James MacArthur

[Dougie]

Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur is wanted by Brighton.

The newly-promoted south coast club are looking for a midfielder especially after a deal for Gent's Renato Neto fell through last week.

Albion have completed the signing of Norwegian central midfield prospect Mathias Normann for their under-23s squad but the 29-year-old McArthur has been targeted as a player of proven Premier league experience who can help them consolidate in heir first season.

McArthur is expected to leave Palace this summer as Frank de Boer looks to re-shape his midfield. Burnley and other Premier League sides have also expressed an interest in the Scotland international as have Aston Villa.
Apologies for my appalling spelling on the title .

Wouldn't mind. Experienced and decent enough .

Palace fans raved about him lots but of course he will be considered shite it comes here .

 

[WhingForPresident]

A solid if unspectacular player. Would be an upgrade on Norwood but we would still need another CM IMO.

What do you reckon Douglas?

 

[Jack Straw]

Quite liked him on X Factor.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Worst winner of X Factor ever.

 

[perseus]

If he was younger and left-sided he would be a useful addition. I would not put him top of the list although he is quite a good player.

An upgrade on Norwood only? Are you that arrogant to think he's not better than Kayal or Sidwell? Stephens is decent but I'd say there's not much in it between him and Jimmy Mac. This would be a good signing for you.

For a bird you should get back in your kitchen and leave all this stuff to proper men like every bloke on NSC - apart from BG

'Arrogant'? Really?

Norwood is the one that's on his way out, hence the comparison. I couldn't say if he is better than Kayal or Sidwell and hadn't given it any thought. Upgrading the squad as a whole is the key concern at the moment; McArthur in and Norwood out would be decent business.

Not arrogant, but no better than what we've got. (Admittedly based on very few times seen him live and TV).

Snodgrass & McArthur...living the PL dream aren't"t we.

 

[lizard]

So we've gone from Neto to McArther. What's next, a three year extension for Norwood? FML.

Jimmy Mac made an instant impact after signing for Wigan and had an excellent first two years with the club. In that time I'd say he was probably one of our best players. Unfortunately he sustained ligament damage last season and hasn't been the same player since his return. If he could return to his form of 2015, he'd be a massive upgrade on your current midfielders. He's a solid box to box midfielder; he can tackle, he can carry the ball and he'll chip in with the odd goal as well.

That would be the crux of it I guess

 

[Kosh]

If the plan is to make Suttner look world class, then this is the signing for us.

If he could return to the form blah blah blah etc. Jesus H Christ! we're clutching at straws here.

A serious injury at 28-29, almost no chance of recapturing his former zip etc.

If he's the best we can do, we're screwed. Plain and simple.

All those years of effort, all the PL ready talk... I just can't understand what the ****ery is going on.

 

[seagull_special]

Signing him would increase the strength in depth and add
some much needed PL experience, would be relatively happy with Snodgrass too, 1 top striker as our marque signing and Gomez and Ithink we would be good to go with a view to making additions in January once we know who has stepped up

 

[TSB]

I doubt this is true.

 

[Kosh]

I doubt this is true.

God, I seriously hope this is true.

 

[Marshy]

For 2 million quid as quoted that would be a steal, If fully fit would sit alongside Stephens very nicely

I agree with all that, that season Jimmy was the first on the team sheet. I will be sorry to see him go.
