Ben Marshall
- Thread starter Simon Morgan
- Start date
It wasn't just Blackburn who scuppered the deal. Marshall didn't see Brighton as a club that would be chasing a Premiership place. He might have a different view on that after the season we have had. Blackburn are millions in debt and Marshall has only 12 months on his contract now so they are in no position to play hard ball on any deal now.
I think it will be Crawley just because of the geographical location which would facilitate him to continue with all his other work he does for Brighton
Nothing to do with Ben Marshall, but I hate the thought of Calde leaving. 
I would like to think there's a non-playing role of some kind for him here whenever he wants it - the club can surely always make use of people like him.

Very True !

Never mind Calde (who IMO was lucky to get another year - legend or not), what about Bruno?
Surely his performances have warranted a further 12 months.

I think Bruno will stay and we will sign another RB.
Totally agree about Bruno, but Calde is just...Calde. I will be genuinely saddened when he's not in our squad anymore.
True but if the guy himself wants to continue to play, you cant accommodate it out of sentiment.

Just how everyone saw it working out when we signed Rosenior!

Indeed! We will need 4 full backs though, obviously Rosenior being able to cover both positions is a massive bonus.

You have started me off again our priority in the summer is to replace Chicksen as Rosenior or Goldson can cover Bruno if needed. That is assuming Calderon is released as I wwould expect. It is all dependant on which Division we are in next year.
It really, really isn't.
Given that our only recognised strikers as of July will be Hemed and Baldock, supplementing those will be our overwhelming priority.
(That and keeping hold of Kayal, Stephens, Stockdale, Dunk and Goldson)
Unless we go up of course, in which case signing a replacement for Adam bloody Chicksen, as back up left back will be roughly fifteenth on our list of priorities.
Don't worry BG
I have already told Chris how horrified you were on how he dealt with the left back situation. He promises to get it sorted for you for next season. I do believe he has already been on the phone to J-Lloyd Samuel as you suggested

Surely more likely to sign another left back.
Rosenior is the right back cover.

I think having a 15-man line of succession at left back is imperative and must be prioritised above any other position.

2 quality strikers is all we need if we dont go up. As long as we keep hold of everyone else.

I hope you also added his other mistake, 1 of 2 major mistakes he has made , not bringing in another striker knowing the situation of BZ and Sam Baldok.
Other than that he has done really well and will continue to do so for another month I hope.I hope you also added his other mistake, 1 of 2 major mistakes he has made , not bringing in another striker knowing the situation of BZ and Sam Baldok.
That's sorted as well. Leon Best has accepted his contract offer
