[Albion] Couple of signings?

[fosters headband]

It's definitely the latter. Barber has already said the club have 2 or 3 players they want to bring in before deadline day. He's hardly likely to say that if it wasn't true !

Oh yes, but then there is always the excuse that it has been a difficult window or we just can't compete with clubs financially, but he thanks the recruitment team who worked tirelessly to bring in their targets since the window opened. Similar to January's quest for a striker

Poker player Bloom is gambling on either:

a) Potter turning last season’s misfiring players and some untested youngsters into a mid-table PL outfit, whilst leaving circa £50m of broadcasting monies untouched in the club bank account earning 1% in interest; or

b) He has our incoming RB, ACM and striker firmly in his sights, and will blink and laugh last in negotiations with the selling clubs.

Praying it’s the latter.

What an odd attitude!

I would much prefer the former.

Im pretty sure you will add another one or two players, and Im also pretty sure 3-4 are leaving as Potter prefer to work with a rather thin squad. People like Balogun, Suttner and Hemed could definitely be considered unnecessary.

There wont be any panic signings though. Im 100% sure he prefers to work with gaps in the squad rather than bringing in players or "names" that he havent met or seen.

 

[Nottseagull]

Isn't that because a thin squad was imposed on him at your place and Östersunds?

Suttner is just a medical short of signing for Fortuna Dusseldorf - which should happen this week.

Hemed will be off soon, and that then leaves possible departures of Ahannach and Balogun - who is back with the squad from AFCON any day now.

None of this would be a surprise at all.........

Where's Hemed going?

No idea.

I’d assume that he’d be a sweetener for Brentford or Swansea. Still possible.

And also, if he is going to Spain, the deadline is the start of September.

Good because this squad has more gaps than Watford.

Key words there are 'want to' I would guess.

Want doesn't always get.

This might well be case but Barber hasn’t come out publicly and revealed our hand. Where has he said this or been that specific ?

Gotta say I haven't seen that from the jumper modelling financial master...

Regardless.

He actually hasn’t said it afaik.

He said this on some random interview re Brighton being a PL team etc on some business chat thing few weeks ago...dont have link sorry but was about 35 min long interview.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Should be some action in the next 48 hours..

[Hugo Rune]

Our Mr. Barber is far too wily an operator to do that.
