wouldn't get much game time anyway and would at the very least be keen to prove themselves - more so than a random 34yo mercenary whose legs have gone and is coasting to retirement. Or Leon Best.

Norwich interested ?
I don't think we want a 4th choice striker, all of this has come about because we need a 1st choice striker, and they ain't cheap.

how many of these deals actually exist? If I was a player I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole....just go and play in USA/middle east/australia/China with a guaranteed income and easy standard of play

A player I really rated at Blackburn but who seems to have gone backwards since is Junior Hoilett. Seems that QPR offered him around 10 grand a week to stay. Been playing as a winger but could play on the left of a front three or maybe off of a front man. Much of his decent work at Blackburn was coming inside from the left so he's not a 'chalk on the boots' wide man.

These "free agents" must have the worst actual Agents in the world. "Yeah, mate, I even tried telling Norwich that Brighton were interested in you.... yeah, that old one... but still no dice. I'll get back to you once I've heard from Exeter. Don't ring me, I'll ring you......."
I did see on Twitter that Ted Striker was available from Macho Grande.
Missed out on that one
Striker.....striker,....striker.........STRIKE HER

I would like us to sign a striker not a top name but better than Manu just to bring on as an option if our staring two are struggling and to add perhaps a new dimension to the game. At the moment we can only replace one of them but not even that against Brentford.

Bobby is still a free agent - would love him back here for 1 more season as backup - still oozes quality.

25 shirt still free. Surely a rare pay as you play deal is an option if he can still run.

Leon Best?

Would make sense. He's better than Baldock and Manu and obviously loves it here and wanted to stay on.

Better option than we have but could he even do 20 mins now?

Oh for heaven's sake! We won't be signing anybody until January* - let's just get on with it! And please let's just let Bobby's poor old knees get on with enjoying their retirement!
*This is purely my opinion, not based on any inside knowledge at all; I still think I'm right though!
