Former Seagull backs bid to sign striker (From The Argus)

Yes Dickinson would be a good buy for the Albion, 82 league games played and 45 goals scored. Let's not count our chickens before there hatched though, he hasn't signed for us yet.

Dickinson and his advisors spotted walking towards the clubs offices, five minutes ago. Expect an announcement this afternoon.

well another quality player coming in, any news of any non league clubs looking at elabd? i hear most of the " local" lads are heading to whitehawk and bognor, how on earth did the club stay in this division with so many poor players in the squad.. give adams 6 months and he will be sacked. with 5 more players to come in, will the club have one youth pruduct in the starting 11?

I fully expect one of Virgo, Elphick and Cox to be in the starting line-up. As for the others, why can't you let them go? They have left the club and moved on. So have the club and the majority of fans.
We should be focussing on what could be a very exciting future at the Albion and not the past.

Absolutely right Big Fan. Mark 62's info has generally been accurate but we have to look forward and let the past go. Would have been fantastic to watch a successful Albion side crammed with 'local product'but regretfully it hasn't happened for one reason or another .
RS seems to be quietly putting together a quality/experienced out-fit and I hope he has time to complete the side in time for it to gel in the League.
Trying hard not to let my hopes/ expectations for next season get to high but am increasingly hopeful of watching a side that is competitive in the top ten and a play off candidate.

absolutely agree 100% with you, but to be a championship side we will need the youth system producing players with the potential to play premiership football, however i under stand the best centre back partnership is tunni and lynch! if our left back starts the first game, be interesting line up, for once we will have lots of good players fighting for a start, thats the only way forward if we want out of this league, cant wait for season to start!!

A good view of the club offices from FUERTEVENTURA is it Alan?

Not really, looking at Lanzagrote from my balcony at the moment, but remember i was Alan Skinner, Brighton a few months ago and i have "advisors" too.

Enlighten us , have your "advisers" seen Dickinson and his representatives leaving the club offices yet?

spoke to a mate a leeds fan when they had him on loan they ended up booing him apparently "6foot 4 of lard" was the comment he told me ... still could be another richard tiltman ... by the way we are 9/1 with ladbrokes to go up come on the albion ...

So that would be tunni who you have probably never seen play and Lynch who doesn't want to play for us. Contrary little tinker aren't you.

As long as Barry Lloyd has had no hand in it

He's going to be a good player, but whats the point? They already have Fozzy, Murry, Hart and Davis. Maby try and sell Davis, then buy Dickinson?

Look on Deby's 606 site. It would seem that this bloke is HUGE trouble - don't touch him!

I have been known to throw in a couple of curve balls occasionally, but you will also remember i announced the signing of Graeme Smith on this blog before the club did!! As i have with other players over the past two years! As such you may want to listen to some of my bull spout, as there is usually some substance to it. By the way personal terms are not an issue with Dickinson, he is ready to sign, it's Derby holding things us trying to recoup their cash.
