Think we should make a donation to the current government on 1st January to sort out the Tau and McAllister situation

Glenn Murray : 1.83m tall.
Jan Mlakar : 1.83m tall.
Get Mlakar back to learn from the master while he still can.

Only if we recall White from 'Dirty Leeds' which I really cannot see happening. The experience he will get in being near the top of the Championship will be invaluable next season.

If Big Dunc is still in post, then Duffy might go back to Everton for some serious cash. Maybe get DC-Lewin coming the other way.

I can’t see us signing a striker. All the decent ones won’t be going anywhere and those possibly on offer will be bid up because the competition will be so big.
Of course, we could sign Obika, Billy Barndoor, Spanish Rodney or Leon Best.....

I've heard we're after 2 players, one being a first team player and one a development player.
It wouldn't surprise me if we bid for Mason Bennett from Derby, could get him for a bargain price and with some good coaching and man management from GPott could turn his career around.

Having watched Brugge v Madrid midweek Tau was making intelligent runs unfortunately he hardly received a decent pass all that night his team mates are a bit pony. Personally think with better players around him he will be an excellent addition.

Get the lad Jarrod Bowen in... hes the one
Stuff this alternative striker stuff... we need another nippy little goal scorer so we can manage Connelly and Maupay better.
Sell Andone, Locadia etc etc

Not convinced anyone would buy Andone in January given that he is out injured until March.
Not long now until the window swings open.

You can't slam something shut that has been swung open.

I agree with you Marshy. Playing with movement and pace in behind is working and it's exhilarating. I don't want another Murray (no slight on Muzza) and don't really see how that would add to our team.

We already have another nippy little goal scorer. He's currently playing in Belgium though.........................

Yes and it’s time to make a decision on whether we’re going to try and get him in the country or sell on. Same with Alexis. I think loaning whilst speculating on a work permit is fine, but we can’t have players farmed out forever.

Potentially we could do with a forward, though probably only temporarily as we have Tau, Gyokeres and a wealth of youth in this position.
CM we have all sorts of options, remembering that Bissouma and Baluta are also here and not getting a look in and Mac Allister to arrive in the summer as an AM.
On the wings we look a little weak but then we haven’t really been playing wingers. Low priority.
CB we have hundreds of options. GK backup beyond Ryan is weak, maybe Walton in in the summer or maybe someone new.
The real issue areas are the fullbacks surely?

I don't think the decision is our's to make - we are governed by the regulations, and so far the regulations have prevented us bringing ether of these players to Brighton. When and if that will change I don't know; I expect we'll have plenty of lawyers working on it.

Right back, certainly - although Bernardo can play there. I thought he was one of our best performers in the second half of last season and I hope Potter gives him some game time soon.

It is our decision. We either apply for the works permits or we sell them. All this time their contracts are running down and I'm sure we're paying the majority of their wages.
There's been plenty of talk on the relevant threads about how close they are to getting the permits. The way I see it applying is risky, because if we fail, then our bargaining position is weakened for the inevitable sale.
In both their cases, another half a season at their loan clubs isn't likely to significantly improve their chances of being granted a permit (unless MacAllister can get a game is a competitive international, but they don't have a game until June), nor is it likely to tell us more about whether they will make it in the Premier League.
Like I say, I think Jan is time for us to decide on these two
