LWB - tick Left sided CB - tick LB - no tick

Yes, as LWBs, not as LBs. There's a big difference! - and if we want to go 4 at the back anything like regularly, we will need a specialist LB (and I'm not sure we've got one in the U23s in that position ready to step up).

I'm not sure either - the need (if need there is) would be for an out and out LB should we want to go 4 at the back. Solly and BDB are fine as LWBs, but neither of them is really suited for LB. I've got a feeling that might apply to Karbownik as well.

Yes, absolutely - we can get to go through this all over again next summer!

It probably all boils down to, how greedy is his agent?

If that was the case, I would really hope the club's answer was 'Dream on!'

"We've already assembled the squad" - and now we want to appoint a Head Coach, not a manager. Quite feasible (wouldn't be my choice, but it kind of worked OK for Watford - and on the continent I believe the role of Head Coach rather than manager isn't unusual).

£110K a week might be tempting........................

Really? I'd certainly have backed Ward in that situation, probably a young Bobby Z too.

What is this 'putting a corner into their box' please? :wink:

First to admit that I was one of those not in favour of bringing him in - felt it was restricting the opportunities for Connolly to play and develop (just my opinion, that's all) - but now he's here, welcome to Brighton Mr. Welbeck. I hope you have a great season with us.

..... but hopefully won't.

I think maybe it's the fans (or a least NSC) that are desperate for another attacker rather than the club!

Agree he's the best of the three that I wouldn't want anyway.

Who said I want Deeney, and what's he got to do with it? I don't want either of them.

Yep, an extra body - and that's about it. And an expensive one.

Potentiall underwhelmed. Seems to be a backward step with regard to the direction the club has been going in. Will probably want near to £5M a year in wages anyway.

If fit, would not be on the bench. If fit, he'd be straight in the first team.

He's used to - and probably expects - huge wages. Of course, he's on zero pounds per week at the moment (which shouldn't bother him for a while!) but he is unlikely to get the same ever again, so if he wants to continue his career as a footballer he's going to have to take some sort of wage cut...

But all coming towards the end of their careers, and all successful signings for us, like it or not. And we could roll the dice with Wellbeck and unearth our next Glenn Murray, which wouldn't be a bad outcome either!
