    ,Everton and Villa all think so as well,so where is the money going to come from?.

    Chris wood was a descent striker for us at Withdean,but he plays a different role for Millwall,so i guess Gus thought he wouldn`t fit our style,personally i would have given him a go.

    As for Murray,you seem to be convinced it was all about money.Our great club made him the best offer any player in our history has ever been offered,but it was him and not the club,that kept putting it off (contract) .

    I was led to believe that after he left,he spoke to Gus to try and re-open negotiations,but by then the door had been shut.

    Maybe Hoskins will prove the answer,hopefully on Tuesday..UTA
    Very good post tug509.But like you say after he left,he spoke to Gus to try and re-open negotiations.From what i understand he was happy to take just 70% to stay with us.So i think its safe to say he was more than happy to stay.Also lets be honest LuaLua & Vicente are on lots more money than Murray wanted.Come to that so is that waste of space Croft.We also pay Harley & Bren Rodgers boy to just go night clubbing in town.Really ask yourselfs how many other clubs apart from poor old Barnet wanted these players on loan."

Gus Poyet admits Albion should be scoring a lot more goals.

The Seagulls blew a host of chances in their 1-1 draw at home to Bolton.

Proud Poyet felt his team were “fantastic” and said: “It’s not only the domination.

“It is the way we played, the way we stopped them playing, the quantity of chances.

“The penalty goes down as a triple chance.

“Hitting the post, the goalkeeper making saves. There is nobody to blame.

“Of course you get disappointed with plenty of things that can go another way but that is football and you need to accept it.”

Poyet felt the share of the spoils was unfair on his side.

He added: “It is unfair on everybody but the one who gets it worst is me.

“I pick the players, I pick the way we play, I convince them it is possible.

“It has been proven we are better than most.

“But there is a part I cannot do. I cannot take penalties, I cannot head the ball inside the six-yard box and I cannot tap in from three yards. That is individuals.

“It is a difficult part of the game. That is why top scorers are so expensive.

“At the moment we should have the top scorer in the division by far with more goals than Glenn Murray and Charlie Austin but we don’t.

“The rest is all there.”
