On the loanee thread yesterday! https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/2023-24-loanee-tracker-thread.402563/page-25#post-10986301

They have their reservations too! In spite of that, he was MOTM for many of them! SPL football, eh?

Keep up! :wink: :) https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/2023-24-loanee-tracker-thread.402563/page-15#post-10890263 (The link is correct, even though it looks like it's not related at all! - some sort of glitch in the programme)

No idea! I guess we'd have whatever was most beneficial - be that a recall option, or a contractual commitment to buy for a pre-agreed non-negotiable price. TBH, can't see much in it for us with an option to buy agreement.

He's doing well at Rangers, but I'd have thought Undav was higher up the pecking order if we are going to recall a striker. Rangers fans rated him their best outfield player today (GK was MOTM, which seems reasonable in a 0-0 draw!)

Well, they seem pretty pleased about it! https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/welcome-to-rangers-abdallah-sima.244585/ How long before someone goes on there and gives them the run-down on Sima from the Stoke perceptive!

I am as aware as anybody else that we can't expect to make a profit on every player who passes through our books - but we can't afford to lose too many either. It's increasingly looking likey that we won't recoup the £7M we spent on Sima (and if I'm wrong I'll be absolutely delighted) ... but...

Third. ....and are we really getting our £7M back in loan fees? It hasn't been mentioned as a loan-to-buy, has it? - I don't think SPL teams (apart from Celtic) can afford £7M anyway.

So did I. He looked like he was trying. Mind you, a shire horse would have been quicker (but you can't blame him for that).

.....and 49 of them were scored at levels abovd League 2. Your derogatory point about him is......................? He wasn't a success at Brighton, it is true, and I wouldn't want him in the squad now. He did have the misfortune to play in Hopeless Hyypia's team of other hopeless failures...

Did he ever actually play for Thonon Evian? 'Prefers a return to France' - does this suggest not so keen on English football (which would be infortunate), or am I reading too much into it? No confirmation yet - wonder if there's any chance of a late switch to a Championship club?

Two league appearances, 73 minutes, two in the league cup (50 minutes in total). Sadly, not been the best of loans so far.

We could loan him back to Slavia Prague, but I can't see much point in that. Potential bit of game time, I suppose, but not really any progress. If he gets fit and ready to play, he might as well go back to Stoke for the rest of the season.

Looks like Sima at least knows where the goal is. £20M for Campbell? Well, I guess Newcastle can afford it, but for £20M I imagine there'd be plenty of Stoke fans volunteering to drive him there!

The same definition as the people on here screaming that we need to sign a striker, and we're doomed if we don't and the club don't know what they're doing.! :facepalm: Do I really need to name names? :lolol:

That was just off the top of my head, without research - I'm sure there are more! They are, of course, relatively rare, but no reason why one can't turn up at Brighton one day.

But, but, but ....... they're not STRIKERS!!!!!

Just off the top of my head - Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Charlton, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney ...............................

No? Wait for more to follow ......... Still, I'm sure in ten years time some old duffers and dinosaurs will be moaning about Brighton going into yet another Europa Conference campaign without a striker, and we haven't even managed to buy Gary Goals. And by the way, with their money, Man. City...

Time is coming when strikers are as archaic as wing halfs and inside forwards. Us - and Manchester City - are just ahead of the game, that's all.
