[Albion] Pascal Gross new contract

[Mackenzie]

Good news. The type of player that allows the youngsters to thrive in the team, hope he stays much longer than his new contract.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Fantastic news.

He’s a better player now than when we signed him. 18 months ago I would have let him go but the way he has kicked on over the last 2 years is unbelievable for a player of his age. Such a credit to himself and the club.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I just bloody love him. Is that so wrong? One of my favourite ever Brighton players - THE most important player in the side - and I’ve been watching this nonsense for a while. Wonderful news. Fabelhaft.

There's a list of all of the squad contracts, expiry dates, age, HGP and loans all in one handy list over here >>

[Albion] - Squad and Contracts Feb - June 2023

Strong enough for RDZ ? Remember Moder is due back for fixture heavy Feb/Mar/Apr . Useful midfield/forward gap filler. Ayari and Buonanotte likely to see any first team appearances before May/June ? And who are the next Mitomas and Caicdeos and Whites and Sanchez from the current loan crop ...

Fantastic news. What a gem.

I can’t remember another Albion player who plays so well in so many different positions. He is just a fantastic player and I’m so glad he has decided to give us the best years of his career.

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited, he must be one of the cheapest quality players in the Premier League, a snip at £3m

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Amid all the joking about his lack of pace, it's easy to forget his stamina - he consistently plays 90 mins, and is always running as hard at the end of a game as at the beginning. Fantastic player.

Agreed, he doesn't slow down like other players, he keeps up his (one) pace throughout the whole game . But interesting that he hardly ever gets substituted under Roberto, because he is so important to the team and the system. Indeed just checking, he has already played more minutes this season, than any other season, apart from his first one in the PL where he played in ever game.
Just getting better and better

 

[Eeyore]

Might need a Zimmer frame to get up and down the pitch, but will still hit those crisp incisive crosses. And even if the Cruyff Turn takes half an hour to complete he'll still beat the last defender.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Amid all the joking about his lack of pace, it's easy to forget his stamina - he consistently plays 90 mins, and is always running as hard at the end of a game as at the beginning. Fantastic player.

If you check his stats he often covers more km's than his much younger team mates

 

[Eeyore]

The Bill Wyman of BHAFC.
Underrated by the media.
Rated by every coach he’s played under.

Yep, I remember seeing him in the European Cup Final in 1977. He'd lost a bit of pace by then but still showed the magic he does now.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Excellent player.

Arguably our best during the PL era…..

Consistently good.

Great news

 

[dangull]

I thought he was older than 31. Plenty of life in the old dog yet. As others have said, pace is not an important part of his game.
A big reason why we stayed out of the relegation zone in his first 3 years.

 

[Si Gull]

Nothing more needs to be said

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I can’t remember another Albion player who plays so well in so many different positions. He is just a fantastic player and I’m so glad he has decided to give us the best years of his career.

At Stamford Bridge, Ferguson gets injured, and Pascal moves seamlessly to RB.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Great news, invaluable to us. First name on the team sheet under 3 separate managers.

I've said it before, Gross never relied on pace so his game won't drop off for a long time. Same goes for Dunk!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Amid all the joking about his lack of pace, it's easy to forget his stamina - he consistently plays 90 mins, and is always running as hard at the end of a game as at the beginning. Fantastic player.

Consistently covers the most ground I believe a well.

 

[birthofanorange]

Just a 1 year extension...

Party pooper.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Probably the most unsung hero of our Premier League era. Love him to bits.

 

[dstanman]

Great news, lets hope there are a few more contract extensions on their way
