Albion to unleash Vicente (From The Argus)

Unleash the beast! keep him fit and we will be a force...he would be a class act in the Premiership let alone the Championship!

Noone andHoskins travelling to play tonight. Interesting to see Dickenson for the first time to get a feel for what he might have to offer. An hour might be ambitious for a few of them - training hard is taking it out of their legs but hopefully we will see Tommy again, maybe tomorrow?
Cardiff and Barnsley home game tickets on general sale from 5pm today

I am becoming quite sensitive to the big V's needs for equally skilled players around him and also realise that GP has a tendency to look to south America in his quest for talent. I have therefore taken it upon myself to seach for the required players required to complete our squad. Here are my findings : Alvaro Fernandez, currently at Seattle could fill the midfield slot whilst Federico Puppo, in Chicago, could look a good option alongside CMS. They are both Uraguayan so that meets one criteria... They are both quite good which completes another. They are no doubt too expensive which is par for the course but where there is a will there is a way... We simply convince Suarez to stay at Liverpool (not beyond GP's powers given that they talk every other day) and get him to charm them over the Atlantic to sign on for Liverpool. So far, so good. Now we convince Rogers to put them both out on a season long loan - simples... and after all, he owes us one almighty big favour after offloading Harley on us a year ago!!!

Yes dear readers, it's Friday afternoon and I have some spare time on my hands but wow, I pride myself on my initiative (basically because no-one else will). Hopefully GP will have some time to spare and get on the 'phone - I'll always find time to give him a couple of minutes.

Here's a rumour that might have something in it. If you want players with top flight experience, champions league winners medals and international caps .... Ladies and gents I give you Guti.

A friend of mine who works at a national paper has said Guti's agent is doing the rounds and has has a chat with folks at the Amex. Just a chat mind

Is he the one training with West Ham currently - or did that not happen? Think he is in late 30's

That's the one - he was training with them but don't know if he still is. If they don't want him then I guess the Championship could be an option.

You're right about age though - 35 - not sure if he's a good fit for us?

Thanks for the research JM - thniking outside the box too !
Also appreciated your tip about 'newsnow' who carried this story before it appeared on the Argus's own website.
Poyet yet again saying there's a possibility of a signing but he clearly doesn't seem confident of anything happening before the departure to Spain.
Really looking forward to the 'midfield powerhouse' being signed (I notice Koren of Hull seems to be available) and eventually another striker.
Hoskins initial form has been promosing and if it continues might make the striker signing slightly less important. I really would like to see him paired with CMS.

I don't believe they could agree a deal. Maybe he was asking for a long contract or too much money?

or even 'form has been promising'

Good post Jonathan. Your research is excellent and your initiative commendable. Keep at it and ignore the traffic wardens on here.

Always happy to be of service Ballantrrae, if that is indeed your name - looks awfully like yet another of your typos to me!

Haha! Good bit of Friday fun, JM.

You seemed a bit neurotic at first but now we see the lighter side.

Have a good weekend!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArghh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thank god that weeks over with (work). Right who we gonna sign. It's all gone quiet over there...

Brighton have missed out on signing Genoa's Uruguayan striker Sebastian Relas. Poyet used to play in the same team as Relas's father.

*drool*

He's a class act and was shockingly under-employed at El Estadio Santiago De Bernabeu...although he has a (metaphorical) head the size of Joey Barton's (metaphorical) mouth!

Would be a stunning signing...therefore don't hold your breath but you never know, I guess.

Yes aren't we an extra 'r' in credit perchance? ;0)

Yeah the Argus picked that one up the other day... Ribas would have been decent acquisition but no chance against Monaco's tax free and ludicrously high pay scale :0(

You also say on a previous thread, ''The many traffic wardens on this site make posting any serious debate virtually impossible''.
Are these 'traffic wardens' by any chance the same people who don't agree with your opinions?
Debate involves people with different views and opinions discussing a subject.
Paranoia is a different matter altogether.

Completely missed that, I saw it on a rumours site today, doh!

But it just shows that we are working really hard targeting players behind the scenes.

There are many an old Chinese proverb;

Deong chong ding don shon - Patience is a virtue

and

Meow chung ding mang chi - Good things come to those who wait.

Or is that just a Guinness advert?

There is a difference between constuctive debate and snide comments Gordon. You're one of the traffic wardens referred to. Your post confirms it.

To be honest I've never witnessed a constructive debate from you Chip.

I am issuing you with a ticket for parking your rubbish on here!

Thought you might spout in Hosepipe.
Your posts are not even worth debating.

Chip of Goring--or should that be Chip off Shoulder??!!--Chill out do not take things so seriously thats why I am in Spain and not UK--folk over there take things so seriously and quite rightly people are entitled to their opinions--have you not realised that this is a debating site?? Have a glass of wine or whisky and just laugh if the comments do not suit you. Summers coming to the UK next week so that may put you in a better mood. no offence mate.

No offence taken Mike. I've just enjoyed a nice glass of red and am looking forward to the new season. Hovite can't forget a brief discussion weeks ago and decides to snipe every time I post. Best for me to move on. I can do without.

If you call jumping in with abuse on a debate I am having with someone else a discussion?

I seem to remember you saying;
You write some cr4p Hovite, another idiotic comment from a local numpty, You should be in bed Hovespite. Now, now little man. Go to bed. It's past your bed time. With your Nightly ovaltine and a nice ginger biscuit. I reckon HPR and Hovespite are the same person. Jekyll and Hyde.

All snide comments, no humour,no debate and no discussion.

I haven't got a problem with you, I just think it's funny when someone gives it but they can't take it.

Still, I am happy to call a truce,I'm just making a point and irritating you, thats all. It's all fun.

Your constructive posts will gain credibility if those containing abuse are discontinued, Chip of Goring.

Btw, I enjoyed your strategy JM :)
