Transfer Deadline Day

[Super Steve Earle]

Makes sense - we've got loads of midfielders and it would make sense to sell / loan one or two (which ones, I'll leave to others to decide!), and we've only got 3 CBs - I think we need a fourth for cover for injuries / suspensions.

We have fourth CB for cover - Maksimenko is a CB.

 

[Eeyore]

How about Barber OUT!

He's regarded as a top CEO. So it could be quite a lucrative deal. It would certainly help towards FFP.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

At the start of the pre match interview last week Sami seemed to indicate that business might not all be done.

 

[BensGrandad]

When does the actual loan window open and close it is usually a couple of weeks after the transfer window closes then it opens..

 

[sparkie]

Offer CMS a new deal. If he doesn't want to sign it, sell him and hijack Jelle Vossen's move to Middlesbrough

I'd like us to get Vossen, but have no reason to think it will happen.

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

I'd like us to get Vossen, but have no reason to think it will happen.

Agreed. Seems his move to Boro is a done deal now unfortunately.

 

[BensGrandad]

What about Guidetti told by Man City surplus to requirements

 

[forumwayseagull]

Would be nice if we hijacked Glenn Murray transfer to Reading..

We can hope but cant see it happeng

What about Guidetti told by Man City surplus to requirements

Would be excellent to get him.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I would be very surprised if we signed anyone tomorrow unless one or two key players leave. We don't have any need for players in squad terms except for possibly a centre back but even there we have options of Calde, Ince and Maksimenko for fourth choice.

However, I could easily be proved wrong as I've been very impressed with our progress in terms of signings this window and buying players that fit in to Hyypia's style. Whatever happens tomorrow, it will be good to see the transfer window close and Hyypia get two weeks to work with the squad he has (barring international players) before another busy few weeks with 7 games in 22 days again!

We have fourth CB for cover - Maksimenko is a CB.

Exactly........we need cover.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Exactly........we need cover.

agree,somebody on here nearly convinced me otherwise,but i still feel perhaps this is the weak link in the side,that said the loan market is available,so perhaps we could save the funds for now,i just think there might be a shock exit and surprise coming in.

 

[LamieRobertson]

We have fourth CB for cover - Maksimenko is a CB.

Maybe more of a utility player who can play anywhere along the back line...excluding goalie

Incoming transfer news for Brighton! #BHAFC
11:06 PM - 31 Aug 2014

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Assuming the Greer's (playing for Scotland?) luck with staying fit ended and coincided with a injury to Hughes and Suspension to Dunk,we would be in a tricky position.

 

[KNC]

@soccer_sauce: Hearing that Brighton have made an enquiry for Aberdeen forward Niall McGinn #BHAFC
Double shrug

 

[1066familyman]

Hoping for CMS out (love the guy but he just ain't good enough) and a 'statement of intent' striker in.

I think I will be disappointed.

Exactly this, but hoping not to be disappointed.

I'd also like it if CMS went back to Peterborough. He'd bang goals in there in that division again and he of all players deserves to be loved, which he will be back at his spiritual home.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I don't really expect any activity but I'll be checking NSC all day in anticipation of something happening. Here are some complete stabs in the dark.

Possible loans in:
None

Possible loans out:
Maxi
Walton
Harris
Rea
Muit
Cole
Hunt
Toko
Agustien

Possible Transfers out:
March - Southampton (Big money)
CMS - Leeds/Norwich (Or he needs to sign another long term contract with us)
Lua Lua - Southampton?

Possible Tranfers in:
3rd choice RB
4th choice CB if Maxi leaves
Striker if CMS disappears
Winger/AM if March vanishes

 

[southstandandy]

Can't see anyone coming in to be honest - possibly Toko, Maxi, Agustien, and O'Grady out on loan, but that's as much as I would expect.
