Mmm. Thought he looked a decent player for us last season but Gus seemed to be only lukewarm. Hopefully he has someone else in mind as Painter looked out of his depth on occasions at Championship level. Interesting times ahead!

Yep, agree. I liked him and thought he'd be a cert to sign, particularly as no fee involved. I suppose the move takes him close to his home area which probably suits him and his family.Also, Wednesday may have offered wages close or better than what he could command as a non regular at WBA. Like Brighton (I hope), Wednesday will try and push on next season, with big gates and tradition, even if their ground is an absolute dump.

It's the right move for him. Much bigger club with many more prospects and a team that will be pushing for promotion.

Players are contracted until the end of june. If they dont have a club at that point the existing club is contractually obliged to pay them a redundency paymet. This why players by and large dont sign for new clubs until july. Ones that do have usually done a deal with the old or new club to compensate this payment. so please relax and watch the signings unfold once the players have returned from their pay off holidays.

Some may say we could have offered 6 or 7 and we may have got him but look at Murray 12k a week and he cant get in their team! Gus was right on that one so i trust his judgement on Mattock. No doubt the LB position will be added to, if they really wanted him they would have got him, no doubt, what is more important is the goal keeping position, better to spend the bigger money there, good keepers are difficult to come by. Interesting weeks ahead!

Always had the impression that Mattock didn't quite conform to the Gus plan. Hence the reason why his loan period was allowed to run it's course without further interest.

Great first post. You might struggle to better it.

Ironic that you are a seagull posting sense from Crawley whilst at the other end of the spectrum we have an eagle posting nonsense from Hove.

Concise???? MK Wirral uses purple prose like it is going out of fashion and is verbose in the extreme. Only people unversed in literature and Sun readers (whoops, sorry, that's tautology)would think his contributions concise. Most people could say the same as him in a quarter of the space.

If I was Joe Mattock, I wouldn't be very happy about my dad passing information around about my financial situation. Can I ask also, how you know Murray has a wage of 12K a week.

What an utterly ridiculous comment. Although I rarely comment, I read this site regularly. Although HPR does have differing views to some on this website I have never seen a personal attack or any abusive comments from him/her. In actual fact HPR is probably more entitled to complain about some of the abuse he/she receives in reply to his/her comments. It's a forum where everybody is entitled to an opinion.

There are some good players available, many are Premiership players on Premiership wages, wages we cannot get close to paying. I think we need to remain realistic about our targets.

Any Premiership players currently without a club are not on Premiership wages, Alfie T, and income expectations will need to be lowered in many cases.
There will be good players available on reasonable contracts when reality has had time to filter through.

Perhaps not, but we don't pay anywhere near the wages that these guys have been earning, Mattock signed for Wednesday because of money. It's still the biggest motivator in what can be a short professional career.

Billyboyarnold you need to wind your neck in and stop acting like a cyber policeman who really doesn't understand what he is reading. If you don't like what you read don't come on this site.

This is a site for loyal Brighton Fans not idiots like HPR, as mentioned there are plenty of sites for him to get his kicks, why doesn't he use them and join up with the other morons.

Well said, and you are probably right mate.

Thank you. I am.

Yep, this is true, he only appears on this site to in defense of the Troll / himself, just to draw it out and piggybacks comments, and to date this user hasn't said anything Albion connected despite his Seagull name. Trolls set up multi usernames, though it is weirdly interesting seeing the lengths they go to, it is like they fantasise about the next reaction or the next attempt for a reaction.

I just don’t know why the Trolls have a perverted dedication to do, it's a bit like dogging is probably even getting off on this comment.

Saints fans are 100% behind the acquisition, (for an undisclosed fee).

I don't know whether or not Gus is still away in Uruguay, but in terms of signing players, I believe it isn't necessary for managers to be on hand as most of the negotiating is done between CEO and the players agent. Managers just give a wish list within arranged budgets and can speak with players on their mobile, online etc, etc, probably doing the face to face stuff only after the deal is agreed. I understand that clubs themselves employ agents in many cases.
On a different tack, I was looking for any championship news on the BBC website and spotted a list of the twenty four teams who make up the division this coming season (what a sad old git I've become) and realistically (or not) I would think there are at least fifteen teams who's supporters think their team have a decent chance of at least making the play offs and are probably all chasing the same players to sign, in many cases. What another exciting and tight season it's likely to be.

Blimey, if this is what happens in the off season, hurry up August. If this is what people are now resorting to in real life, then there is no hope!

I'm not associated with (or even the same person as) either of them, but I still think that Billyboyarnold's comments are a little bit sad.

I cannot say that HPR and BHAFCSeagull are the same person because, unlike brightonup, I don't personally know both of them, so I couldn't possibly comment.

But for the record, the first thing I thought when I read Crawleydownseagull's post was that it could have the same origin as HPR.

This is a PUBLIC forum where people can post pretty much whatever they like. HPR hasn't broken any rules, or even insulted anyone. To suggest their posts should be monitored is, quite frankly, pathetic.

In the Paul Barber/David Dean story, I asked BBA on what grounds he was previously going to report HPR, and he went strangely quiet. Here's another opportunity for him.

As I've said before, if you are THAT worried about an internet poster, maybe you should have a word with yourself...

If we are vying with other clubs for a player's signiature, I believe it is vital for there to be a meeting between manager and player.
For example would Vicente have become an Albion player without Gus having the opportunity to sell the club philosophy and style of play to him on a personal level?
And what about CMS? perhaps negotiations with the CEO, followed by a text from Gus would have tempted him? (''Would be gr8 2 have you here Craig'').

You are probably right about the supporters of at least fifteen teams looking at top six, - very similar to the season just gone.
It will no doubt be just as competitive, and many sides will be far more expensively assembled.
To stand any chance of staying at the front of the pack, we will be relying on astute signings and the superior management skills of Gus Poyet.

Cabin, All posts are monitored, any personal remarks are noted, and any individual can be held responsible, it is easy to trace individuals, in the past HPR has made personal remarks that is why some of his comments have been removed.

Agree absolutely!
We can't have players who have demonstrated such an alarming lack of skill playing for the Albion.

Btw, what has religion got to do with it?

If that's the case, I don't think he/she's got anything to worry about. Any negative personal remarks from HPR (and I can't recall many, if any) are far outweighed by the character assassination, name-calling and general vitriol going in the opposite direction. This includes your own suggestion that he/she is "probably not working". Let him without sin, and all that If HPR is, as some people have concluded a "professional troll", the aim of which is, apparently, to wind people up on an internet forum, he is very, very good!
