Livermore gone

Livermore parts company with Seagulls From The Argus)


David Livermore has left Albion by mutual consent.

The 29-year-old's contract was not due to expire until the summer but he has parted company with immediate effect.

Livermore was signed by Micky Adams on a free transfer in the summer of 2008 after helping Hull win promotion to the Premier League.

He made only 14 starts for the Seagulls and his only appearance this season was as a sub against Leyton Orient in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at the end of October.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I thought he'd gone months ago?

 

[Simster]

I've never understood how Livermore has turned out to be quite so useless to us really.

Surely the Winston Bogarde of the lower leagues.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I was genuinely excited when we signed him. Maybe not excited, but certainly encouraged.

 

[JJ McClure]

One of the biggest disappointments of recent years. Came to us with decent pedigree as a top championship player but for whatever reason has never delivered.
Being overlooked by Adams, Slade and Poyet would suggest he showed nothing in training to warrant much of a chance.

 

[beorhthelm]

should have bossed the midfield in this league, not sure where it went wrong.

 

[Mr Banana]

Top bloke, gave it his all and was gagging to get back in the team. Think it might have been a psychological thing.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

What an absolute waste.

Seriously, this is a guy who came here with pedigree, with class and with style. But he never really settled and you know what I blame for this? Adam Virgo started last season in central midfield because there was, literally, nowhere else for Micky to fit him into the side (Hawkins seemed quite good ) and that meant a place on the bench for the man who should have been the key man in the centre of our midfield. What a shame. Micky's signings are leaving one by one. McLeod gone, Livermore gone, Davies practically gone.

Still, I say thank you for the McNulty!

I agree with you there, JJ. The only game I can remember him playing well in was at Luton in the Paint-pot semi. He even f***ed that up by getting sent off in the 1st half..

Bet you 10p he ends up at Vale!

 

[JJ McClure]

Oh, and is he really only 29? He looks about 40!

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Bet you 10p he ends up at Vale!

Deal done.

(Not Livermore to Vale, 10p to Ninja!)

 

[Tubby Mondays]

I too expected good things from this gentleman. My Millwall contacts raved about him when he was there.

 

[chinners]

well more deadwood leaving the club after mcleod

 

[Easy 10]

One of the most baffling cases in recent memory, this one. As others said, he had a real pedigree having helped Hull into the Prem, played a lot of games at Championship level, and I thought it was a real coup when we signed him.

He just seemed to catch the "shitness" disease though, which unfortunately seems to befall so many (seemingly) promising players at this club. Bradley Johnson, Aaron Davies, Graeme Smith, Darius Henderson off the top of my head. All have done well elsewhere, but have been utter CACK in the stripes.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

That's Livermore, Davies and Mcleod gone. Surely we must be bringing in somebody on loan soon!

 

[Mendoza]

In the space of 5 years, which were meant to be the prime of his career, he went from playing in an FA Cup run that got him to the final, took Hull to the Premier League in the first time in their history, to being rubbish for us, loaned to a non league team and released for nowt.

He was the exact type of player we were crying out for, and he turned out to be toilet, although admittedly he was playing left back or left midfield quite a lot.

Weird

 

[SNOOBS]

Our treatment of him has been quite embarrassing really, thoroughly f***ed him over.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Deal done.

(Not Livermore to Vale, 10p to Ninja!)

Where in God's name has he gone then?
