which will thankfully for the club not give them enough time to replace him and the chance to squirrel some more money away

I seem to remember Poyet saying he wanted to have two players for every position. Now we haven't even got one for some! Like others on this thread, I have absolutely no confidence that any profit made from the sale of Buckley would be spent on players.

I imagine we can hold out until the last minute to get the best fee, it's unlikely we'll be re investing the funds so no hurry for TB.

Just picked this up, I thought Borini had signed for Sunderland, but apparently he hasn't yet because of a shoulder injury.
It starts "Sunderland have made a bid of £2.5million for Brighton forward Will Buckley, casting doubt on a move for Liverpool striker................"

Ok - time for a rant.
Having renewed my season ticket at an inflated level this year (even though I won't be able to attend a lot of the games) I am totally fed up. Food and drink at the ground have gone up. We have had to listen to Barber bang on about FFP whilst every other club in the division seems to be ignoring it. We have sold our star centre forward without seemingly have a clue who to buy to replace him. We are unable to sign arguably our best player from last season on a permanent deal even though his parent club are seemingly happy to sell him. We are seemingly unable to negotiate to buy any player without being outbid by the competition. We are constantly told Burke is "working hard behind the scenes" but there is no end result. Whilst I accept was Bozza says above, its all a bit late for those of us who have already recommitted for another season - our money has gone.
Given there is now only two and bit weeks left before the window shuts, I can't see us buying exactly what we are looking for as replacements even if we wanted to. The good players in demand are already established in terms of where they want to be (Ulloa for example) and we are now reduced to scratching round for bargain basement replacements. Even if you aren't a fan of Buckley, it has to be recognised he will need replacing. This smacks a bit of Man U last season when Moyes and Woodward were running round like headless chickens at the end and only finished overpaying for Fellaini.
If the club were honest in terms of wanting keep some cash and run under a reduced budget, I could understand, but all we get is flannel and I don't like being taken for a mug. Barber didn't hang around much when he put all the prices up this season - that one was well planned ahead.
I will keep supporting the Albion, of course I will, but just maybe they will be a couple more season ticket holders down next season. I know I'll get flack from the remember where we were and keep the faith brigade but we have moved on from those days and really should be aiming higher. If TB gets promotion, the club will be worth a lot more than it is now.

If he were to go they had better have a few pretty special players coming in. This is becoming farcical and I have no confidence they actually know what they are doing, assuming of course they want to put together a winning team/squad.

Buckley not starting, Barber OUT!
Yep, because that's what we've been doing in recent years, squirreling money away - not running at a huge loss, oh no.
You don't think it's at all possible he'll fail a medical?
