[Albion] Abdallah Sima

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I am, but haven’t decided on a logo.

I’m 30 mins from Lancing and have a day off, too late?

 

[durrington gull]

Maybe not a silver bullet, but it's obviously the biggest deficiency in our squad. And has been for some years.

Nailed it! Apologists on this thread in complete denial

 

[durrington gull]

It's options.

Welbeck injured, Maupay hopelessly low on confidence, there is no option other than diving show pony AC. Loss of form, injuries, suspensions defensive weaknesses of opposition that could be exploited.

You need options, we dont have them in attacking areas to the same degree we do in other areas, and whilst it's a cliche, goals win games.

Yeah yeah we want more goals from MF etc, but it's the attacking options that should be expected to deliver the bulk of what's needed imho..... MF and defender goals are great but should be deemed as good bonuses rather than relied upon because the attacking areas are not strong enough or with enough depth.

Nailed

Just need to convince Pascal now

I see the under 23s almost like incubating chicks. Every so often one is ready for the first team. What time will a striker hatch?

What about Aaron Connolly

Not sure linking Connolly to a comment about chicks is the best idea...

 

[Wellesley]

So, he comes over and sees the Amex and the training ground, the surrounding Sussex countryside and maybe Brighton seafront.
Next thing, sorry lad we’re sending you to Stoke - good luck!
That’s gonna be harsh

Drive him via London Road and Lewes Road and he'll probably pay for his own cab up there.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Naylor has Stoke as his likely loan destination

Oh wow, how convenient Stoke eh....

Suppose it has nothing to do with him supporting Stoke does it....

Stoke it a shithole.

 

[Surf's Up]

Not scored in six games so far this season - looks like a typical Albion forward purchase!!!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I don't think Naylor has much say.

Unless he is the evil genius behind the scenes pulling all the strings of course.

We are interested in bringing in a midfielder on loan to give him game time. Seems unlikely that one.

Why would the Albion’s recruitment and development strategy have anything to do with who one of the local sports journalist supports?

Haha I put the wrong link in

Correct, but drive 5 mins out of town and the area is lovely.

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

Can only assume that another striker is being signed today. We are woefully short up front. Maupay who may or may not score goals required. Connelly who is not proven and Welbeck who may get injured at anytime. I like Potter but his comments about Zequiri are baffling. Says his best position is up front thru the middle but never played him there. Then plays him there against Cardiff. He scores so he sends him out on loan when we are short of strikers. He is expert on playing square pegs in round holes. Gross is the worst right wing back I have seen. moder is not a left wing back. We have one in the squad and then sends him out on loan. Trossard has been played all over the place and performs 1 in 5. The only players who play consistently are those in consistent positions. The central defenders and Bissouma. It won’t be long before Cucurella is being played anywhere else other than his best position. I like the idea of players being adaptable but play them in their best positions to get the best out of them but the Ziquri situation really was confusing as he is miles better than Connelly and would be as good as Maupay and Welbeck in my opinion if given a chance. Let’s hope we have a star striker coming in sometime today.

Good summary, if we are left with 3 strikers and no one incoming that would be simply criminal

 

[Stat Brother]

A lot of comments on here may well be valid, but they really ought to be made AFTER the window has slammed shut.

 

[Zebedee]

Please, please do not loan Sima out. We are desperately short of strikers and should be looking to play him in the first team. He's reputed to be costing us £7M after all.

Well call the police then because that's what's happening.
