With Bale's possible return to these shores, let's go for both and take to club to another level. Insolvency.
I must admit I wasn't really paying too much attention.
I've got into the habit of scrolling through 'latest transfer rumours' naturally discarding any involving top 6 teams.
But when a player is linked to another bottom feeder club and isn't a 'keeper, centre back or holding midfielder, I'll occasionally flag him up on NSC, but without the bells and whistles of their own thread.
I have given some further thought to what we need to sign in the summer, and the glaringly obvious space in our squad is for a super keen South Korean or Japanese.
It doesn't matter at all what position he plays (preferably not CB or defensive midfield - that wouldn't be too cool) so long as he is hugely enthusiastic, has the standard Jap haircut, and smiles all the time. Shinzi Okazaki would be ideal, but anyone else who fits this template will be acceptable.

Apologies if fixtures but this is worth a read....
Best out of contract players in the summer

Maybe, but l think our Chris is far too conservative as a manager to trial that. Safety first at all times.

There has been some thin reporting of this elsewhere , only at the level of “interest” , but the vavel_brighton account has 20 odd followers and is just regurgitating rumours with a sprinkle on top.
West Ham will prioritise signing defenders this summer, with Swansea's Alfie Mawson, 24, and Brighton's Lewis Dunk, 26, their top targets. (Star)

West Ham.
League position would suggest that would be a non starter, but I assume West Ham can pay much higher wages than we can / are willing to pay at the moment.
That's assuming we stay up - if we go down, then all options are available.
However, if, IF Lewis Dunk is destined to leave, I'd rather there was a feeding frenzy to inflate the sale price; not that I WANT him to leave.
If both Brighton and West Ham stay up, for all WHU's glorious history many decades ago, this would seem almost a sideways move for Lewis.
Hopefully Brighton will pay him enough to see off such unexciting moves.
