Abort, retry, fail
A great bit of business had Debbie played for free. I suspect we didn't make any money from him, so a waste of time on another moron with no desire to play for the club.

Have to give home credit for helping us towards the £160 million payout
Never fitted in Brighton style of play can't just blame the player

Disagree strongly. He was LAZY, pure and simple. People can cite 'personality clashes' and 'styles of play' all they like, but there's never, ever an excuse for a lack of EFFORT.

Indeed. Something that clashes when you try to play as a team like we do - not reliant on one or two individuals...

CMS didn't fit Gus's style of play, but always gives 100%, unlike Dobbie. If true, great bit of business by TB.

This, his 2 goals were a penalty which was a simple tap in and he was simply in the right place for the other one. Charlton away he was absolutely awful, some of the DS guys would have gave a better performance than him that day.
850k is great business, nice to know we have 1 tiny thing to laugh at Palace about - using under 1/120th of their millions to sign a player who couldnt give 2 shits....

And if he can't cut the mustard next season I'm sure he be loaned back to the championship

Oh look the Zaha factor is creeping into their promotion now. The acknowledged figure for promotion of approx. £120 mill, is now £160mill.

edited for you.
If I was sad enough to be bothered, I'd paste links for you to the dozens and dozens of posts on your BBS complaining of exactly the opposite.

Whilst I think Gus has acted like an idiot re his career, in terms of his managerial ability he deserves some credit. Most of his signing were successful and even one that wasn't makes us half a mill. His 'hit' ratio was excellent.

A Swansea fan i know (yes they exist) put it well with Dobbie - "When hes on loan to you, he is brilliant. But once he signs the contract he turns to shit". Wouldnt be surprised if that happens with you.

To be fair he's a £3 million forward who could not hit a barn door

Wrong on both counts. You were doing well until then.

We never got the best out of him. No point playing CMS up on his own all match which happened in nearly every single match he played. Ulloa and CMS is what we want to see. What CMS lacked in goals he made up in work rate. No defender wants to come up against his pace.

Fair post
Will be interesting to see how he does this season with a different style of manager when his knee fixes properly
