Such as who?

Not at all. Any time we had a decent player at Withdean, we always knew that we'd lose out if other clubs came in for them. And when competing to sign players too. Even now I still find it hard to shed that expectation really. I'll wait until it's confirmed before I get too into the idea of...

You see, this is where you let yourself down. Presumably there is some sort of salary increase involved, which of us wouldn't go for that? But, like it or not- and I'm by no means one of those who has delusions about the status of the Albion within the game- we are, as it stands, a more...

The guy who tweeted that has a beard himself. Is it acceptable to call someone a beardy git (& also a "mercenary beardy ****" in another tweet) if you are yourself a facial hairer?

HAVE we???

Meanwhile, somebody somewhere is conducting a google search of the term "Posh Spice" for something that rhymes with Grabban.

Does he still have that little beard, do we know?

You're probably right. I was probably still too busy sulking about the penalty to notice his good work. On this note, I must still be scarred by years of players rejecting us due to the Withdean factor, as I still find myself occasionally surprised and delighted when it becomes apparent a...

Wasn't sure about the guy when he played at the Alex recently, ignoring that shambles of a penalty, they created very little & he looked a bit isolated. Then again, apparently he normally plays at the front of a 4-5-1 formation so at least he should be able to work our system out. Maybe that's...

The Bournemouth Echo is reporting that the bid has been accepted & the players has expressed a desire to talk to the Albion, stating that he's on his way to the Amex for discussions. Not a done deal but looking positive.

The Argus & the Bournemouth Echo are sister papers I think, so expect Naylor & the Echo guy to be in regular communications & pretty sure of their sources.

Cook was the one I'd have preferred not to lose, as he's the one who had potential to go far, whereas Elphick was never in the same class. But he was about fourth choice at that time, and was offered regular first team football, only one level down, and presumably for a pretty decent wage...

That depends on whether you think a £1.1m release clause is "low" for a player with half a decent season at this level in his entire career, after floating round the lower leagues relatively unsuccessfully until last season. I'm not saying he's crap, far from it, and it appears he's still...

Back to the original subject, Grabban has had half a season in the Championship & has scored a few goals, but nothing spectacular. Am I the only one who thinks a £1.1m minimum fee for that is ludicrous?
