I wonder whether SISU will try to sell Sky Blue Sam? He might be playing next season at this rate!

Why do you think he has a squad number, LOL

Nothing would surprise me with SISU.

This is the squad on the offal

1 Joe Murphy Goalkeeper
2 Richard Keogh Defender
3 Chris Hussey Defender
6 James McPake Defender
7 David Bell Midfielder
8 Carl Baker Midfielder
11 Gary McSheffrey Striker
12 Gary Deegan Midfielder
13 Chris Dunn Goalkeeper
14 Cody McDonald Striker
15 Martin Cranie Defender
19 Roy O'Donovan Striker
24 Richard Wood Defender
26 Jordan Clarke Defender
27 Shaun Jeffers Striker
28 Callum Wilson Striker
29 Billy Daniels Striker
30 Nathan Cameron Defender
31 Cyrus Christie Defender

34 Gael Bigirimana Midfielder
35 Joshua Ruffels Midfielder
36 Aaron Phillips Midfielder
37 Jordan Willis Defender
38 Will Roberts Midfielder
39 Joe Henderson
99 Sky Blue Sam

I think Cranie is out of contract, so we won't be seeing him

TBF that is 27, 5 of whome will be leaving. so maybe 7 experienced freebies / loanees will do it.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Still got a feeling something will happen within 14 days. But feel we need to get it out there that when it does, we need 11 signings. Anything else is not competitive.

How do we get it out there. I have let Mr Mutton know my view.

Can you speak to Andy Turner BSB or has that relationship soured?

I e-mailed him at the time asking him to let me know when he'd spoken to Fisher. I e-mailed him again when the story was published to thank him for helping put it out in public, and he didn't respond on either occasion.

 

[dongonzalos]

Not worth it then. If that is the thanks.....

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don't claim credit for uncovering it-that was OSB's own digging. I'm pleased though that it led to ARVO being brought to public attention, but the way the Telegraph claimed all of it as their own work and findings left a sour taste in the mouth for me.

 

[dongonzalos]

I know.......

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

When we got promotion in 1962 and 1967 and won the cup in 1987 i bet we never used 16 players in any of those seasons

I don't think that you realize we had a big squad of players, being able to draw on the Reserve team players if required........Along with the knowledge that, players then, weren't wusses like they are nowadays, and played with injuries that would have half of todays lot crying for mummy.:facepalm:

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

I remember seeing George Curtis play with a purple bruise that went from his ankle up to his thigh....Now that was one hell of a hard man!
