Gerrard to Newcastle....2 nd place it is then!

[Psychobilly freakout]

Surely Tranmere Rovers, with John Barnes up front and Steve Nicol at the back. Promotion guaranteed.

Hate Tanmere ever since we sold them Ian Muir and he scored against us up at prenton park one cold, cold Friday night game.

I would think that SG or FL would be great to have on the bench and come on if needed for 20 mins to add their experience to calm down any hectic moments and see out a game, but at what cost?

Forget FL, the online Palace are wetting themselves at the prospect of fat Frank going to Selhurst, ignoring the fact that in his time in America he's probably forgotten who they are or what division they play in.

Son has just popped in for a cuppa and suggested that we take £6m for Stephens and and give Fat Frank a 1 year contract. I am not sure he could still do it often enough and the same with Gerrard at Newcastle. Both would have obviously good odd moments but not sure over 12 months.

F*****g hell, it's like you've got a special edition of Scrabble where the tiles are names of players who were at the height of their fame in 2006 and, once you draw their name out of the bag, you have to tenuously link them to the Albion on NSC.

Is that Ade Akinfenwa?!?

It's actually Brighton legend (ish) Fred Emney leading the team out at the Goldstone , he was great on the line from corners .

Make sure he doesn't drive home, because he appears to be shit-faced...

BG - Over the almost 2 years I have been on this site you must have posted a good 18 - 20 players as potential signings for BHA. - If you were to put them on a team sheet, what would our team sheet look like ? Only using the players you suggested and not any of the current team ?

Left back would be J-Lloyd Samuel at left back and Mat Derbyshire spearing the attack are the ones which spring to mind.

As in both the examples you have given each one has been a cheap option to help out a situation short term to overcome an immediate problem rather than look to the future. My view was sign them use them then either sell them of release them after having done a job for us. Neither SG or FL would be cheap options so I am unsure about them but if either could save or get us 10 - 15 points by scoring 4 or 5 goals it must be a consideration. Their wages could be high because that is what they are used to and believe they are worth that rather than the view that money wouldnt matter to them

2 from 3 but which 2 from Gerrard, Barton, Lampard. Also read to day Hull are chasing Ravel Morrison.

None from 3 for me. I'm not unhappy with our midfield as it stands. I'm even happier with the current squads team spirit. Would hate to have that disrupted by the arrival of a prima donna and or a thug!

 

[Milano]

Yeah, Gerrard is going to want to leave LA and go to.....Tyneside, rightyho. Some lazy hack seeing Benitez there and going 2 + 2. No chance.
He'll retire and go back to Liverpool as a coach, or if he keeps playing it will be China or Emirates for silly cash again.

I was humorously looking to see a team sheet with 11 players and formation BG

 

[Megazone]

A partnership with Owen would be awesome.

It would be great to see Owen back at the club. True Albion legend.

There's your first mistake.

 

[Official Old Man]

One thing that will always stick in my mind was when Keegan became manager at Newcastle. It was 1992 and they were below BHA in the second tire (Division 2) and looking good to go down. They didn't, we did and I will always blame Keegan for that.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Not for one moment am I advocating the Owenesque thread, it keeps us amused during the barren weeks, footballers however, are allowed to play for as long as possible if that is what they desire, no matter how much they've earnt. You're a long time retired.

Your probably right...................................Whats the point trying to have any fun in life or enjoy it when you can be miserable constantly

 

[worthingseagull123]

Leaving LA Galaxy and being linked to Newcastle (among other teams) according to BBC Sport website

We are not certain of 2nd by a long way.

 

[SeagullinExile]

I think if I saw him in a Brighton shirt I'd wet myself.

He's SO old now it's probably him that wets himself.

It's a no from me.

Probably the son who's unsure how to negotiate a Haywards Heath roundabout so I wouldn't take too much notice

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Would be very happy to see Gerrard go to Newcastle. Not a chance that he would improve their team, and hopefully he (or his salary expectations) would be a destabilizing influence to boot.

As to the suggestion in this thread that he'd be 'useful to bring on to hold a lead' - Liverpool tried that at the end of his farewell season - he got caught on the ball, lunged in, and got a straight red after about 30 seconds on the pitch. And that was two years ago. The guy can barely run.

 

[GT49er]

He's a little bit, erm, passed it.

Absolutely right.

Relied on bursts of pace and agility.

Absolutely wrong.

Probably won't even happen.

Absolutely right.

Two out of three ain't bad, I suppose. Would have loved to have seen him in the stripes a couple of years back, but I think his playing days are done.
