BHA January transfer watch

I can't see Paul Winstanley's tweets - he must have blocked me

Private account isn't it so tweets protected...?

Sake. Would have been good.

We need to catch up, asap

 

[Keith Patel]

I propose a thread for 'bullshit' rumours that we can all look and laugh at as opposed to a single thread that has them all. Then maybe that's spoiling the fun.

That was last night, [MENTION=139]Jam The Man[/MENTION] said "tonight".

Yep was definitely last night (Tuesday). I 'liked' the tweet, but couldn't RT it as has been mentioned, his tweets are protected.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

My main annoyance is the constant quoting of Twitter entries from the multiple of accounts that have no credibility, despite the authority in their titles.

Or when your using TapaTalk and have to switch to web view to see the tweets....

 

[Postman Pat]

Agreed.

Right up there with "Wikipedia has already been updated."

Yep, because Wikipedia is the first place the club are heading to break the news, heaven forbid the players Wikipedia page is 3 mins out of date!!

I am sure the club are trying but it would be good to make some early signings in the transfer window. We don't want to be too slow out of the blocks.....again.

We have already made 2 in fairness

Good point but I am looking for signings that will make our competitors sit up and take notice and let everyone know that we are serious about promotion this season.

I'm afraid our stumbling block will always be the wages for players.
Unfortunately, as we all should know once you get to the promised land there will be very few players who, if good
enough to play in the PL will play for much less than £45-70K a week, and the ones at the lower end of that pay scale
will be the ones I imagine that Albion will be employing.
I would estimate IMHO that you need to spend realistically £20million plus at the moment, to stand any chance of staying in the PL in your first season,
that is of course if you have a damn good manager that can make a team perform on a very very tight budget, who will also cost a club
a few million for his services.
I can see us getting there one day, but struggling to get 3/4 wins in that season unless Mr Bloom is prepared to shell out millions and millions for players.
This isn't a criticism just an honest observation from planet reality.

I know what you mean but we got one of them in Wilson and our form hasn't exactly been great since.

I think we just need real quality improvements in certain areas - I'm not so bothered about whether they make our rivals take notice. Nobody thought the likes of Gaeten Bong would become a key player for us - signings of that nature are fine by me.

Quiet but steady, move below the radar.

 

[Springal]

Is anyone aware of any Brighton directors or officials with a Range Rover with the plates 'ALBION' (can't remember the letter/numbers order) ?

Doesn't the West Brom chairman own that?

The club owned that number plate since the 90s. I think Greg Stanley used to have it.

That looks right. Seen on the M25 at 7am this morning with 2 chaps suited in the front. I came off at the M3 and they were still heading around clockwise..

Flogged off for a quick buck like the Goldstone then?

Well, that rules out any players signing from Gillingham, Southend, Ipswich and Norwich (or South and East London)......unless they were lost.
