Help Chris Hughton : Who would you sell and sign?

[fat old seagull]

We really need to have permanent scouts in Europe - particularly in Spain, France, Italy and Germany - it is not beyond the realm of possibility to uncover another gem like Ulloa. The English transfer market is far too intense and overpriced.

I am, and being some sort of martyr prepared to take this job on for only a modest salary.

 

[sir albion]

Good shout.

Seriously injury prone

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Because we can get a good fee for Dunk, fund a more experienced replacement, and have cash to spare to strengthen other areas.

That's what we thought would happen with the Ulloa, Buckley and Bridcutt money.

 

[BBassic]

There's no way I'd sell Dunk. We'd be left with an old and slow defence. Much like we have now, but worse.

 

[Shipley8312]

Zamora and Joe Garner.

joe garner top shout but zamora no although he has a place in many brighton hearts he is a ageing striker and can her really offer more than ogrady does

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Why the fixation with signing Elliott Bennett? Has suffered a serious knee injury and while on loan here looked a pale imitation of the player who starred previously for the Albion. No coincidence Norwich were happy to farm him out. You can also add Zamora to the list.

Really, Albion need to look forward and hunt down the up and coming players who will fight for promotion - not become a cash cow for injury-plagued former stars.

We need big changes to stand a chance of being top 6 next season. The only part of the field I'm happy with is central midfield with Kayal/Ince/Stephens.

I'd sign;

A goalkeeper

2 x central defenders
Right back
Left back

Att midfielder
Right winger
Left winger

3 strikers

Completely laughable anyone suggesting we will get £5million for Dunk.

 

[Surf's Up]

Players I suggest the club may look at:

Rubén Reid - Plymouth
Liam Henderson - rochdale
Joe Garner - Preston ( if they don't get promoted)
Tom Clark - Preston (. " )
Jed Wallace - Portsmouth
Ben Coker - Southend
Matt Grimes - Swansea
Michiel Kramer - ADO Den Haag

 

[Shipley8312]

Matt done (sheff utd) striker
Demarai gray (winger) birmingham
Joe garner (striker) preston

 

[BensGrandad]

Henri Lansbury is Prem bound
I would go after;

Lewis McGuggan or Guediora (watford no 5) as attacking midfielder
Jed Wallace Portsmouth right midfield
Essou Akoto left back
Jamie O Hara left midfield
Moses Obadajo Brentford right back
Bassong Norwich CB
Shola Ameobi or BZ striker

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I don't get all these people who don't think Zamora wouldn't do well in The Championship. He's not a 20 goal a season striker but he'd be an excellent signing in the Jason Roberts/ Kevin Philips mould. Not only would he score some goals but his all round play and experience would benefit the team particularly other younger strikers. If we we can, we should.

 

[Surf's Up]

I would also have a good look at some of Brentford's players if they don't get promoted

 

[Surf's Up]

Henri Lansbury is Prem bound
I would go after;

Lewis McGuggan or Guediora (watford no 5) as attacking midfielder
Jed Wallace Portsmouth right midfield
Essou Akoto left back
Jamie O Hara left midfield
Moses Obadajo Brentford right back
Bassong Norwich CB
Shola Ameobi or BZ striker

Guediora is actually a Palarse player I believe

 

[SteveTheSeagull]

Personally I'd get in a whole new team bar. Kayal, Ince and March. But that's my choice if I was manager.

Oh dear! - we'd have to sell Dunk for more like £15M to do all that! Ain't gonna happen ..........

 

[BensGrandad]

Guediora is actually a Palarse player I believe

Correct on loan to Watford and I would think they will either sign him if considered good enough or return to Palace where I dont think he would make their 25 man squad.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I'd like to sign:
Glen Murray
Ashley Barnes
Craig Noone
Tommy Elphick
Steve Cook
Sam Vokes

 

[Simster]

Nobody. Well not until 1st September anyway. A squad of 8 deep and some promising youth players is perfectly adequate for kick off, especially if established Championship players are going to ask for nearly twice the national minimum wage.

Then I think he should sign Doncaster's highest scorer and six loan signings on 3-month deals, ideally from fellow Championship pay-roles where they're not deemed good enough for their own squads and don't give a toss about the Albion.

Then after that, someone should drop Trevor Burke's wanky moneyball spreadsheet in the recycle bin.

 

[Iamapen15]

He's going to be busy I feel.

Now Ball'muff are promoted, Kermorgant.
Charlton forward Vetokele.
Possibly Pompey midfielder Jed Wallce or Max Power from Tranmere.
Waddington from Blackpool looks a certainty
+ LB - but not one on loan!
+ CB
+ Creative Midfielder (Tex?)
+ RW (hopefully not Elliott Bennett, but somebody like Moses Obadajo or Lewis McGuggan would be great)
+ RB if Calderon doesn't sign his contract

I wouldn't bring back any of the loan players, with the exception of Tex (but only if the price was right). Perhaps bring in a premiership youngster upfront on loan.

I'd also look to off load Holla, Fenelon and O'Grady.

Adam Le Fondre... Not wanted by Cardiff, currently on loan to Bolton. His goalscoring record is pretty good apart from at Cardiff. Still only 28. Scored 8 in 15 appearance for Bolton.
