Moving into the last 11.5 days of the window.... no sign of anything yet...

Recalls for Gyokeres and Mlakar looking the most likely strategy for striker additions...

Could work. It's done well for us so far - bring in Connolly, surprises everyone, scores a couple of beauties, then fades/disappears. Brought in Jahanbakhsh, surprises everyone, scores a couple of beauties, then fades/disappears. Rinse and repeat with Gyokeres, and maybe again with Cashman and Radulovic ....... job done!
:thumbsup:

Not Mlakar though, he's not even playing, let alone scoring - he needs to be recalled, but not for us, but to go out on a decent loan with playing time.

panic stations.... haha damn people take a bloody chill pill.

That is the sort of attitude, if shared by our club, that will get us relegated...

What a huge joke that would be... we have one inexperienced and not ready striker, one over the hill striker, and an over-reliance on Maupay... we need to bring in a striker who can contribute from the off, not another two inexperienced lads...

Absolutely.

I mean we are now pretty much 3 weeks into a 31 day window with no sight nor sound of a signing...

I don't think 'panic' is the word, more like a sense of growing realisation and resignation that there is some significant chance that no players will be brought in at all...

You are starting to sound like a newbie on here, when has it ever been any different? :lolol:

Well, DJ Strollabout was brought in at the start of a January window... In the Summer we have had the early signings of Groß and Andone...

Que Sera Sera... It is what it is.... I doubt we are bringing anyone in... addition by subtraction... maybe I'll be surprised...

I expect nothing but will get very excited if we do bring in even one quality player who has a record at the highest level. Never say never until the window slams shut.

I think l realised that at the beginning of the window! With very few exceptions it has been the same every January. Tony Bloom is only too aware that to bring in any new blood at this time of year, will cost crazily inflated transfer fees, and he just won't pay them.

We will just have to make do with who we already have.

It is simply our place in the pecking order. We could go out today and buy half a dozen average players, no problem.

We'll have our sights set a little higher, which is a good thing, except that we can only get them once bigger, richer clubs have considered and then declined them

Bakero · Jan 20, 2020

This window we are one of 9 clubs that are yet to make a signing. 3 clubs have made 2 signings, the others just 1.

Perhaps Andone will make a (sheepish) return if he is close to fitness .....IMO better than no one.

Yep, if we can’t get a striker in I’d use him

He would be a better option than calling 'DJ trudge' back . . . . but would he fit in with the rest of the squad again, and what about the no dickheads policy ?

We are still paying his wages so get out on the grass and earn them

If Andone came back,played and scored he would be forgiven by the majority of Brighton fans.

Blue Valkyrie · Jan 20, 2020

Yes, Andone would go from Zero to Hero if he scored to keep us up.

Panic buy in the January window. That went well - perhaps TB is reluctant to repeat it.

Just seen what looked like a Lamborghini 4x4 (it was massive) by Lancing's Grinstead Lane which is just a 1/4 mile from Training Centre. This could be a football agent who looked well dressed in his 40s. I could not see who was in passenger seat though. Could be something . . . or nothing. That's if football agents drive Lamborghinis.

No ones basically signed anyone. Tosun signing is the only rival who has improved their team.

Expect West Ham will throw 30m to some random soon enough though.

Exactly. Yet some believe our lack of action so far is a sign that we have no intention of doing anything.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
