Nice additions and great to keep Becky longer. She could do with some higher level experience around her after losing the assistant in the off season.

While a sale would be good for PSR we are short on homegrowns if we manage to get into Europe. We are still a good 2 to 3 years away from bringing any or the highly rated youth signings through and here long enough to be eligible. Can also see him not wanting to sit on the bench all the time though and that is his future, most likely.

Was just about to say Sao Paoulo must be the Brazilian club we have been rumoured to be buying lol

He and Miley should be close ish to returning to training after the international window. Miley was October I think, Calum similar.

I think he will start Kelly over Hall but the rest is likely.

Maybe Poch will hold off signing with the USMNT a little longer..

On the upside, our squad seems to react well to the whole being underestimated, written off and us against them (top 6) seige narrative. We will need it the next 4 months.

Surely bringing 2 CB's in means they are dealing on Guehi lol Extra cuntishness They have Riad, Richards and Holding on top of the new two CB's coming in.

I liked the pure optimism and joy of August 2005. Luque, Owen and the surprise return of Nobby last minute. That was beautiful. Until it quickly wasn't lol

Is that how Brighton is getting funded now?

I'd imagine any club that receives a bid from us for one of their players, will look at how high we were prepared to go for Guehi and immediatley slap an initial 20-30m on top. Today is surely an absolute non starter for permanent deals.

He wasn't wrong. He didnt need to delete. It moved very quickly from rumour to dismissed and then "done".

Definitely bullocks then!

We got stuck in PSR jail again.. using our one phone call to Nottingham. Not convinced they are willing to bail us out this time!

Chalobah is essentially right sided Lloyd Kelly. Solid squad addition, slight upgrade on Krafth (arguable). Would still leave a need for an upgrade RCB. Surprised we haven't looked younger for a RCB as we have some experience to protect whomever would come in. Schar is good for at least another season.

I simply refuse to believe we live in a world where there aren't a plethora of alternatives to spending nearly 70m on Guehi. Not a dig on Guehi, just simply unfathomable there aren't at least two dozen alternatives within that price bracket. I don't buy it. By I guess neither will the club.

Osula will come good when Howes starts giving him minutes in 6 months time.

In combination with the players inability to play football well enough to hold any type of saleable, marketable value.

Looks like we could use a fence for sorting our transfer dealings.

Impossible to know what's happening behind closed doors and what the end game or mid-long term transfer plan is. Only thing for certain is that we have had constant obstacles, doors slammed in our faces and pathways blocked at every turn, to prohibt bridging the big 10 year plus gap between us and the big 6. Whole PiF own us we are inevitable. It's just a longer game that most people have patience for! Doesn't stop this window seeming like a disaster. I can cope with out a CB with Kelly coming in. No RW is a unfathomable though. We have significantly boosted the youth ranks again and deepened the squad slightly but we haven't significantly improved the starting line up. Feels like falling behind for sure.

Months of people in the press saying we would be going big certainly didn't help. They just left out the word "dissapointment" after big. If we have no RW option, 2+2= we wanted Noni and were waiting until the end of the window and where Chelsea were at. Shame a week or so ago he was surplus to requirements. Now he is invaluable lol
