Albion re-sign Adam Virgo
10:00am Monday 30th June 2008
Adam Virgo has rejoined Albion on a free transfer from Celtic.
The versatile 25-year-old has signed a two-year contract and reported with the rest of the squad for the start of pre-season training today.
Virgo's return, first revealed by The Argus three weeks ago, sees him link up with manager Micky Adams for a fourth time.
Adams gave him his Albion debut seven years ago. He later signed Virgo on loan from Celtic when he was Coventry manager and was assistant manager at Colchester last season when the Essex club also borrowed him from the Scottish giants.
Are you glad to see Virgo back?

Great news. Welcome back Adam. Also great business by the club to sell a player for £1.5m and re-sign on a free transfer. I hope he plays up front. Remember his great goals against Leicester, Watford, Ipswich and Swindon.

step in the wrong direction maybe? Im not going to question adams because his track records is quality but if he couldnt get into colchester's team and they were probablly the worst team in the championship then how is he going to help us get promoted?? sorry i dont like being negative!

Dont know where Elphick to Wolves rumours come from ? They have signed a defender from Leicester & due to sign another from Swindon cant see they will need 3 new defenders ? I am afraid Hinshelwood will never play again so will need the cover.

After not making the grade at Celtic he dropped down to Colchester and nobody else seems to want him,but lets give him a second chance.
I fear as last year Knight has a deadly plan,Sign a freebie then sell,he would`nt try that one again,would he?

Lynch
El-Abd
Virgo
Hawkins
Hinshelwood
Pearson
I assume Pearson will be loaned out. But surely this is the end for sicknote?
Does this mean Lynch will play at LB?

So if your right, then we would never sign any one, and the club would crumble. As for you saing that this club must call it day, you can't be a true brighton fan becasue we would never give up even if we were playing at Hove park every saterday!
Well thats the best bit of the little money Adams did have gone on wages.As for sick note hinshelwood the club must call it a day very soon.Plus the fact Mayo,Hart,and Reid can't get one other club to even look at them even when on a free means its time over for them.

Olympics blog: In Beijing
Since the last post time has been flying past and now that we are in Beijing the Olympics (and partying) are our number one focus. We travelled Shanghai to Beijing via overnight train in a sleeper. It was much better than expected - we had a great meal in the buffet and few beers and a nightcap before sleeping soundly. The fare is around 45 quid and we would recommend it to any one.
