Happy with that if it happens.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Good signing, very happy to have a permanent left back.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Very good signing could solve our LWB position for the next 3 years

 

[fatso]

Ideal signing if it happens, would certainly add quality competition.

 

[JoshCCFC1987]

28 so prime age with over 200 games at this level for top half clubs on a free seems very good business

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Very happy if that happened - miserable doesn't ever smile type of defender (could fit in well with Sheaf!). Also gets forward a lot iirc.
Had heard rumours Blues were after him, but we would be a lot stronger defensively if we could get hold of him.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Experienced freebie in January...nice
Surprised Swansea aren't asking for a fee of any kind, as the article says this would leave them short at the back.

 

[Grendel]

Dabo on his way if this happens which I think is fair enough

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You’ve put 2 and 2 together and got 5 Grendel

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Where to ?

 

[Sick Boy]

Along with Kane it’d be another astute signing.

 

[SkyBlueTam]

He's been in my fantasy team and scored me plenty of points, so I recommend him.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Dabo on his way if this happens which I think is fair enough

Nope

 

[Frostie]

Brilliant bit of business.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Why? We sign a left back so let's get rid of a right back, leaving us only Kane and if he gets injured/suspended we're down to playing Dacosta.

 

[David O'Day]

Nope

Yeah, be a weird flex to sell a player the manger likes. Also we need multiple players that can play rwb

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

That would be a fantastic signing methinks especially if its a free

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Robins always pulls this shrewd signings out the bag when we have “no cash.” Never change mark.

The club is operating on a shoe string and has had to take further high interest loans - if we really are signing an experience player on a long contract then someone is going

 

[samccov1987]

Decent signing for us, just wonder if we are looking at change of formation. Kane and Bidwell more traditional full backs than the wing back style we have played in recent seasons.

 

[Frostie]

Yes. Pask, Jobello, Hilßner & possibly Shipley.

Possibly from binning off a combination from the bomb squad?

 

[Grendel]

Yes. Pask, Jobello, Hilßner & possibly Shipley.

Two are out of contract one going nowhere the other paid off

Shippers - end of conundrum. You can rest easy now G

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Shipley and Hilsner

 

[Grendel]

Shippers - end of conundrum. You can rest easy now G

he’s out of contract in the summer anyway - the clubs in severe financial difficulties looking at the latest companies house loan submission

 

[Frostie]

Two are out of contract one going nowhere the other paid off

And?
You wouldn't raise much of a fee selling Dabo anyway.

 

[Grendel]

Shipley and Hilsner

Hillsner - where’s he going?

 

[Grendel]

And?

You’d raise more than Shipley

 

[Frostie]

Hillsner - where’s he going?

Has clubs in Germany & this country interested, Robins expects him to move this window.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Hillsner - where’s he going?

Robins has said that he and his representatives are in talks with a couple of other clubs both in England and Germany

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Is Dabo the new Biamou for Grendel or something?

 

[Frostie]

You’d raise more than Shipley

Probably but a few hundred £k isn't going to suddenly plug a void in the accounts.

 

[Frostie]

Is Dabo the new Biamou for Grendel or something?

He just can't ever be happy & has to even find a way to turn an incredibly positive story such as this into a dig at the club.
