So when are you seeing him again? Do you think he'll call you back?Dazzler21 said:

Sounds like a plant Dazz.Dazzler21 said:Chatted to a chap on the Thameslink earlier. His name was David and he seemed to know what he was talking about. Said he worked at Brighton in their media team... Haven't googled to verify.
He was sure that Bowyer has signed a pre-contract agreement that if Mehmet is the first buyer to complete before Bowyer's contract runs out, he'll renew his contract for 12 months.
If it's not Mehmet, we can say goodbye to Bow. At least according to this character anyway.
Something else he mentioned:
Bow has several other offers on the table, but is trying to be loyal to the club, but Duchatelet isn't making that easy with such an awful offer, whilst the other offer from CAFC would be competitive in the Championship.
Whether he's a bullshitter or not he was wearing a Brighton branded tracktop. But then loads do on that line, he could well be another WUM.
We were just talking footy as I made a comment about Stephens when we were sat across from one another, bit of chat about Stephens then he asked who I supported and it was like it was all queued up waiting to spill.
I will say he did seem a bit rough round the edges and though we were both going towards Brighton, I assume he was either a fan on a wind up or completely genuine.
Just thought I'd share it as I heard it from him... Just so I don't have to play the 'I heard this weeks ago, but kept quiet as I wasn't sure' kind of bollocks.
It also seemed fitting to Bow's "unusual contract" he received from Duchatelet.14 -
Sounds like the sequel to Girl on the Train...3

“At any point” ? Nope don’t know that one. Can you hum a few bars please0

LMAO nah pretty sure it was a one night stand. He didn't take my number and ordered me an uber to get rid of me sooner once we finished.The Red Robin said:

Honestly it was weird... He did a really formal goodbye as I alighted the train at Burgess Hill, which is when he said something like "(name), Brighton Media Team, nice to meet you."6 -
From Brighton you say?The Red Robin said:

As I say, I just wanted to share so if it does happen I don't end up being one of the BS parade who say "i knew months ago, but excuses"
Instead if it doesn't happen I can be one of the many that has fed the rumour mill by passing on incorrect info.4 -
I know but couldnt you have left his name off? He could get in to trouble at work.0

Should probably have considered that @AFKABartram any chance you could remove the name from quoted messages?Curb_It said:I know but couldnt you have left his name off? He could get in to trouble at work.
Have amended the ones I could.0 -
A friend of mine works in the media team at Brighton and he says there’s nobody called David in their department.56

lets chuck milkshakes (not battery acid) at Roland. That will show him!1

Probably a troll in that case. Which is a bit shite. He did seem to know a lot about our current situation.LouisMend said:A friend of mine works in the media team at Brighton and he says there’s nobody called David in their department.
Hopefully he gave a false name and the rest is legit.
Bit disappointed now to be honest. @LouisMend any chance your friend has heard similar at least?

Craig David? when the crowd say BowLouisMend said:A friend of mine works in the media team at Brighton and he says there’s nobody called David in their department.16 -
I see today as no news is bad news. Especially after they said today was the day.SuedeAdidas said:
I wouldn't say that, no.Braziliance said:If Bowyer doesn't get announced today is it safe to assume he's probably off?
it's obviously a pretty fluid environment at the moment.....
I still think if we don't get Dalman. Lampard goes to Chelsea, Bowyer goes to Derby. Bowyer signs Aribo and Bauer on a free. Lyle puts in his transfer request and then Bowyer puts in a pitiful bid for him which the rat accepts

Ah that’s the takeover thread in a nutshell!LouisMend said:A friend of mine works in the media team at Brighton and he says there’s nobody called David in their department.6 -
Don’t worry, David is quite open about who he is. He even dressed up as a ticket inspector for the journey.Curb_It said:I know but couldnt you have left his name off? He could get in to trouble at work.

Not saying if this bloke was talking bollocks or not, but the point regarding loyalty I think applies where LB is concerned. I think he also knows that he can build on what he done last season and do very well at Charlton, his boyhood club, rather than leave now and end up a Pardew type manager who pops up here and there for short periods.Dazzler21 said:Chatted to a chap on the Thameslink earlier.

Whatever is going on behind the scenes, I personally really fancy the Mehmet / Bowyer combo idea, could the the start of a new era for the Club 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🖕🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞7 - Sponsored links:

Yeah knew there was a chance, but not seen anything to suggest any more than his name was 'utter bollox' as you put it.Goonerhater said:so a random guy on a train turns out to be talking utter bollox ? whoda thought it !!
Nothing to say it's all true either0 -

Just got a text from my gay mate Cuthbert.
He comes from Brighton.
He said that while travelling on a train today some strange bloke who claimed to be a Charlton supporter was coming onto him really heavy.
He asked me if I know who this person was as he would really like to meat (Sorry meet) up for a chat.
Honestly I'm speechless.35
