Almost two years ago now we got AK and Skalak - so decent signings in winter window are entirely possible

Leonardo Ulloa also arrived in January, but I wouldn't have thought that Krul's loan would have been turned into a transfer unless there was a considerable chance that it may be needed. Club has recent history of bringing in forwards on loan in that window also (Akpom, Wilson, Ledesma, Obika, Lita...) could easily see someone like Danny Ings coming in if a perm deal can't be made.

Timo Werner RB Leipzig, 21, forward

This man would be the answer upfront: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timo_Werner

Impossible?

Personally I'll be a little disappointed if we haven't yet sent a scout to watch Cenk Tosun. Could be just the type of striker we need,

Fiorentina Babacar £16.6m offer accepted (says SunSport)

NO!!!

After a brief YouTube/Google hunt......

Much better call this one.

1. He’d be under £30m.
2. This lad is only going to increase in value.
3. Still young so potential to get better.
4. At 19, he seems to already posses the best qualities of Murray, Baldock & Hemed. Fantastic movement & pace from a big powerful lad who can hold the ball up and knows where the back of the net is. Very skilful and a great touch with superb close control
5. CLEALY better (and a lot faster) than Janssen.
6. Not sure how good he is in the air? A weakness?

Sign him up!

Over to uncle Tone.

Looks very much like the sort of striker who would suit our style. Someone needs to send him a picture of the Itower 360.

I still think we shouldn't ignore the lower leagues for top talent upfront. This man looks very tasty indeed and ticks all the boxes for what we need. I like Murray but this guy definitely looks better:

80 goals in 74 appearances anyone?

He is Syrian though, so work permit might be an issue.

Quick, good in the air, holds ball up well, scores with both feet - VERY promising. Just wonder why no Premier League/Bundesliga etc team has been able to prise him away?

I’d still go for Babacar.

Not getting regular games, his price may well have come down.

My boy Louis Schaub, he of the Mitrovic rumour, whipped in a lovely cross/assist for a goal more dubious than Babacar.

Should we be mid table come 31st Dec time - then I suspect we will find we are now an "option" for those who may have turned us down in the summer

Above is a general point rather than aimed at any specific past transfer target

With everyone else seemingly settled and firing the recruitment team has only ONE job to do.
While Barber-out just has to record himself saying 'NO' as his answerphone message.

Looks like a Turkish Glenn Murray (in terms of facial looks, I have not watched the video)

I don’t think a striker for a top 2 bundesliga side is going to come to Brighton, unfortunately.

One Job, maybe, but also a little side task as well to bring in a loan central defender so Goldson can go out on loan to get some games.

If this were to happen expectations would go through the roof...

HE STARTED IN THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL LAST SEASON!

He'll go to Madrid or United/City.

You're living in a dream world if you think we could afford Dolberg, Werner or Tosun!!
