Albion sign Dobbie
10:03pm Friday 31st August 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor
Albion have signed Swansea striker Stephen Dobbie on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The Seagulls have seen off competition from Blackpool, Middlesbrough and Bristol City to land the Glaswegian.
Dobbie has scored an impressive 26 goals in 48 starts for Swansea and Blackpool.
Albion manager Gus Poyet said: "He is a quality striker, who will complement our existing forwards and give us different attacking options.
"He has great quality which will unlock defences and I have no doubt he will also score plenty of goals.
"He has played and proven himself at this level and in the Premier League. His goals helped Blackpool win promotion in 2010 and he returned on loan to help them reach the play-off final last season."
Further signings are expected before the 11pm transfer deadline, with reports in Spain claiming Albion are signing Athletic Bilbao midfielder David Lopez in a one-year deal after he cancelled his contract with the La Liga outfit by mutual consent.

And another Spanish midfielder. Only a one year deal having had his contract cancelled though, another sick note signing!!?

David Lopez will play next season in the English Brighton. Rioja midfielder signed for the British club after his contract with Athletic in the last hours. Lopez, who had recently Bielsa, seek to recover their best football at Albion. It loses a bit in translation.

In all seriousness though, we have a team that is not far off of Premier League standard. The Gus bus clearly runs on rocket fuel

Me & the missus are off to California on Wednesday. We're flying into San Fran & touring down the coast to San Diago & then over to Vegas.
Is there anywhere I can watch the B'ton games over there? I'm gutted to be giving away my S.Wednesday ticket so if I can catch any of the action I'm happy (btw I haven't mention this to the missus yet so sssshhhh)

I really hope we get promoted because then I iwll have the chance of seeing them on my soccor channel.
I think our season starts now, the signings we have since the end of last season has made us a different team, and we were a good team last year.

Of course I do know better because my pal in England, or he might be in Cyprus right now, wouldn't wind me up with a question about a journey that we all took just a couple of years ago.
Maybe a coincidence, maybe.

The transfer fee is undisclosed but I bet it was handed over in a sock.

Dobbie will certainly be handy around the house....er, I mean penalty box!
Jokes aside, he's a very good player with just the experience we need.
