Think he will do well at Brighton and probably top their scoring chart. Good luck to the lad, and hope he does well and stays fit. Like others have said - time to move on !
 
All this talk about him "bottling it" and having a massive ego is ridiculous. It makes us all look bitter; people were incredibly excited on Friday at the prospect of signing him and it looks churlish to start slating the fella now.

Well personally I was never excited about him coming here, I thought he'd do OK but I would never have him as our main striker. I could have taken or left him.

You have to admit it's a very strange one though, with respect to Brighton - why?
 
He never turned down Norwich or QPR, that was just spin from Barry Fry to get his players price up.

He's gone for £2.5m(potentially rising to £3.25m with add-on's) and frankly, he's not worth that much, so your better off without him(Norwich saw sense and switched to Danny Graham for £3.5m, which was far better business).

As for why he went there, they have a new stadium, it will be sold out next season, he will be their No.1 star player, they have one of the best managers in the league and his missus probably fancied living on the south coast. These things happen.

Let's face it. Where would you rather move to?

Brighton or Leicester? And before you start you can include Hull in that question too!

Brighton do have some money behind them, 19000 season passes sold already, a new stadium, an excellent manager and a passing mentality.

As much as Leicester are seen as one of the big boys in this league you didn't pull up many trees last year (I expect you finish much higher this year though).

Brighton could be a danger to us all next month onwards.

Add to this that CMS wants to be one of the first names on the teamsheet then it all makes sense.

I bet you are all jealous of our signing of Dele Adebola recently!
 
Actually we did pull up trees.

Wed have finished 4th if it wasn't for Sousas shambles.

If you take Sven's points per game ratio.

Also with a team that wasn't his.
