.....and presumably would have been if still a Brighton player, as with CG and the BFG out injured, he would certainly have been getting game time for us. And long term, playing for a sh*tty Blackburn team conceding shedloads of goals isn't going to do much for his international credentials...

That's working well, eh? Couldn't even get a game against Malta..........

Can't help feeling Blackburn have done rather well out of this. They've got Greer, plus £4M in exchange for Duffy. I know Greer is nearing, or getting past, his sell-by date, but we have a crop of young CBs (White and the Scottish lad (Hall?), and Tom Dallison still on our books) looking for a...

Hamstring on the seagulls website report too.

'When' is very material. You clearly cited Napier as the last CB we got from that area; he wasn't. However, there is only one thing in this world more certain than death and taxes so I won't fight it. Over to you for you to have the last word.........!

But much better, and much later.........

The last one I remember from that area was from Preston, and (even) better than JN!

......and to think that some of us find Robbie Burns completely unintelligible ..............

Are you referring to that Booby Moore - the one who lacked pace and wasn't terribly good in the air?

So, we've splashed the cash. Maybe not quite £4.5 million, but we've smashed our previous transfer record - but I still feel a bit underwhelmed. That's just my personal opinion - but I don't think I'm the only one. However, there are zillions of good reasons why CH is in charge and not me, and...

Possibly, yes - that would be my choice too. But if CH thinks different, then obviously I'll defer to his judgement. Certainly not going to start shouting 'he's rubbish!' if Duffy comes to the club, but I think he's going to have his work cut out to persuade many that he's better than Dunk and...

My guess would be coincidence. I think that if we were breaking our transfer record to bring in a player, and he was insisting on the 22 shirt, then Holla, if still here, would quietly be re-numbered! Didn't something like that happen when Zamora came in last season?

Yes, and I'll happily agree with anybody who suggests that CH knows far more about it than I do!

No offence intended. I've probably been reading too many of Davemania's posts! Quite happy with different opinions, but some have been getting a bit heated on here lately.

Yes, quite. But if you look back, I was commenting on the posts suggesting that Duffy coming in was to pave the way for Dunk to leave. Four quality CBs is my ideal too - though tbh I think I'd rather have a quality season long loan, a la Upson, to cover until White/Hall/Dallison are ready to...

..................or how about whoever wants Dunk pays Blackburn £4.5 million for Duffy, and we just keep Dunk? I really think that Dunk with Goldson could be a partnership that just goes on getting better.

Not sure I'd be very whelmed by Duffy's arrival, especially not for £4.5 million. If it happens, though, hope I'm proved wrong.

So how many left backs do you think there should be in a Championship squad? :)

Season long loan, shirley.................................
