Gus cools Swanson talk - but signings are coming (From The Argus)

WARNING : There are comments on articles proclaiming falsely to be from supporters of Brighton. Their real intention is to defame BHAFC its fans or the Argus or to troll ( to intentionally anger and frustrate someone else or provoke a response).

Can't wait to see an article on here confirming some new signings. The suspense is killing me!

Looks like a lot of trips up North for this new season in the Championship...

Everything to look forward to

Mattock if our arch rivals Crystal Palace or Sheff Utd don't snap him up instead.

Poyet still envisages Vicente pulling the strings next term.
Can we assume that Gus has spoken to him and had a positive reply?

I think if Vicente was definately going we would have known by now, but the fact that it is still undecided has to be a good thing.

I doubt there will be any quality signings at all. Any quality players would want to join a quality team with a quality manager. Well guess what is lacking at Brighton? Yes you've got it, quality, quality, quality, there is none at all in any departments.
Decent players will go to decent teams with a decent manager. The writing is on the wall, prepare for disappointment I'm afraid.

The simple answer is no. Neither will be here next season.

7 con

7 comments down and championshipgull is bang on the money

I agree with Gus on this one, last thing we need is another Ryan Harley in midfield, Its not just a question of who we sign but its also a question of who we manage to keep. Hopefully we can get some decent money for players like Harley, Vincelot, Sparrow and get in some quality midfielders that can create chances for CMS and whoever his partner will be.
Over the next couple of weeks we will see more names being released from all clubs and hopefully we can snap up some freebies, would love to see Craig Gordon as our number 1 next year but i think thats a massive long shot.

Seems unreal, Adam El-Abd suddenly playing in international matches.

David Connolly is one of the players released by Southampton. He's a kind of Championship version of Michael Owen, in both ability, and injury record.
He is a free agent, andI would love to see him in a B&HA shirt, if a risk assessment concluded that he was worth a punt.

I asked for their opinion on the Saints site, and these are the replies:-


David has been at times brilliant for Saints.
His movement and touch are Prem class. Some of his goals have come at a time that has been very important in both our 2 promotions.
However his fitness problems have constantly plagued him.
Keep him fit and his experience and quality would be an asset to you.
COYR.
Good luck next season.

david connolly is, in my opinion one of the best strikers we have ever had.his movement and positional sense is top drawer and if it wasn't for his injuries he would have been lamberts partner much more often.he always seems to find space in and around the box and he will still get goals if someone gives him a go.not sure how fit he is at the mo but he is worth a punt and he is a free agent so no fee.

connolly is a class player , when fit there's no better striker in the championship imo .

Hmm. So they are not good quality then? You contradict yourself just to wind people up little person. Crawl away to Crawley please. The ground and style of football will suit your home surroundings in Hove Park behind the last shed on the right.

Agree with MrHove would love to see Craig Gordon in the Number 1 shirt next season.

You'll see. When you're all crying into your coco just remember I warned you. I honestly hope I am wrong but that has never happened yet.
Honestly, get Poyet out now, it really will be for the best.
I can forgive the poor pies but not another season of poor boring football please!

Connolly would be good for us and would add further to the great passing game that so many football fans (ours and others) have admired last season. Great time to be an Albion fan. The future is exciting!

Season ticket renewed so I'll be suffering with you lot. I'm going to have a few quid on relegation just to cover the cost when the inevitable happens.

buffoon

Great team will attract great players. Brighton are a great team. Vicente will stay as will poyet, cannot say im always right only fools do that but one thing I am certain we will hold our own again next season and will improve on 10th position in a league that is only second to the premiership in quality in the world. seagulls.

I am sure the Albion will hold their own this season but they always say the second year in a new division is the more difficult. I am still a bit concerned about the goalkeepers and from the comments made it looks like no one is going to arrive in that position.

A jokes a joke but you are taking this far too seriously, it's only a game of football. Get a life, move on, theres a good boy.

Very true lets close the amex and fold the team, sunday league football here we come !

I'd welcome a swap deal with Middlesborough. Marvin Emnes for Craig Mackail Smith. Then CMS would be closer to Scotland and Emnes would be closer to Holland. Would make going on International duty that much simpler for the two of them and would give us a centre forward with good ball control and an eye for a goal.

Three keepers have not been offered new contracts and gone, so we will see some new ones.

Your right again Mr President. As Albion are trying to improve on a top 10 championship finish, I expect Gus is looking at players in all Positions that are capable of playing in the premiership or have that potential .

I think the championship this coming season looks the strongest it has ever been. When you look at the teams coming both up and down and add them to what is already an incredibly strong division I dont think you could pick a Winner, equally its tough to pick a weak team. What a season to look forward too.

