According to HITC Sport :
"  Brighton and Hove Albion have rejected a bid from Aston Villa for key midfielder Dale Stephens.
Dale Stephens is out of contract in the summer so Aston Villa are trying to snap him up on a cut-price deal.
The 27-year-old is an integral part of Brighton’s successful midfield as he keeps things ticking over with tidy and composed displays in the middle of the park " .

A player who "keeps things ticking over with tidy and composed displays in the middle of the park "  ?.....Hmmmm sounds like someone elses job ( alleged ) description ..............Godzvilla?

Can't the club do a "Buy One Get One Free" promotion on Flabby*, Driftwood** et al....

We were sniffing around him at the same time as Westwood. He's OK, not much more.

But compared to Westwank he looks like Gerrard!

Welcome Sam. I fully expect your last name to be spelt incorrectly from this point onwards.

So the smell of shit wasn't quite as strong and lingering as with Westwood.

He is about as slow as Gardner, but better on that ball than him.

I don't have a problem with slow midfielders. It's the ones that can't pass or tackle either that I have an issue with.

I do, we desperately need to add someone with a bit of pace into the team, we're far too slow in midfield.

Absolutely

we need two in the centre who can drive us forward and quicken our game

They also have to have quickness of mind.

We need both really. But I wouldn't say no to a Barry type with no pace but good passing instead of any of Westwood/Gardner/Jedi.

[cdbearsfan]

We need pace and energy more than anything else in midfield.

More than anything we need a midfield ;-)

According to the Mirror today,McCormack, Jedinak and Elphick are among the players Bruce is open to moving on to make space for new signings. Hope the other players he's hoping to move on are Bunn, Hutton, Richards, Westwood, Gardner, Agbonlahor ,Ayew, Cissokho and Vertout. I put the last one in, as it seems he doesn't want to come back even when his loan is finished.
