Talkshite about to cover Brighton's dealings

[Bozza]

One or two may go out on loan as Chris has to narrow his squad to 25 players.

Good players here who helped us get promoted, and it's important we help them get games. A lot of interest in two of our players in particular.

 

[Chicken Run]

AK not leaving

 

[Bozza]

There are good agents and not so good agents. They're part of the game. We work with them as best we can. Sometimes deals get done because of agents, sometimes deals don't happen because of agents.

We're not in the business of paying extortionate fees to agents.

 

[dwayne]

Oh, Christ. Now starting to feel thoroughly deflated.

Absolutely pathetic if we don't bring a striker in. Pathetic.

I was pretty hopeful up until this morning.

"in an ideal world we'd bring in a striker"...

Understatement of the century.

He's either learnt poker psychology from TB, or he's dampening down expectations.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I feel like we are having our "expectations managed" re the striker. Like don't expect much, and you won't be disappointed. I hope he's bluffing and spreading confusion.

 

[Chicken Run]

Hoping for 2-3 players

 

[Bozza]

What's craziest demand made by agent?

Won't go into that.

We try to make sure the money we are paying goes to the club and the player, but if an agent has helped with a deal he'll get a fee.

I would edge this way. Pretty sure they realise the striker issue is key.

 

[Bozza]

Hope to get 2 in, maybe 3 today.

 

[DTES]

There is absolutely no way PB would say in an interview "Yes, we really desperately need a new striker (or two), and we'll pay whatever it takes". What would be the point? Really not taking his words seriously or feeling disheartened.

 

[Weststander]

Absolutely pathetic if we don't bring a striker in. Pathetic.

I was pretty hopeful up until this morning.

To summarise:

2 defenders in today.
1 goalie.
There might be a striker.

Cue a betting surge on BHAFC staying up

 

[WhingForPresident]

Hope to get 2 in, maybe 3 today.

Is that including the 2 we already seem to have?!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Hope to get 2 in, maybe 3 today.

Heard that bit, but missed the vast majority is that on top of the two defenders or did he not allude to them......

Time to step away from the keyboard I think.

It's all poker. I don't believe any of this bollocks anymore and can't believe we won't get 2 in and let Hemed leave. I'm still wistfully holding out for that Depor striker seeing as they're potless and would have an extra 24 hours to sort a replacement.

 

[Weststander]

Yes.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Hope to get 2 in, maybe 3 today.

I'm confused as been WORKING all morning.

Have THE GREYHOUND and DENZIL been confirmed?

Is that 'hope to get 2 / 3 MORE in', or do we have to factor one / both of those into his numbers?

 

[Scotchegg]

"in an ideal world we'd bring in a striker"...

He didn't sound very positive on the striker front did he? All very possibly maybe.

Not great news. Drips are starting to drop.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Barber is a class act.

 

[Weststander]

But PB may well be taking us all for a ride.

The hints were that a couple of players were leaving, who are in demand. That would include Hemed, shirley.

I can't imagine that we'd let our one striker TH leave, for one in.
