Militant Canary 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Yes. Lets believe it wholeheartedly and judge our club harshly for it. We don''t need proof.Its frankly immaterial that so much of our reported business has consistently been proved wrong and that 5/6 of our 8 transfers this summer came completely out of the blue. Lets believe this obvious horses**t just because.Delia out etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hog 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Talksport is spot on for once, it is bloody desperate. The fact that we do not have any decent scouts outside the UK means that when we have to find a striker the only names we can find are these sorry excuses.

Phillip J Fry 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Individual analysis:CMS: Fast, works hard and harries defenders, questions over ability for this level (and indeed the level below it) but would probably be the cheapest of the three. Physically he is probably second fastest of the tree but the smallest in terms of height. Technique wise he could very well be the best, Brighton only sign players that can fit into their continental style of play, which requires good technique and an understanding of attacking footballCole: Big (6ft 3in), not the fastest and lacks the technical ability of either of the other two (and considering one of them is Cameron Jerome, that''s saying ALOT) good in the air, has the most experience of any of the strikers, spending the vast majority of his career in and around the Premier League. He has had two consecutive ten goals seasons in the PL (2008-09 and 2009-10) and scored 15 goals in the West Ham side that got promoted last season.Jerome: By far the fastest of the three players and one of the fastest players I''ve seen EVER. Slightly younger than the other players (26). His technique is inconsistent, at one point brilliant and at others very lackluster. I still remember quite clearly when with his first touch of a game he played the ball straight ahead of him with a delightful touch, ran onto it, and coolly slotted it past the keeper, all this from a aimless long pass. His goalscoring record has never impressed, but this could be explained due to playing in an incredibly defensive Birmingham side under McLeish and as an impact sub for Stoke where he has been played (mainly) on the wing, instead of centrally.But None of these deals are going to happen, so this was all rather pointless.
