Players for next season already identified?

[Juan Albion]

Probably fixtures but I can't be bothered to check every thread.

An interesting paragraph from the Guardian:

"Lists have already been drawn up for potential new recruits at Brighton, players who will fit in with the style and swagger established by Hughton over the last few years. Theirs will be the Bournemouth and Burnley approach, but it has not done either of those clubs any harm. Brighton, a club who have faced up to liquidation and prevailed, can relish a very different kind of challenge ahead."

I'm not surprised the club has been doing their homework - or do they mean the lists we've drawn up on the club's behalf?

Without a doubt the proper planning for next season will start right now or perhaps tomorrow morning!

The club would've have been silly not to. We have a massive head start being able to firm up links ahead of those living in uncertainty:
Hudd, Massive, Fulham, Reading, Leeds, Swansea, Hull.

I would think the scouts have been out watching numerous potential targets. Now its time to whittle them down to prospective new players

Fora while now I have been thinking Defoe might be a possibility, Sunderland are doomed for deffo and I would have thought he would have a relegation clause in his contract, he is 34 but loads of experience, could be good for us apart from what he may command as wages as he is now back in the England side........

I highly doubt he, he'd probably want at least 100k - how would that make the rest of the players at the club feel? I think we'll buy a young player who is highly rated, can play in the Prem but will also be willing to hone his skills in the Championship should the worst happen.

I thought that all season, but everyone else on NSC assumes he's off to either WHU/CP/Bournemouth.

According to Warren Aspinall on the radio Paul Winstanley has been in Europe for the past 2 weeks watching players we are interested in for next season

How on earth did they pick up Hunemeir.What a brilliant bit of business.

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

On BBC Radio Sussex, someone said (cannot remember who now) that Winstanley, the recruitment guy, has been away the last four weekends, scouting abroad!

All sounds good to me...a Leonardo gem, not a Callieri flop though!

 

[Megazone]

I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled off a signing like Jack Wilshere or Januzaj.

If we managed to sign Vicente in our first season in the championship, then there's no saying we won't bring in another superstar come the summer.

 

[Mattywerewolf]

Lets hope whoever did the Burnley list is nowhere near our list...

 

[Beach Hut]

Barber stated a while back we were working on two budgets dependant on which division, better hurry up and recruit before Brexit kicks in !

Agree he has never let himself or us down sure he can cut it in the premier league as he did in the Bunders league

What's the rush? All the PL clubs EU players will go back home, along with all the other EU nationals currently living here who will have to leave. You know that's going to happen, don't you..........

Players for next season already identified?

Of course they have been. Two lists, one of which can now be discarded, leaving our recruitment team free to concentrate on the PL bound one.

Since Duffy has been out we've taken 18 points from a possible 21. Is Hünemeier actually better than Duffy?

Yep, Defoe has been on my mind too. Would be perfect.

Not necessarily. He'll want to start games as that will keep him in contention for Russia 2018. He doesn't need the money. He'd be closer to home and family. There's definitely potential in the deal.
