I know everyone is desperate to avoid another shutdown but from what I can tell the only difference this time is the "bubble" system and fact prem players are being tested twice weekly still
On the other hand there is no EFL compulsory testing anymore which is why prem teams are paying for EFL...
as it appears to be pun day .... could be Ella'va debut in tonights game ...... OK I will leave quietly and sit in a dark corner in some dark dingy room somewhere else :P
I always thought having the crowd sing to Queens we will rock you adapted of course would be amazing but I am easily pleased
We Will We Will BRIGHTON Rock You

Ulrick Eneme Ella confirmed on one webby site but not on official Albion site yet - https://www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/sport/football/brighton-and-hove-albion/exciting-player-young-france-international-striker-signs-brighton-2979863
so thats a striker , just a young un for ya
would be a good move for Stephens , great player on his day but I have to sadly say the number of 'his days' has been decreasing each season with prolonged dips in form.
think we have good cover in central midfield so would not be surprised if no new player in for that role , even Gross played...
reports are Origi is only on £45,000 a week which while a lot for the likes of you and me its cheapish when you consider Maupay is said to be on £50,000 a week. How far we would be prepared to push this upwards is obviously debatable and obviously who we are in competition with.
I suspect the money is there BUT it has to be for the right player at the right price at the right time who passes the no dickhead test & actually wants to play for the Albion with no European football & probably facing a fight in the bottom 10
that is a lot to all align at the same time & only...
personally I think the current 3 of Walton Steele & Sanchez are all good enough for second choice, the question should be are any of them good enough for first choice & a challenge to Ryan , that I am not so sure in the medium/short term
think he was linked to WBA but its second weekend he has been omitted so likely he is going to move just who and when rather than if
not sure he would offer us anything different enough for GP to be interested unless the price is very good in our favour
Derby want a loan deal apparently so possible new contract & season loan .... depends if Roberts is willing to sign for us
in other news it could be one out one in in terms of CB links - https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/brighton-transfer-rumours/brighton-interested-in-tosin-adarabioyo/
hardly the same , at least Ben White had played first team football , just not for Albion , Balogun has not and so far his highest level is PL2 from what I have read so slightly different situation
gonna stick my neck out ... prepare to have it chopped (not read all posts in this thread) .... its as if SA had been watching how Stephens plays a little too much and using him as a role model
OK I get me basket to catch me head ???
if memory is not playing tricks on me CH tried him in a deeper role along side either DS or DP .... did not go particularly great though not a disaster either
