Found this on a LFC twitter account
@TheTotalLFC: Nathan Eccleston set to join Brighton on a Season long loan with an option to buy. #LFC

Before anyone jumps on the bandwagon too, I have a low post count blah blah blah but look at the date I joined. I read NSC rather than post. Only put this on as something I saw not what I am saying will happen. Passing on info that is all.

Never heard of him. Position? Any good?

Striker who was on loan at Rochdale last season. He's also been on loan at Charlton and Huddersfield and not done well on any of his loan spells so I'm hoping there is no substance to this rumour.

Striker, hasn't set the world alight and seemed to have got caught up with Maria Fowler after her split from Lee Croft....!

Might be something in this as our new player analyst has come from Liverpool.

Liverpool did say he was free to find a new club a few weeks so, on a permenent deal though ?

Based on Wikipedia I assume ?

For the stats, yeah. He was quite highly rated once I think but he's never fulfilled his potential. I suppose he could turn out as a good player for the future but I'd hope he's not the main striker we're after.

take no notice - any legit transfer info is good

the problem with this one is it started on the transfer rumours website and although there must be some correct guesses/information on there it's pretty few and far between.

It could certainly fit in with the something different that Gus spoke of. The lad started as a forward/traditional striker but is being channeled to play as an attacking midfielder a bit like Ashley Barnes.

He would be available on a free according to the LFC sites so don't quite understand the loan to buy bit of the rumour - another bit that goes against it.

Didn't do well at Rochdale, Hudds or Charlton over the past couple of seasons but he is young and if he has found a new role and way of playing he could still develop to be more than useful. Would be sensible if we were interested to bring him in to the DS - can't see he would make the first team squad
