[Albion] Would have been a near perfect window if we’d brought in a striker

vagabond · Jan 31, 2020

- Mooy, signs permanently
- Alexis finally gets his work permit and joins us
- Wonderkid Lamptey, one of the most exciting young attacking wing backs going
- Didn’t lose anyone (ie kept Dunk)

But still.. no striker.

This has been a problem for us for a while, so disappointed we weren’t prepared to get a CF in, especially with relegation in the balance.

I think it's been an excellent window. What was the main transfer rumour concerning Brighton at the start of the window?

Anyone?

Lewis Dunk to Chelsea. And he's still our player at the end. I'm astounded you haven't put that in your list.

I make that 11 transfer windows in a row we haven't sold anyone we didn't want to. That's pretty amazing going really

Out of interest who was the last? Was it Ulloa to Leiceester?

Good shout, and fair. That should be in the list too. Added.

The fact that we didn’t buy a proven striker says it all. The one position that really needs strengthening and we failed. Doomed!

What this means is that the club could have panicked and bought the wrong striker - and they chose not to. I give them credit for that, not criticism.

Mooy is a good signing but was already at the club until the end of the season
Wonderkid Lamptey ? Based on what ? Do tell me as he has played only one Premier league match. Basically another untried kid with potential. Heard that before ?
Alexis is already our player and another who hasn't kicked a ball at Premier level. Until we see him it's a gamble.

Give me a striker than this lot anyday. As i said Mooy is already here. Dress it up how you like but we have done poorly when we needed quality at this moment in time. We opted for gambles.
Thank god for Brexit because it would have been a bloody miserable end to Jan.

Eh? That's not like you Spence. Where's your very well known positivity gone?

wellquickwoody · Feb 1, 2020

Either Mr Ashworth or Mr Bloom, or both, may regret not filling the one position where we have lacked true quality for nearly five years. Ridiculous IMO, but it ain’t my money.

Or they could’ve taken a calculated gamble on a gem they’ve been tracking the past year...

Andone.

True not sold but loaned out because he demanded it not because the club wanted it.

marlowe · Feb 1, 2020

Our signings this window have been quite diverse.

Our first signing was already playing for us but belonged to another club.

Our second signing already belonged to us but was playing for another club.

Our third signing belonged to another club but wasn't actually playing for either them or us.

Albion Dan · Feb 1, 2020

We've signed ONE player who is actually new to the club. He is 19 and hasn't played ONE whole full premier league football match. We have been shocking coming into the window and desperately short of confidence with one striker who has scored more than one goal. If he gets injured we have 36 year old Murray playing out his last season probably and a total one goal novice who isn't ready for this level of football yet. I'm astounded people think this is even close to a good window.

I didn't want Andone to stay. I suppose some might have.

We were shocking coming into the window? That performance against Bournemouth was one of the best I have seen Brighton produce. Ever.

We were given a reasonable window, but the problem is most were expecting Patio doors
we’re be right as my Northern relations (by marriage) would say

spelt right wrong, can’t do their accent

They've taken too many calculated gambles before that didn't pan out. You don't want to take a gamble that will disrupt the team. We will be fine, and we will get the right player when they become available.
