“I don’t think Moussa is desperate to leave. The situation is where it is. But nothing has actually happened yet, it’s been speculation.

“Here we are with nine or ten days to go and there’s been no formal bid.

Come on Mr Bloom - you know you want to :albion2:

To say that because a league is weak, then all players in that league are poor is illogical. By your reasoning because Henrik Larsson played for Celtic he was no better than a league one level striker.

While I agree to some extent (you occasionally get a decent player in league one after all!), Henrik Larson last played played for Celtic in 2004, more than 13 years ago. Scottish football has declined significantly since then.

We will not spend 35M on 2 new strikers in this window.. And nor should we. They wouldn't get the service anyway. I'm not throwing in the towel yet, but Burnley, Boro looking good again the championship. Don't want to do a Portsmouth.

I'm not being blasé, but Portsmouth were owned by a french-israeli businessman who rocked up in the Solent out of nowhere one day in a canoe, with a rucksack full of cash from his dad. He could've minced into Gunwharf Keys and bought, I dunno, Matalan. Instead he saw some decrepit old floodlights rising up over the slums, and a few shabby stands, and for some reason decided to have a punt at owning a mickey mouse football club that is infested with a bunch of cerebrally challenged, monobrow fans FESTOONED with horrific unemployable tattoos. He then employed the one manager who is all but GUARANTEED to bankrupt any club that fails to stay on the PL gravytrain. Hence their near extinction, and rather lovely descent into the noddy leagues.

I can absolutely promise you. Tony Bloom will NOT "do a Portsmouth".

Stephens for Hemed. But otherwise OK.

I’d take him but would we have the budget for him and then the other positions we do still need to improve, like another CM or CB cover for Dunk and Duffy if Goldson goes out on loan.

If we had two pacy strikers, making intelligent runs and pulling defences around, it would be much easier for our midfield and wingers to provide the service that we need.

Time flies. Yes, Scottish football has fallen back, but I still think that Dembele is a diamond in the rough, so to speak. Hopefully we make a bid, he has great potential that needs more of a challenge to develop.

He won't start Baldock

No Solly March? Typical negative move

3 at the back? We’ve got to be more attacking than this if we want to score goals in the Premier League. Swap Knockaert for Duffy and you’ve got yourself a team.

In fact why bother with a keeper, he’s too short for a start and with a bit of midfield guile they’ll never get near our goal, drop Ryan for Kayal. Has anyone ever asked the FA if we can play rush keeper?

I think we should tell Dembele to shove it and move on, his loss.

His big plus compared to other linked strikers is that he counts as under 21.

Think he might just end up buying a new caravan and joining our friends up the road.

Left back form Bristol City we have been linked with.

On the other hand, if he thinks he should be getting Champions' League football, and then has to come to a little club like Brighton that is beneath him, he might sulk and f**k up the team spirit. Three weeks ago, I'd have been keen on him coming; not now.
