I can't really get over excited over Sonko signing :(

Yes, he's good. But for the second half of last season his was poor, a totally different player to the first half of the season.

I think Bees fans that are basing a possible play off assualt on his signature are getting a little too ahead of themselves.

Westcounty Bee you have beeen playing toooooooooooooo much ABE?:rolleyes:
 

Sonko signs!

The good news about having so many Internationals in our team now is that Heathrow is on our doorstep, thus minimizing travel time.....

the bad news is they keep missing matches for us.:sad:
 

Sonko signs!

This is great news. I just hope it's confirmation, and not speculation. It's great to see the club exercising the option and i'm far more positive for next season than I was three hours ago!

Yes Sonko was poor at the end of last season, but all our young players tired as the season progressed. Perhaps more fitness and training could sort out that minor issue.

5000plus season tickets sold at an average price of £480, you do the maths......who says we don't have a bit of cash

Unfortunately the money is going on public enquiries and professional fees in order to get planning permission for the new ground at Falmer and not on team improvement

Blimey, he's right you know.

BHA season tickets are up to £550 for adults and between £268 and £330 for concessions. And to think people moan about our prices. :rolleyes:

Anyway back on topic, great news about Sonks. It wouldn't be such a bad thing if he played till Christmas like he did last year and we sold him for £4m would it? I think Liverpool might take him, they seem keen on Senegalese (or is it Senegalians or Senwegians ??
 

Sonko signs!

Brighton have only sold so many season tickets because it's the only chance their fans have of getting into that so-called stadium! On average, they will have less income.
 

Sonko signs!

If worse comes to worse we coudl sell ibu for a fair amount of dosh dont ya think?
 

Sonko signs!

Great news and even if we do sell him early on in the season it is better than letting him go for nothing.

It now looks likely that we will start the season with a decent defence, which should help us to get a good start and we can build from there.

Yes, I was wondering what the article means too. He hasn't signed yet has he!
 

Sonko signs!

Sonko will be sold this season for as much as we can get - I wouldn`t be surprised if it`s peanuts.

I can`t see BU risking no fee at the end of his contract (not sure about under 24 rule).

Sonko is a good player but only with the right players around him.

MARSHALL MUST GO..NOW!!:wave:

£3K a week for a slow awkward centre half...thanks Ron.
 

Sonko signs!

I think we are all getting a bit blase about Sonko.

We were all spoiled by Powell and Ivar and the best compliment we can give to Sonko and Leo last season is that we hardly missed them.

Sure it would be great to cash in on Sonko but even if we don't we have got a class act for nothing - enjoy him.

I thought Marshalls contract had expired so presumably if it is renewed at all, it won't be on the same terms.

He is decent enough cover for the centre halves we have and if Leo Roget plays as poorly as he did towards the end of last year Marshall may have some use.

I hope he isn't being offered anything over the standard £500pw though. If he wants to stay in football he can use some of the £450k he has earned for the last three years to supplement his wages. Dont feel too sorry for him.

I agree though, he's not good enough to be offered anything over the minimum.
 

Sonko signs!

'he's not good enough to be offered anything over the minimum'

You could have finished that sentence a lot earlier. He is awful and makes shane westley look quick!

At the bottom it says only Jamie Fullarton and Steve Hunt have failed to accept new contracts, I seem to remember Marshall was offered one does this mean he has provisonally accepted it or is about to sign as well?

that's what i was wondering too :confused:

great news about Ibu if it turns out to be true!

I know Roget picked up a nasty injury but over the season I thought that Marshall was far more defensively solid than Roget. He was magnificnet in the cup game against Wycombe.

Marshall reads the game extemely well and is good in the air. His lack of pace is not so much of a problem if Sonko is around to sweep up.

Marshall may be a nice bloke and good golfer but on the Football Pitch he's a Donkey who gets knocked off the ball by a strong wind !

With all the out of work players available, there's got to be better than Marshall available.

Haven't we enough defenders with Fieldwick, Frampton, Somner, Roget, Sonko (hopefully !), Dobson ?

How about allocate Frampton & Somner to centre roles and bring Gibbo back in ?

Not that well otherwise he'd get the ball when he lays on the ground waving his legs in the air.

Ah yes, that "tackle" at Bournemouth last season ! :eek:

:D :D

Great news for all bees fans for the forthcoming season Sonko has kept faith with brentford for another season I respect him for this. Now we can continue to sing his song before matches,
during and after.

Sonko oooooooo sonko ooooooo he comes from Senegal he cost the bees **** all. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
 

Sonko signs!

my dad rates him but i think hes okay with a lot to learn
 

Sonko signs!

anyone else getting a bit worried about the lack of 'confirmation'

Hope to god I'm wrong but the silence is deafening

markbfc.......please put us out of our misery
 

Sonko signs!

Surely the official site is confirmation not speculation? Surely mark wouldn't have put up that information without being told by the powers that be that the deal was done. So there's no need to worry BeeH.

Well, what we said was he has agreed to sign. That is confirmation - not speculation. I was loath to say he would sign next week knowing it took four months (!) last time around but my hand was forced. Ibu will no doubt put pen-to-paper this week, as he has arrived back in training.

I think we all knew that - apart from the first part of the last sentence :)

Until Monsieur Sonko actually physically signs the contract, I'll worry !

It is nice of the Exec Comm to tell us that he's "verbally agreed" to sign but that means sweet f*ck all in this day and age :no:
 

Sonko signs!

and put an end to this clique thread...
 

Sonko signs!

:confused: :nono:

This is deadly important, on the pitch and financially. Bee H is right to get anxious. In the modern world "he said he'll sign...erm, soon" is pretty useless, and I'm getting nervous as well. Wasn't Sol Campbell "going to sign..erm soon" for a whole year before he f***ed off to Arsenal, as he had always intended. It's a likely as not that his agent is fielding offers and we're the fall-back. If it doesn't make you nervous, it should.
 

Sonko signs!

yes, but asking on here every 5 minutes whther he has signed or not ain't gonna make any difference is it.

How do you know?

Also will all the trialists - that is - Geddes, Rahim, Lehman and the two boro lads be playing in the friendly against reading?
 

Sonko signs!

Hooray - now down to the boozer!!!!

Oh! No! must work through and then collect daughter from Gatwick at 10.40 tonight!

Still - am down at the boozer mentally!!

rofl rofl rofl
 

Sonko signs!

Team is really starting to take shape! Back 4 sorted, and then some, options in the midfield and in attack with loads of trialists in trying to be a part of the Mighty Bees. You could actually find yourself getting a bit optimistic!

:)

Or a whole lot optimistic! Roll on August!!

:banana: :bound: :banana: :crazy3: :nutty: :jester: :beer:
 

Sonko signs!

Despite this news being good, I fail to see the optimism?

Only a good start saved us from relegation last year, no-one has come in and we have lost Rowlands, Vine I don't think is with the squad, possibly Hunt, and then lack of squad members such as Fullarton, McCammon and Marshall?

Unless we sign a few, which I very much doubt, its uphill all the way..

Don't go slagging Wally come March when were fighting for our lives again..
