Hoddle reckons in the Standard tonight that he got a good deal - which means the Albion didn't

Good luck to the lad tho - he gave us more success than we ever thought possible in a short space of time. Total legend.

And - hey! - we got a keeper again!

So it's not all bad news.

Just most of it aye? :(

Chris Cooper talking to Spurs Assistant John Gorman on Talk
Sport tonight described the signing as "the bargain of the season" ...and he didn't mean from our point of view:(

Below;

Copy of my email to Dick Knight - it sums up my feelings perfectly;

Hi,

First of all let me say that I imagine you've got/will get loads of emails today regarding the sale of Bobby - this one will possibly be slightly different to some.

I totally agree with you that we've got an excellent price for him in today's game - £1.5 million for a Division Two player is exceptional. We've had a lot of good times with Bobby, and I expect there are a lot more to come without him - but what I want to say is that I fully trust yourself and Steve Coppell to build a team that make me proud to call myself a Brighton supporter. You've managed it ever since you took over - and I'd like to thank you for that.

Looking forward to seeing the boys play Crawley on Saturday - Come on the Seagulls

Best wishes for the new season and for many to come,

Stuart

Spot on, d_s.

People who say Bobby was worth more should realize by now that a player's worth is only equal to what other people are prepared to pay for him. If he was such a bargain at 1.5mil, why wasn't there a host of clubs prepared to offer a little bit more when they heard he was available?

Thats true.
Gorman and Hoddle have got a reputation for being wasteful in recent years, so they are obviously highlighting this supposed bargain as part of the wonderful and insightful work they do.
Wankers.

trevor sinclair looks like he is going for 2.5 million
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/3051905.stm

a player who has been doing it in the premiership for a fair few years and played in a world cup. while i think bobby is worth more than that i accept that at this time we just weren't going to get anymore, he wants to play in the prem and who can balme him. oh well, there's a sell on clause, most of us have faith in bobby's ability don't we? give it year or too, he'll be so sick of hoddle but playing so well he'll be going to the arse or someone for 8 mill, and we'll be laughing in our new stadium

dk will get us there

some of the twats on this board will be doing what they always do - f*** all
