Albion Sign Roberts!!

[Trigger]

Come on Trigger, lets just concentrate on a good signing. We all know we need strikers and its hardly something that Coppell has been quiet about either, so we know we'll get them.

I did say i'm happy with the signing!

 

[Meade's Ball]

Hurrah!
I'm looking forward to future signings now.
Looks like it could just have been a question of timing with the likes of Robbo too and shows that we are at least willing to pay decent wages to the right players.

I might still put on some money on us going up as champs.

 

[bigc]

thank god i got rid of packham?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Steve Coppell simply said:
How'd you like them f***ing onions?

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

BZ has only been gone for a few hours,and we have made one signing,no doubt if it had been a forward someone on here would have been moaning that we havent signed a goalkeeper!!

Give the man a chance,he hasnt let us down so far,so in the words of another legend


"Keep The Faith"

What a lift after Bobby's departure. Now we've got two top notch keepers... Roberts was so good last year I can't see Kuipers being first choice. If we get a couple of strikers even close to that quality, we could be better off overall.

Albion manager Steve Coppell said, “He was with us last season for a month and everybody at the club was happy with him as a personality, and also with his performances as a goalkeeper who has more or less been on the fringes at all the clubs he has been with

“I know he's got something to prove and I've got a very healthy situation with the goalkeepers; Michel and Ben fighting for that one position. I hope they'll bring out the best in each other and I'll have to make the very different decision in who will be the number one"

And this ISN'T on the official site.

It is but you have to hunt for it. I only found it by going to the latest news page and refreshing a couple of times.

 

[Curious Orange]

Okay, my bad, it's there now!!!

 

[bhaexpress]

That's very good start. I was at Arundel and thought that FDM looked very iffy on crosses, Roberts is class.


Go Stevo !

 

[Curious Orange]

And Charlton get Simon Royce. Who got the better keeper I wonder?!!

 

[Mullers]

Yes a great signing - well done Steve Coppell!
:dance:

 

[ezzoud]

I wonder how many other signings we've had tied up waiting for the Zamora deal to be sealed - hopefully quite a few otherwise when we come calling in the future people will say "oh yeah they've just pocketed 1.5 million lets put our prices up"

 

[d_s]

and the goalscorer arriving at withdean Stadium is............?

Yes keepres very important, clean sheets blah blah....

don't win you games though


(waits for the flaming)

Who was it who said (and I have forgotten)

"Strikers win games - clean sheets win championships"?

 

[ezzoud]

Probably George Graham!

 

[bigc]

hehe

 

[d_s]

Probably George Graham!

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Good news, I like Roberts - got a good shout on him! (oh and a safe pair of hands)
