Navarro has lots of options
9:30am Monday 30th April 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor
Alan Navarro
ALBION boss Gus Poyet expects Alan Navarro to be playing in the Championship next season – whether or not it is with the Seagulls.
Navarro is out of contract after making his 33rd league appearance of the campaign as a substitute in Saturday’s closing 0-0 draw at Barnsley.
Poyet told The Argus: “I talked to Navs three or four months ago and I said to him in my honest opinion he was in a win-win situation, because he has been playing week in and week out, performing at this level.
“I am sure he is going to have a great opportunity to keep playing at this level in the Championship.
“Then it’s decisions. We have got players under contract, there are plenty of things we need to sort out.
“We are going to talk with everyone this week. We’ve already talked with three or four. We have got a list and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we are going to speak to them one-to-one.
Navarro was released a year ago but invited back for pre-season and ending up earning a one-year deal.
He said: “I have always thought that I can play in the Championship. I know everyone thinks they can play higher and I have played higher in the past.
“It’s just whether you get the luck and which manager is there at the time.
“I think I have taken my chance but we’ll see what happens now. I feel at home in teams that play football.”
David Gonzalez is also out of contract after a shut-out for the Colombian at Barnsley on his away debut helped Albion finish tenth in the table.
Poyet said: “We are going to have a chat with David. I didn’t want to talk to him before the game. He didn’t have a lot to do but everything he did he did well.
“He kicked well. It wasn’t one of the biggest or most difficult games of his life but he was good enough and I’m pleased for him, because he deserved to be in the position to keep a clean sheet.”

he his a good player .He is not quite good enough for a top championship club ,may be just a back up if we can't bring better in.We need a few players who have that bit more in mid-field and forward positions.We should buy a good goal keeper and fullback also.

Navarro would be a loss as would Dicker and Sparrow.
What is going to happen to Dunk now that he has been charged?

Poyet surely isn't going to offer Gonzalez a contract? Of the six keepers the only two worth keeping are Ankegren and Brezovan. Navarro would be a loss as would Dicker and Sparrow. What is going to happen to Dunk now that he has been charged?

Is that based on just the couple of games Gonzalez has played for the Albion?

Dave - He has played only two games because he isn't good enough. If he was better than Ankegren and Brezovan he would have played.

Am I the only one who thinks Gus is saying Navarro won't have his contract renewed because we're going on to bigger and better things? But Navs will get another deal in the Championship because he's playing regularly for us. Seems pretty clear to me that it's bye bye Navs.

Yes I would love Joe Lewis as a free but it is rumored that he will sign for Aston Villa as back up to Shay Given. If it wasn't about money for him then his better move would surely be to a club like the albion?

Offering Boyd, Lewis and McCann for sale? Hmmm money troubles (their gates are woeful) or just a major rebuild?
Lewis would be useful.

Joe Lewis
Lee Camp
Kuszak (sp?)
Or
Speroni! VERY good keeper and he must be fed up wasting his time with The Oddballs from up the A23 by now, surely?! ;0)
Would also like some o these 'feasibles':
Joe Mattock (WBA)
Nick Powell (Crewe)
Barry Robson (M'boro)
Jacob Butterfield (Barnsley)
Gai Assulin (season loan from Man City)
Aaron McLean (Hull)
Marvin Emnes (M'boro)
Jordan Rhodes (Hudds....bit ambitious, this one!)
Of course I'd also like to see Vicente take up a second year with us (and more!)
Pretty sure it's too soon for Bobby Z to return though, I regret.
