Zamora -

[Seagull on the wing]

Bobby has said he would come back to the Albion one day.
A few months ago I said Bobby would return...based on nothing but a hunch....would we want him...a forward who can hold a ball up and read the game....there's only one answer...a massive YES!

Anyone doubting whether he'd be good enough is an idiot. Anyone thinking it's likely? Probably the same, but then I thought that before CMS, and Vicente, and Kuszczak, so who knows? I don't know where the lines between fantasy and ambition is anymore, we've risen so quickly it's difficult to get out of the small club mentality. Head says beyond anything, even if we could afford it, and QPR were willing to let him go - he's said publically he's not that bothered about football, it's just a job to him. He wouldn't be playing for us for the love of it, he's in it to make as much as he can before he retires, so I just can't see him turning away from his 50-odd grand a week at QPR to play for, what, a third of that with us?

Filed away in the 'dream on' category, asterisked with 'but still let 1% of yourself believe'.

perfectly put! ^

 

[Pole in Goal]

If he does come here he better sort himself out; lethargic, uninterested and a shadow of the standard he was playing at to get into the England squad - 5 in 21.

I personally don't believe in returning to a former club, especially as recent examples of this haven't been successful.

Didn't Bobby recently state that he'd fallen out of love with football!!

So had Wayne Bridge and look what's happened to him since being at the Amex.....

I cant find what date Gus stopped playing for Spurs in 2004 but BZ joined them in April 2004. They may have been together for a short time as players at Spurs in 2004, not sure.

You need to check your sources, those dates are way off. Bobby joined Spurs in July 03 by Feb 04 he was at West Ham. Poyet left Spurs at the end of the 03/04 season. Tanno was also at Spurs at the same time.

 

[W.C.]

No, not like Wayne Bridge, he's been superb. I said 'a lot' of these players, not every single one of them.

I think he means that that is what some people were saying about Wayne Bridge before he came here. I was over the moon myself but a non Brighton supporting mate sent me a text at the time asking why the heck Gus had signed Bridge, and I'm sure a fair few on here were questioning his commitment.

 

[Frutos]

The thing with this one is that, irrespective of the fact that it's Bobby Zamora, this is just the kind of player in terms of his abilities and playing style that we do need right now.

 

[Northstander]

As good as this sounds....Never go back!

I would worry for both bz and the Albion here

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Aren't Man City paying the majority of Bridge's wages?

Thats different man citeh have zillions. QPR dont.

I'm not sure whether or not this is true, but the depth of pockets at QQR could be the key to whether or not he ends up here...

& he'll be Frank Bough of we don't get someone like Bobby in to show a level of ambition...So it's a win/win situation if we bring him back with extra thousands of ST sales cos if Bridge goes whoever plays in his place will make us 10/15 points worse off next season

I though [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] was a plastic Yiddo too

 

[maltaseagull]

I wonder, if it really happened, how long before the moaners turned on him if he missed chances or didn't score every game 5 games ?

 

[TranmereGull]

We were talking to QPR in the last transfer window regarding a certain Mr. Zamora. Word is that he and Hughes do not get on and BZ has ASKED for a transfer on loan PREFERABLY to BHA but PROBABLY not due to wage limitations.

We were very close to a deal last time round but it fell through.

Where have I heard this before?? Oh yes, you told me at the Blackpool game

 

[RNSeagull]

Oh why oh why did you have to post this?

I'll now be there waiting for the transfer deadling with minutes to go, watching the Argus website tease us with tales of a former Albion legend returning at the last minute, that he's being rushed from Shoreham airport to the Amex by police motorcade. Only to read:

Its Dan bloody Harding

a) I'm not sure he's ever said he'd come back and b) He's also said he "hates" football. I wouldn't believe anything a footballer says.

Selective quoting TD. He says he hates watching football which isn't quite the same thing.

I never read what he said exactly, but that's certainly not what was reported. It was discussed at length on Sunday Supplement.

I've always felt he'll retire quite early, never thought he'd come back here, and if it wasn't for his history with us, nobody would be pushing for it.
