Brighton and Hove Albion are waiting to see if they will be able to re-sign Cardiff winger Craig Conway in January.

The Scotland international has impressed during his stay at the Amex Stadium, but his deal expired after the weekend's win over Middlesbrough.

Brighton assistant boss Nathan Jones told The Argus: "We have got five that can play wide, including Craig, and he offers something different.

"On the pitch he has been what we knew but off the pitch he has been phenomenal. He fitted in so quickly.

"That was a conscious effort. His wife was pregnant but he moved his family straight down. The loan market is very important and you have to be thorough.

"There have been some we've enquired about who haven't quite fancied it, so we put them to one side.

"We don't want them, we want the ones who are desperate to play for us. He was one I had earmarked before I even came here and he has done brilliantly."

Make what you will of It :moo:

If we try and sign Conway how much do people think he'll cost?

I'd hazard a guess at a million.

£500k I reckon.

If he came here, I wonder if we'd try to offload one of Buckley or Lua Lua?

Yeah, you're probably right Simster. A cool million might be a tad heavy. FFP and all that jazz. £750,000 :lolol:

He's out of contract at the end of the season, so no way £500k. I reckon £250k or a loan until the end of the season

Better or worse than Noone who went the other way for what? 1.15M wasn't it?

We might be getting a bargain at any of the above (tho age a factor I guess)

Interesting. I'm guessing a loan would be out of the question then for the final period of his Cardiff contract. A few hundred thousand should do the trick. Just hope no other Championship team steal him off us. Sounds like he has enjoyed his time with us thus far, which is a good sign.

If we are the only team in for him then it would be a possibility. Cardiff would be happy to have his wages covered if he isn't in their plans.

Hope we do get him, really impressed me and different kind of winger option to the others.

I would agree with that and have been really impressed with him so far.

Funny what a couple of games does....first few he wasn't settled, wasn't his wife due? And people slated him, now he's the messiah!

Bearing in mind the millions Cardiff are getting, I don't expect they will be too bothered about 250K. Loan till end of season then sign

Not so sure, the owner seems to be counting his pennies now!

If McKay is on the verge of quitting, as reported, could affect our chances of getting him back in Jan

This is the most interesting line in that piece. Suggests that Nathan Jones has a far bigger say in player identification / recruitment than most would have imagined.

Reckon we might sign him on an 18 month deal for a nominal fee. Whether it's Mackay or a new manager he isnt going to break into their named squad so they will be happy to offload. £250K max.
