Awful, not worth pursuing at all. Leave him with us, you'll regret signing him.

I heard he gets seasick! Don't sign him! Just looking out over Brighton Pier will make him vomit!

Palace Pier please

No details, just that we are interested (heard from a mate out in Portugal, watching Brighton in a preseason tour).

Good luck for the season, and I hope you enjoy your day out at the Amex.

Cheers.

A few points,

Amex? is that what the new ground is called? That's a horrible name.

Your transfer source sounds as reliable as our takeover talk rumours that we have had on our preseason 'tour' to Hinckley and Nuneaton.

As for Ben Turner, got injured last season so not reliable he didn't have the best of season 09/10 so based on that form I wouldn't bother

Look elsewhere Brighton! You wouldnt want to sign him! Error prone, never committed to the cause, generally an all round shit player (was I convincing enough?? )

Yeah, much more likely to go to Birmingham. He was a quality player last season when fit, but he's had a couple of terrible injuries in the past few years. Time will tell if he can ever get back to what he was before-or even play at all. I'd be waiting until he proves his fitness before spending silly money.

Whether he stays with us or leaves i hope he recovers as he got through a shaky start to show real promise

Turner is still under contract & Birmingham have no money to buy players. He isn't going anywhere.

Contracts have long since meant nothing

We will really have hit rock bottom if a player leaves us to further his career at Brighton.

The facts are Brighton have bought and paid for their own ground. Season tickets sold out. All home seats expected to be sold. An exciting team managed by a great former player. The days when we looked down our noses at the likes of Brighton are long gone, they will finish next season higher than us, and will certainly see Premiership football before us.

Kuklinkski isn't far wrong. And each and everyone of those sold out seats at Brighton (18,000 season tickets sold - more than twice what big City Coventry have sold) is padded for extra comfort at no extra charge -
The REAL long long term INVESTORS in Coventry, the fans, have consistently deserted their club. It is the major reason we are in the mess we are.

What and brighton fans are somehow diehard loyalists compared to us? Don t think so. You see i thought the downfall of our club was dire mismanagemen and selling our home whereas actually all along it was the fans fault

I'm not suggesting Brighton fans are die hard loyalists, but the facts are they have more or less double the amount of season ticket holders than we do. They own their own ground (a lovely stadium by the University) and the club has a bit of a buzz around it at the moment.

The old chicken and egg situation. Sorry btw i should have quoted the previous post i commented. In fact i agree entirely with you. We have to accept that things have changed and as a homeless debt ridden club at the wrong end of the league we shouldnt look down on people

Fans follow success & Brighton are on the up, its not as is they have never been in the top flight, they flirt with it every so often.
But to get back to the point of the thread, Ben Turner is ours and has a seagull phobia, GO AWAY. LOL

Hi guys, my first post on here. :wave:

Just saw the other thread from some Albion muppet giving it large on here, sorry about that, a bit embarassing that he's one of us.

One of your lot in that thread said we'd signed a few players but all that made us was Championship level, rather than good. I'd 100% agree. We weren't expected to go up last season and kinda did it through being a great team rather than having outstanding individuals.

Mid-Table mediocrity would be brilliant, the aim now has to be to establish ourselves at this level and it looks a bloody tough league.

Love your poster who was a picture of Whingy celebrating that goal at Highfield road, what a legend! Loved that ground although was very impressed with your new place last time I came up (Dennis Wise single handedly ran that game iirc!).

Anyway, all the best, looking forward to playing you.
