COG on his way then....

[dazzer6666]

Heard two separate interviews with him on the radio while in the endless Bridge Car park queue. In both he sounded pretty happy, motivated and enjoying life under CH. Maybe I am clutching at straws because I hope we keep him but he didn't sound like someone on the way out

 

[dangull]

Amazing how a player can look so different under a different manager. He didn't really celebrate his goal much today, so that may be an indication that he knows he's not going to be around here soon.

 

[Soulman]

200k fee agreed according to sun on Sunday. Which is ludicrous. And reports that his family have moves back up north already.

What a shame....

I heard this from a decent source today, gutted if true, has played great at Fulham, Charlton and at home to Ipswich, our player til 2017, so keep him.

 

[marshy68]

The COG that was interviewed post match was definately a COG that is staying with us.

Is there any chance that we'll ship out CMS instead, if this new striker comes in ?

I agree this is a much more likely scenario.

What a delicious, gentle, articulate and intelligent bloke. I bet he reads a broadsheet, not some tits-out redtop or the Daily Mail or Daily Express that you'd find in the houses of thickos like SIMMO SAYS and Das Reich.

Delicious ? that's going to far, but I guess this is Brighton.

Well alright, you've got me there and COG's hairline is a little high for a 'delicious' rating I suppose.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why can't we keep COG to play alongside this striker that is lined up? Rather him than Colunga or CMS, to to be honest.

Baldock? Jury is still out, for me.

 

[Blue3]

Cannot believe he is going anywhere

A few weeks ago COG was the butt of a lot of jokes and peoples ridicule on here, all claiming he wasn't good enough for the championship even though he scored 15 goals for a team at the bottom end last year. Now he has had some really good performances, that's all changed. Is it any wonder he prefers to be up north with his family!

If it's a done deal then it's our loss but wish him well.

Anyone who thinks he should put football before his family really needs to take a good look at themselves.

No way he's going - I thought we'd sacked the mentalists!!??

 

[Brighton Boy]

CMS should go. Baldock will score goals if he plays in a front two or just behind a striker centrally. I would be really disappointed in the club if we let COG go however, I think he will probably be Sheffield bound. Will be disappointing.

 

[1066familyman]

Doesn't seem like they know much more than we do. Only time will tell I suppose, but if I was having money on it I'd still bet he's going and we've got another striker lined up.

[Diego Napier]

If true, yet again this is piss poor management by the club. It takes us ages to get a decent striker firing for us and then we sell him for a pittance. You couldn't make it up. An absolute shambles and I doubt very much whether Best will be a patch on O'Grady even when fit.

I thought the club moved to sell him some 2 months ago after the collective wisdom of the NSC Brains trust determined that he was sh1t?

I'll be honest Drew, and there will be posts to back this up, I liked him from the start. In fact I'd go as far as to say he's the best hold it up centre forward we've had in the Amex era. His lack of pace is more than adequately replaced with great awareness, strength, control and distribution.

I completely agree massive loss if we let him go, but I'm seriously hoping Hughton and the club see what potential he has for us.

100%. He was immense today…..if he goes for anything less than a few million, it'll be the third ginormous co*k-up in recent times - Murray, Barnes, O'Grady….don't we want to get to the PremierLeague??

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

We'd be mad to let him go now, even if someone else is coming in. Shift CMS out on loan if necessary to make way for the new striker. Feels like the Barnes situation all over again, shoot ourselves in the foot for the sake of a few hundred grand.

I think that the fact that he is earning probably in he region of 400-500k can be considered looking after his family, and he wasn't forced to sign in the summer. It's not as if he is being asked to move them somewhere horrible or potentially dangerous - the south coast has to be one of the nicest locations going.

Kids are very adaptable and make friends quickly, and I'm sure his wife can put up with it for 2-3 years in return for the footballer's wife lifestyle.

This thread is so so soooo funny.

A month ago NSC was desperate to hound out Hyypia and Burke because Big Chris was so unbelievable shitehouse.

Now NSC can't believe the Albion would be so stupid as to off load CoG for less than it paid for him.

By my reckoning that must mean Chris was a quality bit of business, by...

We've seen what he can do now, so what do you suggest?
