Ah, but does that offset the signings of Kemy and Toko?

Not sure the reason people wanted to hound out Burke and Hyypia was because of COG, there were more pressing reasons

strong and stable with me, or...
It's different voices as well you know Stat!
Very very sure the signing of Chris was one of the reasons.
Throw Ince into the mix, along with the first glimpses of positivity from Baldock & Holla, and by the end of the season it just might.
That's even before we get onto Dunk & Stockdale's replacements, waiting in the wings.

One of the reasons, sure, for some. NSC is made up of many individuals

What it tells us is that our previous manager was so shit, that many people didn't see O'Grady's potential or other players for that matter. Most of us knew SH had us all over the shop, but the recent form of COG, Ince & Holla isn't a stick to beat fans who misjudge certain players, it is confirmation of how poor our previous manager was!!!!
Nobody was looking for potential in O'Grady.
He was just a poor journeyman lump, from a relegated side that was symptomatic of the Albion's spiral downwards, while we paid top dollar to watch.
Sure SH was poor (and I was one of the last to finally admit it) but nobody was looking to give the players a pass.

I think you're taking an NSC minority, and trying to turn it into something bigger than it was. Sure some people didn't like him, I don't remember it being a tide of opinion compared to everything else that was going on.

He bloody gave everything today, it may be limited in comparison with the opposition today but I loved every minute of watching COG today.
Half of my chear for that goal was for the Albion half was for him, he deserved it.
How can you not love a player like him. If he does go I wish him every success.

Kenwyne Jones ? Cardiff City fire sale continues

I think I'd rather have COG, somehow I don't see Jones chasing back to defend in the 85th minute and turning around to lead the attack.

said it before anyone who can score 15 goals for a rubbish team like Barnsley were last season must be able to do it for us

Apologies for the elongated post
Regardless of previous posters (or future ones) I'd like to take this opportunity to say how proud I was of COG and the team today, after Walcott scored in what seemed like the first second of play, I am sure I was not alone in expecting a massive drubbing for the Albion.
They (unlike earlier this season) did not let their heads go down, they stood up and got on with the job, how many of us, in all honesty would have expected to lose by one goal, and, in my opinion, to be the more attacking team in the last 15 minutes.
I don't know how many teams have put 2 goals past Arsenal this season and to be honest, I dont care, all I know is we did, Brighton and Hove Albion, 19th in the Championship, my team!
I live up in Liverpool (works a bugger and they have no consideration for your allegiances), and I wasn't able to get to the game, so I watched the game as did many, in the pub, with my mates. Bearing in mind the last time we played Liverpool, you can imagine the ribbing I was getting, especially after 2 minutes. At the final whistle, I was being congratulated on the performance, considering I wasn't playing, i was pleased as punch. To those I was with, COG and Ince were the stand out players, although Caldy did raise the question, is the smile tattooed on?, would he have got more decisions if he looked upset about the tackles against him.
They couldn't believe the position we are in, we play far better than a team supposedly battling against relegation, and, the main point as made to me, if we had played the first half, as we did the second, we could well have won the match.
Call me delusional, I am a Brighton supporter after all, but given today's performance, WE are capable of moving forward with the current squad, and we are capable of holding our own in the premier league. Whether or not we can reach the promised land is another question.
For me, COG could become a pivotal part of the team, as was stated before, his hold up play is second to none, I for one would be far more interested in signing someone to play alongside him, rather than sign someone instead of him.
If your interested, I was never one calling for COG to be sold, I was of the opinion he was never given the chance under SH, as such, I tend to only formulate an opinion over several games, and so far, COG, seems to be a pretty good buy! Letting him go would be the wrong decision IMHO

I hope he stays, he is a good player. He just didn't fit in, in Hyypia's "system", and that was the reason he looked bad before.

I think he will go for the £500K he cost us. The Sun talks bollocks at the best of times.
If Aspinall says the player we're after is way better then it's because he is. Aspinall is a tongue tied **** but he is no bad judge of a footballer.
Have faith.
