[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

- Start date
All gone a little bit quiet last couple of days....I don’t think Delaney will go anywhere until after the World Cup but could see Liam Moore happening perhaps.

Where we are - Friday... - same as Thursday really.
Liam Moore (Reading) - 17/18 Reading Player of the Year, Centre Back, HGP - Albion "interested, but yet to make an offer" - waiting on a possible Goldson exit is still position.

Paddy McNair (Sunderland) - 23 year old NI international, ex Man Utd Midfield, Defender, HGP - No sign of that *new* offer that The Sun said was being "readied" (says The Sun, p55 yesterday) . Local Sunderland press reporting that Chairman getting a bit bullish about keeping him "the vultures are already circling". I think they mean us. via https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...addy-mcnairs-panama-capers-underline-14723449
Thomas Delaney - Danish Midfielder , target last summer . Not announced yet but an overweight lady in Dortmund is gargling her throat very loudly.
What else ?
Davy Propper "struggled to create much" in a Netherlands friendly v Slovakia ( via; http://www.football-oranje.com/netherlands-player-ratings-against-slovakia/ )
Florin Andone had a "minor injury" so wasn't involved in Romania's friendly v Chile.

Where we are - Saturday... -
Liam Moore (Reading) - 17/18 Reading Player of the Year, Centre Back, HGP - Albion "interested, but yet to make an offer" - waiting on a possible Goldson exit is still position. Shrewsbury seem excited by prospect of the 20% sell on as part of the original Goldson transfer - https://www.shropshirestar.com/spor...s-steven-gerrards-rangers-eye-connor-goldson/
Paddy McNair (Sunderland) - 23 year old NI international, ex Man Utd Midfield, Defender, HGP - Sky Sports reported late on Friday that we made an improved £3.5m offer that was rejected. Also reports that unnamed London clubs (believed to be Fulham) also in on the act with a rejected £3.75m bid. Conversely the Argus reports that although talks are ongoing and we're keen, we haven't actually upped our offer.

Was there really any need for that?
Ha ! Not sure there's any NEED for anything on here .

After our two signings very early in the window, (Balogun and then Andone), I seriously wonder if anything more is going to happen until quite late on, the Paddy McNair transfer won't happen unless we up our bid again and get invoved in a price war with the unnamed London club, and we all know that Tony Bloom won't pay more than a player is worth., the Delaney tranfer seems dead in the water anyway, so that just leaves Liam Moore, which we know less about. Get the World Cup over and done with, and perhaps all will become clearer.
Dunk rumours still circulating on twitter - Liverpool or Arsenal.

True. I think l was concentrating more on who may be joining, rather than leaving. Yes you are right about Lewis, but rumours have been rife about him for the past few windows now.
He is a local boy, all his family are big Albion fans, and l think it would take an awful lot to lure him away. Money talks of course, but apart from that, why would a move to any club apart from the top four interest him? He is Albion's captain in waiting, in the form of his life, and still getting better.

Spot on, I can’t see the point in Lewis moving to anywhere else but a top 6 club.
At the moment would any of them pay the money we would want ? I don’t think so quite yet, if he has another season as impressive as last then I think next summer he will be off. But I think there are several other CB the top 6 will be targeting this summer.
Agree, but a top 6 club, double or triple his salary, European football and a much better chance of being picked for England would interest anyone. Local chatter in Hurst/Hassocks (through people connected with work being done on his house) is that he is off, but that’s been the case for months so probably just village gossip.........
Think the opportunity will definitely come for him, just a question of when, and how much we hold out for.

When I was last in Hurst/Hassocks the chatter was still about the best looking sheep

Are all his family Brighton fans? I recall the family dog being named Didier and Dunk himself is a Chelsea fan.

[MENTION=20008]dadams2k11[/MENTION] is right - it has been reported that all his family are big Chelsea fans, not Albion.

I knew I didn't make it - Dunk said it in an interview before the Chelsea game iirc.
