Can we attempt to get most of our signings completed before the season starts which will give the new players ( if any are signed ) a chance to bond and practise the way CH wants them to play before the competitive season is upon us

To be fair we have mentioned every striker under the sun in the last 4 weeks, Naylor would be doing well to pick a name that hasn't been mentioned at least once on NSC.
All Naylor has to do is pick a striker that has never played or had any previous connection to the Albion, and he's pretty safe.

Absolutely no chance of Guidetti joining us. He has already priced himself out of a move to Feyernoord by asking for 'astronomical' wages, also said back in April whilst still on loan at Celtic that he wasn't interested in joining them permanently which led to him being dropped from the first team there. Will probably end up at a Premiership club, Everton, Norwich and Bournemouth have all been linked recently.

I don't think thats true, he asked for a massive signing on fee and was offered £15,000 a week. Can we afford to offer him £15k a week I don't know but maybe we would be willing to pay a signing on fee of a million or so ir we really wanted him?

People mock Naylor when he reveals targets after they have been mentioned on here. However, posters on here can mention any sort of rumour without fear of consequence.

Naylor is only likely to report a target once he has verified it through a reliable source - he has his professional reputation to think of. I pay much more attention to Naylor's tweets than most, as you can (in the main) be confident it has been backed up.

Yes the triple whammy he claimed last summer was a great coup. Imagine where we would have been without Adam Clayton and Stephen Ward.

Those deals, as you are fully aware, were (apparently) almost complete but fell through at the last minute. Naylor, like almost every other supposed "ITK" on here expected them to go through. As, by all accounts, did the club.

He's not always right but, as I said in my previous post, at least you can be sure his stories have some substance. I find it a little strange when people react with smug satisfaction when Naylor is slightly wide of the mark.

The Argus is one of the few independent sources of Albion news available. I've never understood the animosity towards them on here.

well its probably totally unreasonable of me BUT i can't bear the fact that he is a Brighton person, has a job a lot of us would love to do (and he does it pretty badly) and is a Stoke fan, which he regularly manages to remind us all about.

its my opinion that he is a bell end - you don't have to share it.

I have never heard him say or read anything where he states that he is a Stoke fan. I think he does an ok job

You do understand it's his job to be right? Right? It's like me paying my plumber to nearly fix the bath.
