Striker Lloyd Owusu was due to take a medical today as Aussie side Adelaide United look to secure him on a two-year deal.

Owusu, who has been offered a year plus a year’s option by Albion, was being examined in Perth.

He is currently staying in the west coast city on his way back to England.

Adelaide have been impressed by the 32-year-old hitman in training and want him to sign before he returns home tomorrow.

The ball is now in Owusu’s court as he decides whether to move Down Under with his partner and young daughter.

His move could be made easier by the fact his partner’s father lives in Western Australia.

It still says no deal has been agreed but it looks as though he is about to sign...

I think it's a done deal now. Our only hope is that is family won't want to live there as I think he'll probably get better wages at Adelaide?

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Oh well, onwards and upwards..........Thanks Lloyd.......

Next....................

 

[JJ McClure]

Can blame him, given the choice I'd probably do the same.
Did a great job for us that won't be forgotten anytime soon, but time to move on me thinks.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Tis getting tough now.

I support Melbourne Victory, but with 2 former Albion players in their line up it's getting harder not to have a soft spot for Adeliade.

Wonder if Adelaide is affiliated with any English teams, we could get a deal going where we send em our over the hill veterans and they send us their promising young players for a trial.

I would think that he will sign for them as relocation won't be a problem I wouldn't have thought.

With the fact that AUFC are currently being underwritten by the FFA and the salary cap of $1.6m for the squad per year, i doubt he will be getting a HUGE salary. I think i saw $200k (GBP100k) a year mentioned.

Seems like Owusu is destined to be our short-term hero - our own Christophe Dugarry or Fredi Bobic.

Hey Mr Biggums, i saw a post on another thread asking why you support the Albion ? Why ?

Ps im not trying being funny

Come On Owusu Come Back To The Seagulls

 

[severnside gull]

If he is having a medical it looks like a done deal


love the bit where the Argus say that he will be influenced by his partner's family living in Perth.....like it's just next door

 

[Danny-Boy]

Lloydy's welcome to their "Pie Floaters", the most evil-smelling muck I ever had to eat (out of politeness). What kind of city sells a hot pie in mushy peas when the temperatures pushing 100 Farenheit (40C even sometimes)!!

In true NSC style I should call fixtures on this question!

But I wont.

Long story short I live in a coastal town in the south of Australia with lots of seagulls, so not to disimilar to Brighton.

But my love for the Albion grew from my first FA Cup memory as a kid in Oz and that was watching Brighton lose the final.*

So naturally I had to pick the losing team to be my team.

That was 20 something years ago now.

And to this day iv'e still never seen an Albion game in its entirity since that FA Cup final!


*note as I get older this story may change from year to year as to how I actually ended up following the Albion, but the early 80's was definately the starting point!

Just so you know... your badge is EXACTLY the same shape and uses EXACTLY the same font as Arsenal:

That is all

Good luck to him, we were lucky to have him on last seasons run in and he'll always have mini legend status here.

 

[Gonzo]

Llloyd did a fantastic job in keeping us up and for that, he'll always be a fans favourite down here. But, as good as he was for us, I'm kinda pleased we've missed out on him. I have a feeling we may not have seen such good form from him next season.

He was one of the few players last season who showed some passion and pride for the shirt and we will be forever grateful, but I don't see him as part of our bright future.

Good luck big fella

 

[seagull_special]

Bloody hell 2 L's is weird enough at the beginning of a name but to chuck in an extra one is just plain insane

 

[sir albion]

Christ this is owusu not rooney,can't believe people are making a big fuss over this.I would prefer a better striker than owuso who is getting obn a bit.Lets be honest playing 4-5 decent games does not make you quality and this is why owuso has always been a lower league player.

 

[HG201]

Shame, but good luck to him, he had a massive say in keeping us up, i'm gonna miss copying his celebration
