You can blame it on the boogie if you like. I won't be blaming anyone. It is the toughest league in the world and the most ridiculous transfer circus. We still have a chance, even without Ronaldo.
If 'work on the January transfer window' began in September and all we've signed with less than two weeks to go and another 4 points dropped is a kid from Ireland for the youth team, someone clearly isn't doing their job.
I think we will get a striker eventually, but we've had more than 3 months to get this sorted, why are we seemingly still chasing our tails?

You did say at the beginning of the season that I could punch you if you got pessimistic this season. Prepare to be pummeled on Saturday.

You lot are becoming so entitled it hurts. If you really think that the club is not trying it's very best to bring in a striker (who you are not going to slaughter because they are not good enough God forbid) why don't you go and support one of the other Prem teams who have so successfully signed Prem class strikers?
You don't do that is you supported a club for 43 years do you ?
**** off.

It appears some do.
Is it? The bottom half, which is where we need to succeed to stay up, doesn’t look that tough to me.
Like most clubs there are voyeurs especially when you get to the premiership
Agreed. Bar the top 6 this league is not all that. We should certainly be looking to stay in it for more than 1 season
True.
I had thought the likes of Stoke, WBA, Bmuff, Palace, Watford, Burnley, would destroy our quasi-Championship team, simply because they've spent £100m's over many PL transfer windows building top flight quality squads.
Instead, the quality of their play and players isn't that different.
Which makes it all the more frustrating that we're just 3 or 4 players from being comfortably mid table.

We’ll sign players, hopefully soon. Brown and Sidwell are both finished this season, Murphy loaned out, we’re three squad players down from the start of the season and they’ll have to be replaced.
It’s frustrating waiting, we’re wasting time but I’m certain we’ll get a few in before Feb.

I said this a few days ago, I was assured by a certain poster that relegation was an irrelevant factor

Is that the same poster who advises that transfer business doesn't really take off until the end of Augusts and Januarys?

TBH I've stopped bothering to anticipate the "Albion finally sign a quality striker" story. He ain't coming - it'll be the usual last minute mess with reporters standing outside training ground gates - Brighton barely mentioned - then the next morning hard luck story of an offer made a few minutes before the deadline to someone who's got zero intention of coming anywhere near Brighton.
Shame - with such a whopping great recruitment department - and such a talented, well-connected and verbose CEO - we can't sign anyone, can't score goals and will spend the rest of the season watching our fledgling, hard-earned and long-awaited Premier League status ebbing away. And we won't be bothering with trying to create some fun with the FA Cup either because "this might jeopardise our Premier League survival" !!!
Chris Hughton has already worked miracles with what's at his disposal - he might very well feel quite let down.
