Iain Hume to sign for Brighton?
After Barnsley’s match at the weekend, their manager Mark Robins confirmed that Albion boss Gus Poyet is after their striker Iain Hume.
Reports have linked him with a move for 200k, although Preston are thought to be interested, which might scupper our plans.
His striking record suggests he’d be a squad striker – he averages a goal every 1-4 games, although most of those games have been at Championship level, suggesting he’s probably a better bet than current back-up forwards Hart and Holroyd.
He’s struggled for form though since a horrific head injury picked up in a match against Sheffield United in 2008.
Still, it’s encouraging to be linked with a name shortly before the close of the transfer window that isn’t Lua Lua. Watch this space!