Hopefully Gus gets all of the players he wants asap so they have time to Gel during pre-season.
Would like to hear whats happening with Vincente as if he goes it will be very hard to find anyone like him

A personal plea to HoveParkResident....
. Don't you think the joke's worn a little thin now chum?... Your deliberately provocative ramblings were mildly amusing for a week or so but it's all a bit tiresome and repetitive now. Why don't you just take it as read that whatever story is posted here you'll adopt the negative and contrary position to both the author and the rest of us? We get it ok. It's just more than a little boring now. And an even bigger plea to everyone else - could we just try for one week to completely ignore any contribution from HPR? No abusive responses, and no mickey-taking and most of all no taking absolutely any of it seriously. Then maybe, just maybe, we can return this site to the lively entertaining and stimulating footy banter that it used to be. Right now it's a complete bore. Ok rant over - I live in hope. Faint hope......

My comments are not meant as a joke and I do not deliberately make negative and provocative remarks. I say what I genuinely feel and if that go's against the grain then tough. We are all entitled to our opinion on this site and just because mine is different to the majority of Brighton fans who are obviously deluded then so be it.
I simply do not rate Poyet and co and we could do so much better without him and half of the current team.

Don't let 'em get you down HPR, I actually find some of your posts more entertaining than others on here.

To everyone else, please get over it. It's an internet forum. If you really get annoyed or frustrated by comments such as his, I suggest you need to take a break from reading these pages...

It’s definitely a bit lacking in news at the moment, NSC are talking about a game called cricket.

HPR has stated that he is a B&HA season ticket holder, but not a fan of the club. A season ticket, incidentally, that allowed him a seat in the North stand when he felt like a change one Saturday.
There is no obligation for anyone to tell the truth on this forum, or to make positive noises about Brighton and Hove Albion F.C.
We all recognise HPR as a troll, so trying to get him to see reason is pointless.
The options are not difficult:-
If you find him entertaining, read his comments.
If you find him annoying, scroll past.

I echo that. Anyone that can't take HPR comments should get a life. The only people he might be offensive to are paid a lot more than you or I and it affects them not in the slightest. He's not been personally offensive to anyone on this site but plenty have been to him.

The responses he draws are more offensive and unwanted than his original remarks

So if you don't like it, don't read it

Scrollin' scrollin' scrollin',
So I can keep ignorin',
the tedious a-hole in,
Hove Park

Through rain and sunny weather,
His comments they do never
Warrant reading' or any response

My mind's prone to avoidin'
The ramblings so devoid in
Content, amusement or appeal

Miss him out
Pass him by
Scroll on through
To the end
Don't respond
He's a troll
Hove Park

Don't you quote
Or remark
He's a joke
But not a lark
Cut him loose
To stink oooouuut
Hooooove Paaaaark!

Captain Fishy, I'm almost honoured, but maybe you should practice what you preach!!
Too many Special Brews tonight was it!? I'm sure you're gonna regret it in the morning!

I disagree entirely.
I read the comments on this site because I like to see what genuine fans of the Albion think. That doesn't mean they have to necessarily agree that Gus Poyet is the best thing since sliced bread, or that his tactics are correct all the time. However, although HPR is clearly a wind-up merchant, his humour is cr*p - at least Mr Carrot was funny. And personally, I find his comments on the latest thread re Adam El Abd to be offensive. No genuine person would make those sort of comments about a Brighton player, a local lad too, who has come good. You take him with a pinch of salt if you like. I wil ltake him to be the t*ss-pot that he is.

I genuinely respect your passion for your team although probably misplaced. As far as insulting a Brighton stalwart is concerned that is your opinion but I am also entitled to mine and I do not rate him one bit.
Also I have never said I am a Brighton fan, I'm just a season ticket holder who enjoys football but doesn't see too much of that at the Amex.
Now we've got that sorted I wish you good night and hope you are not too upset and disappointed by the season ahead.

Agree completely. He is a complete wind up merchant and only gets any satisfaction in his sad negative life from responses to his mundane ramblings. No more to be said.

Some of you lot make me laugh. A person comes on here, puts a few comments, and all of a sudden you chuck your toys out of the pram, throw insults around, demand he be ignored, and make up songs of a derogatory nature. Effectively shouting at an imaginary person on the internet for 'interfering' in a subject that people assume he shouldn't.

And HPR is the loser?

I might not agree with a lot is posted by HPR (whether HPR really believes it or not), but I choose whether to read it or not.

I can honestly say it doesn't bother me, and can't really understand why some people go to the effort of continuously venting their fury in HPR's direction.

Answers on a postcard...

There are plenty of sites he can go on and spiel out his rubbish, some people like to have a serious conversation at times, this is NOT meant to be a joke site which he is turning it into. Brighton Bill Yorkshire Seagull And I say again he is being monitored.

He? Oh sorry, I didn't know you knew the identity of the mysterious poster.

Who says WHAT this site is supposed to be? You can't BAN or force out someone from a website just for writing something that might upset a few people! Get over yourselves.

Maybe the positive news from Gus re: Vicente in today's Argus will make you feel better, Bill.

This is all getting a bit silly! Just ignore HPR, or do what you want. As long as he/she is not offending or insulting anyone, then he/she is not doing any harm.

Every one chill, it's the summer...festival season is almost with us!

You've missed your vocation, Captain Haddock :)
