Hemed and Baldock were both signed to play as strikers in the Championship. Both did so very well, and as a result, the club was promoted to the Premier league.

I'm not sure either can justifiably be held up as evidence of 'shit striker recruitment'. :shrug:

Fair enough, maybe you’d like to list the ones we bought/brought through the development squad who actually kicked on and ended up going on to better things than Brighton? Or even kicking on at Brighton will do. Murray and Barnes got the heave ho effectively so that was pretty shit. I am thinking Ulloa and Zamora being the only ones in 20 odd years. I reckon suggesting we are pretty shit at striker recruitment is not too harsh given the time period we are covering.

Dunk out, Knocky out, Murray out. Is Potter going to be tasked with repeating his use of youth again as we sell off our first team, just like Swansea last season? :lolol:

Would be good if we had rumours of decent players incoming to balance all the outgoing ones

For someone who can't normally remember what day it is, I've been giving this way too much though.

Here's the criteria:-

- Striker.
- Either came through the yoof set up, or arrived from a club 'beneath' the Albion.
- Played well.
- Sold on for a profit to a team in a higher division.
(Or got to a higher division with said player)

The obvious answers

Ward
Zamora
&
Murray

I'm pretty sure Micky Small is in (and might even be a pointless answer)

I can't remember where we came in Terry Connor and Lee Chapman's careers.


Oh oh this is exciting I think I've remembered the obvious one I always forget.

Michael Robinson.




Chailey are you going to play the ball this time or still go after the man?

Ulloa - still our biggest ever profit on a player. Bought from Spanish 2nd Division so arguably "beneath" the Albion.
and Ashley Barnes of course.

Surely he would consider it if he was offered a deal that would earn him a decent lump sum to boost his pension.

No chance, IMO, at least not to Cardiff.

He's lived in Brighton for donkey's years and clearly loves it. He's earned well throughout his career, and has another year of doing the same with the chance of further Premier League football and goals.

But, probably more importantly, Brighton is very well connected to London where he's spent a fair bit of time on media duties, something he's very keen to pursue when he does hang up his boots. Doing the same from Cardiff, whilst he sees out his playing days, would be an utter pain in the arse.

Was Paul Dickov our second greatest loan striker? :lol:

I cannot recall, what has that got to do with anything.
The man is magnificent with his head in the box. Have you not noticed this over the years?
